Council Website

My local council has a forum which no one uses. Well, I thought I would give it a go, largely because I was so annoyed at how long it took me to find out my local councillors’ names and contact info (I want to find out what is happening to the park in our village, which is beset by vandals and where the play equipment is, frankly, lethal)!

Anyway, my post was suitably pompous, and after submitting it I was all sent to c&p it into here, but the bloody thing needs to be moderated. Presumably that means every post has to be… cue eyes rolling dramatically.

Tree, by Chillicheese


Been browsing through Flickr and found this beauty from Chillicheese: Palimper and blogger.

I have recently become a ‘pro’ member of flickr, largely so that I can dump loads of family photos for distant family members to see, so they are mostly private. But I am interested in taking more photos more often, not just when we go for a trip out somewhere.

A digital camera is an amazing thing really, when you think about it. Being able to take as many photos as you like, print out some if you want to, send them to friends. I guess it gives you the chance to take risks, wheras before one might have been worried about wasting exposures. Just take loads of photos and sift through them on the PC when you get home. Brilliant.

New Year Annoyance

Just logged into my web-based RSS aggregator (I am using Newsgator these days) to find hundreds of posts all wishing me a happy new year. Great, thanks everyone.

I must be in  a bad mood today. Still, if people just posted photos of their cats, the world would be a much less annoying place.
