    Well, now look what you made me do!

    I haven’t spent this much time on Twitter for ages – it’s very nice to be able to follow your link to the cream of the drek.

    So I read many and laughed a lot (is that a LAL?) and made a few modest contributions to the mirth:

    The Big Nap

    A Farewell To Ankes

    The Wind In The Pillows
