So, it would appear that my iTunes Blogger over on the left hand side of this page is broken. The application is bumming out every time I fire up iTunes (bit of a pain that!). I think it may be related to a Windows Update that I done last week, will do a bit of [...]

So, it would appear poor little greengirl herself, who has recently hung up her blogging hat (for now) has had her site over on blogspot hijacked by a porn spammer. Whether or not it’s a common feature of retired blogspot accounts, or someone who has been deliberately setting out to sully her good name I’m [...]

Dusseldorf is nice, but, that’s about as far as it goes! Would I recommend the place to someone for a weekend break? The answer…probably not!

K, back from Dusseldorf now, had a great time, will write more about it later, just trying to play catch-up on things for now!
