Tried out Google Reader again, which is actually a lot slickr than bloglines which I usually use.
subscribed to "The Distant Librarian" and "Panlibus" as well as "Spanish word a day" - which has very useful expressions in spanish like " She is as beautiful as her mother" which I am sure I will find many opportunities to use in daily conversation.
Living in Western suburbs Melbourne, gratefully and happily retired, which gives more time for pursuing the important things like messing about in small boats - my Core Sound 17, my recentlycompleted CLC Skerry, the Bolger pirogue, and the sea kayaks - plus walking and cycling and cycle touring mostly on folding or recumbent bikes.
