A Toe in the Water of Technology..

Dear Readers,

This is a substandard post.

I am merely warning you that I may not actually write anything of note (this assuming that you think I do, anyway) for a day or two while I fiddle around with a new, rather more complex theme for the blog that I am assured will dazzle everyone with its stunning beauty and alluring layout.

It has been brought to my attention, not a few times, that the visual appeal of the current one is somewhat limited, and when I visit other peoples’s blogs I am forced to agree.  

Back in the good old days I could have gotten one of my willing nerd-serfs to do this job for me – always seemed to be some chap about just gagging to come over to do a useful and tedious chore in exchange for the pleasure of listening to me utter insincere compliments and excessive protestations that I couldn’t possibly manage on my own while I fussed around with the kettle and packets of biscuits. Since marriage and children they have dropped off rather and I am forced to do the dirty work myself. Ironic, really. Husband totally uninterested in computers and DIY and would not mind (read notice) at all if I kept a coterie of adoring swains trooping through the house, save the increase in the tea bill  but I seem to have lost the knack of attracting them. 

Anyway, I digress.  My point is that I shall be a little less verbose than usual and the look of the blog might be a bit, for want of a better word, erratic over the next few days. It could well get a lot worse before it gets better.  

But bear with me! I will just be moving bits of furniture about behind the scenes with my pinny on and a scarf tied around my head. Try to imagine me looking pink cheeked with a charming smudge of dust across my nose, instead of dirty haired, furious and sweating, threatening the computer with bits of vicious-looking broken code..

Hopefully we’ll both come out looking much more refreshed.
