A little bargain from the Cargo Home Shop: 12 reusable silicon cupcake cases, for 4.50. The cases are smaller than a standard muffin, but that suits my purpose brilliantly, to give me something small but tasty with my mid-morning and afternoon tea!
Using this little tip, I now have an rss feed of LiveJournal Friends posts appearing on my iGoogle page. I found the instructions easy to follow, except I didn’t realise the significance of the “&checkcookies=1” parameter, which is required if you either want protected entries…
About ten years ago, when I lived in Brighton, I had a pet called Bambi. I took my responsibilities very seriously, and made sure that it was always warm and well fed.

My poor garden! I let it go somewhat last year, and I haven’t spent much time out there over the winter. Looking at it today, I realised I need to spend a few days out there, raking the dead stuff up, and generally getting it…
