A decade of blogging
I very nearly forgot altogether, but yesterday was my “blogoversary”. The tenth anniversary of starting this blog, in fact. It doesn’t feel like ten years, but then there have been some years where I’ve barely blogged at all, or at … finish reading “A decade of blogging”

Digital Housekeeping
I’ve been doing housekeeping tasks on the computer all day1, and I still haven’t even scratched the surface. Or that’s how it feels – I’ve backed a load of ebooks and photos up onto DVD, and cleared up my podcasts … finish reading “Digital Housekeeping”

Doctor Who finale (Pt1)
(Or, Non-alphabetical Post The Second) I’ve just watched the first part of this year’s Doctor Who finale, “The Pandorica Opens” (and then Confidential, and then Casualty, but never mind that). Wow, that was awesome. And coooool, just like bow ties … finish reading “Doctor Who finale (Pt1)”
L is for Lazy Sunday
I really have done pretty much pants-all today. I should make some kind of effort to at least get ready for doing things tomorrow – put the sheets in the washing machine so they’re ready to go, or something. We … finish reading “L is for Lazy Sunday”
