Coronavirus Diary 64 – Up All Night and Social Distance Snowballing
Though readers might not be aware, WordPress has been pushing another new editor for the last year or two. I’m always one who steadfastly refuses to embrace new technology (did I mention my 1990’s phone!!) but today they have stopped bugging me with prompt screens to use their new editor and instead made it the… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 64 – Up All Night and Social Distance Snowballing

Red sauce, brown sauce or no sauce at all? 15 minutes of fame on the Danny Baker Show
I thought a while on what to title this post.
