Skuds’ Sister’s Brother

Earlier today I noticed that posts from this site were not appearing on the aggregated feed on the Bloggers4Labour site. I really had no idea how long this had been happening - or not happening depending on your point of view.
Andrew R didn’t know for sure either, but said he was getting a […]

On Saturday I really should have gone up to London to meet up with fellow Labour bloggers (plus a token Tory or two). A combination of a general lack of motivation at the moment, a lot of family activity in the two weeks before christmas, a shortage of funds courtesy of Christmas and an […]

Jayne told me that I had a parcel at home from Amazon, and as I have not ordered anything from there for ages I was full of anticipation to find out what it was. I imagined it could be a birthday present, but couldn’t think who it would […]

One reason I could not get to the B4L meet-up in London this evening was that we only returned from another trip to Dorset today.

A little over a week ago Andrew at B4L started a sort of experiment with recommendations for blog posts. It seems like it might be a good idea as long as it doesn’t lead to Woolworths record department syndrome.
Some people may not have heard about WRD syndrome because it is something I made up […]

I do not usually bother to plug other blogs, for a very sound practical reason - all the ones I like are already miles more popular than this one and I cannot imagine that everyone has not already heard of them!
However, there is a new one just started by Snowflake5 which looks promising. Only 4 […]
