Me and drugs – whether legal or illegal – have never mixed happily. I seem to be way too sensitive to their myriad side-effects. Take the time some years ago when I was put on a powerful steroidal painkiller for problems with my ankles. “Has been known to cause mental disturbances in some individuals” went […]

…because I’m now on pay-per-minute dialup. Yup, I’ve finally bitten the bullet, waved by-by to AOL and signed up for broadband. Unfortunately, my spanking-new broadband modem won’t arrive until next Tuesday, so I’m on BT’s “how much a minute??!!??” dialup service until then. Hence the lack of posts. However, looking on the the bright side, […]
Work!! I’m busy – so I haven’t been able to write a proper post for days. Got to get Transit together, got to rebuild the Elfin Diaries site… So i can’t write about the marvelous autumn colours, or the peace now that Son is spending a few days away, or watching John & Pauline’s kitten […]
…Just had a call from Elfin Diaries Caroline. She says she keeps getting complaints from people that the website won’t load for them. I have been trying to tell her for months that the Erol shopping-cart software that the site runs on is rubbish – full of depreciated tags, frames and buggy Javascript. So it’s […]

Thought I’d have a bit of a relax this morning – go off to the village to get my newspaper, than have breakfast and read said newspaper at leisure. But of course, it hasn’t worked out that way. While I was in the village, I remembered that I hadn’t done any work on the Astrological […]
If you’re viewing this in Internet Explorer, I’m still having problems with IE’s blasted CSS positioning bugs. Which is why it’s looking rather odd to you. I’ll get it sorted eventually. But in the meantime, switch to Firefox and see the way it’s supposed to look! The picture in the head isn’t mine. It’s a […]
Decided on a new blog title. It’s taken from the directions that we give to visitors so that they can find us: “Turn left at the bridge, straight through the village, we’re half a mile on the left.”
Now that it’s got a new look, I think this blog needs a new title as well. Oh, Bloggitt! was a neat enough little joke a year ago when I thought it up, but I’m now getting bored with it. Besides, there’s another blog out there called Bloggitt. It’s in Italian so I’ve no idea […]
