The cats brought a pigeon in and I had to grab them, push them into Mum's room, open the door, and usher out the pigeon. It's looking a little shell-shocked. Sometimes they add to the burden of the day...Just looking in to make sure my emergency blogspot is still here. The real one is here.

This blogspot is returning to it's status of 'emergency blog'... all posts (old and new) will appear on my new Wordpress blog from now on.

Mum was worrying about what to get one of her friends. She bought a book token for her but gave it to someone else, so has been scratching her head. On TV, someone came on singing Mull of Kintyre."Oh - that's what I'll get!" said Mum. "That's good. She'll like that."Yes, I liked it too - I've always loved Mull of Kintyre. I never got tired of it, though I know it was being played constantly, and

I'm much happier on WordPress, seeing as things are going so badly where my blog originally was - unfortunately there are a few things that aren't so good.(1) CSSMy main quibble in WordPress is not being able to edit the CSS (yes, I know they want to see the colour of my money!) I was able to edit it on Blogigo, so that's a step down for me.(2) Bulleted points!WordPress won't allow me to put a

You Are a ChimeraYou are very outgoing and well connected to many people. Incredibly devoted to your family and friends, you find purpose in nurturing others. You are rarely alone, and you do best in the company of others. You are incredibly expressive, and people are sometimes overwhelmed by your strong emotions.What Mythological Creature Are You?

Life can turn from dreamy to dramatic all in a moment. You're wandering along sleepily, thinking about what you'll do when you get home, and suddenly you have a situation on your hands.I read someone (I can't remember who!) who quoted someone (still can't remember, gah) about how the world would be an awful lot better if people would just sit down and keep quiet. That's very true, though it's not

The night before last I dreamed that one of my favourite pet clients... ach, they're all my favourites in one way or another... wrote me a letter that she was very ill and hadn't much time left to live. She went away while she was still able and would like me to look after her cats for a few days.In this dream I was upset at the news, and when I looked round her kitchen, I saw that she had

I'm enjoying the switch to WordPress - the free version is more restricted than hosting one's own blog, but it's not as restricted as Blogigo. In turn, Blogigo was less restricted than some blog places I sounded out ages ago. It's not as if I went for the first place that popped up in my searches; I didn't know about feeds and so on, but I looked around a bit. One reason I fought shy of Blogger

I'm moving from Blogigo. I will chat a little here while the move is in progress.

Perhaps I'm the only one who hasn't done this meme yet (found on Pete's blog), so here goes:1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? - Both. Gift bags and CD boxes really speed up the process - and can be reused within the family.2. Real tree or artificial? - Artificial - I don't have to buy it all over again every year.3. When do you put up the tree? - Normally much later than I intend (20th Dec onwards)

Do you use the subscription feed icons which are found on blog pages?For instance, see the ones at the foot of my sidebar. Vote in the poll at the top of my sidebar - only two days left at the time of writing this.

Mood: HuntedListening to: 'Flashback' by ImaginationRose DesRochers of the World Outside My Window blog has posted the following piece: A good reason not to post your photos on Blogger, BloggerPlay and Picasa.I'm glad Rose has posted on this matter, as I did not know about these caveats.

I respect window cleaners and am glad of the work they do. But I hate it when I'm sitting here at my computer and there's a strange thump, and you think "what's that?" and when you glance round, all that's there is a cat staring at something you can't see. (Nothing unusual about that). You go to see if anyone came in the door, and it's closed fast - but when you return to your desk, there's a guy

My main blog at Blogigo is back up and running - though it seems it was running all the time for some people, and it 'faded back in' for me, browser by brower. My sister can view it this morning too, and I doubt if she was clearing her cache and deleting her cookies. I was clearing mine but I suspect it was unnecessary. Anybody wanting a little more input into the 'redirect' problems in Firefox

Have come to the conclusion that I'm not happy with the new Blogger/Google method of signing up - OpenID or no OpenID. So far my experience has been that there is no linkback to the commenter unless he/she has a Blogger/Google sign-in... and that link takes you to the profile page. Which isn't too bad if your main blog is a Blogger blog, but mine isn't.If you're not sure what I'm talking about,

Oo - Blogigo has pulled the plug on itself again. Hmm. I should take the opportunity to get that Christmas tree up.Wednesday 20th December: I'm starting to wonder if Blogigo has given up altogether.

Apologies for the false alarm - I will be staying at Blogigo for a little while longer. In my defence, it's a bit of a shock when you visit your blog site and it's gone completely German and there's no indication if we will ever get the English-language pages back. I really feared if I visited my own blog, that would all be German too! These are strange times.The English-language section did come

I wonder if anyone has feedback or experience concerning internet filtering and sites getting banned for no good reason? See my post at my current blog. Not everyone finds it easy to post there because of the comment restrictions, so you can leave comments here if you prefer.
