      It's bad enough having a cold, not very nice at all. But for it to be smelly as well, you do have my sympathy! ;-)

      On a more positive note - I've made some muffins and soldered two more small parts on me tipper body.

    3. Mikkel

      Mikkel

      Fwiw I tried both and although wordpress has more scope i actually prefer the simplicity of blogger. Although your experience sounds different so far! Anyway, muffins and tipper are more important matters.

      Celsius is the same as Centigrade - it's just been re-named after its inventor!
