This morning started light. I blog, so I also read blogs. Sometime I cross a headline that makes my dog wonder what’s wrong with me as his ears perk up while I spontaneously bust out laughing.
Two of them here. First was found by David Naylor and the headline is Great tits cope well […]

It’s time. It needs to happen. This site is a mess, unfocused and confusing - I know. It was fun, allowed me to play and explore without hurting clients. I never expected some of what has happened and have for a time been reluctant to change things. The size of this blog, all the sub-wordpress […]
