Not usually about penguins. Wednesday, September 09, 2009. The web is burning a hole in my pocket. The internet is full of tempting things. Currently it is home harvest. Organic vege gardens, sport kilts. And party in my pants. Pads that appeal to me. I'm trying to talk D around to the first, the second has exorbitant postage to NZ and the third is just rather expensive but maybe. These are closer to home in case you are tempted:.

Then I looked inside and found out that it meant what things. I was left with the thought - what is the simplest book I could write that explains "What is Red? This is a blue light.

Not usually about penguins. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Today the builder came to do a wee job and told us we needed to empty everything.

http://notusuallyaboutpenguins.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Not usually about penguins. Sunday, November 09, 2008. Now it's time for a change. The problem with democracy is that people who don't agree with me get to vote.
