This And That
August already? Time flies. And the links in my 'to blog about' folder keep growing. Before they get too old here are a few for your perusal:
- Praising The Proclaimers is always a good idea. Konstantin blogs about The Proclaimers in German. Fine with me if it spreads their fame.
- Sorry, got to go (via Nothing To Do With Arbroath)
- One of them is about 15min walk from where I live, the other about 10min drive: Princess Margaret Hospital and Great Western Hospital in Swindon. Luckily I haven't had to visit either so far. The historic comparison is interesting nevertheless.
- I think I'd be fairly safe from drowning here in Swindon but then I don't know if I'll still be in Swindon when this happens: How Britain would look if sea levels were to raise by 84m. Most of Wales and Scotland look a much safer bet though. I think I'll consider moving sooner...
- Considering the previous point the Hebrides might not be the best place to do it, but crofting seems to be growing in popularity. Not sure where the ones on Islay are, I've seen some of the ones on Jura last year. If it's financially viable it's certainly a better place to live than most cities.
- Saw this too late for the last event, but if I remember I'll try to participate in the next one: The World Wide Panorama
Photography takes place on the solstices (longest and shortest days of the year) and equinoxes (day and night of equal length). Photographers all over the world are welcome to participate
- I don't eat much jam, but when I'm on Islay later this month I probably should try some jam (I'm staying in the hotel mentioned in the article).
- Apparently most Americans don't know what RSS, podcasting or phishing means. I doubt that's much different here in Europe.
That'll have to do for now. Hope that will keep you busy for a while. The other post I was thinking about will probably have to wait until at least tomorrow, possibly Wednesday.
