LISTS

Everyone needs lists …….. otherwise listlessness sets in ……. obviously.

The Top 100.net is all about lists. I’ve put various lists over there: this has been great fun – the people involved have just the right amount of dementedness and are excellent at telling me how to do ‘stuff’ when I got confused. There are serious [...]

THE DEAD MONKEY SOCIETY

The more observant avid reader will have noticed that I’ve been graffitied by the Dead Monkey Society.

Through the Froglet [she's French you know] at Fuel My Blog I was sent a pair of North Face Hedgehog trainers to try out.

ABSINTHE MINDED

I’ve been given the opportunity [via Fuelmyblog of course - you really should join up and join in] to try absinthe for the first time by the lovely people behind the Absinthe-Shop. I know, I know, at my age I should have tried it already ……… my innocence and ignorance knows no bounds.

Anyhoo my first [...]
