Life Satisfaction: A Scientist's Guide by Leo Lafferty-Whyte PhD.
There is an irony, I feel, in this post. A few days back I posted about doing 15 days of giveaways. I then failed completely and utterly to even put together the widget for the first giveaway, and have been slumped in a heap of self recrimination ever since. So how can I possibly be…
Happy blogaversary to me.
15 years of blogging. Here’s to the next 15. Today’s giveaway: A mini monster. Yet to be made (you can’t have the spotty one, that’s Tigerboy’s. ) There’ll be a gleam widget here in a minute if my battery lasts. (Ok, it hasn’t. Tomorrow. )
Lifestyle changes, the Italian edition.
A few months ago, t’other half had a bit of a wake up call from a scheduled GP encounter. Nothing immediately serious, but a whole load of little factors that add up together to mean that his overall health picture wasn’t nearly as good as it could be.

Dixit – a family card/board game reviewed
Buy at Amazon I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when we were sent Dixit for our Blogger board game club review last month.

Drawing exercises – blind contour drawing
