Some one asked me, "what would make you smile today?" I didn't have much of an answer. Later, I had to pick Esme up from school. We walked, for a change. On the way out, Esme said hello to a few friends. Like, 8 of them. And as we walked in the same direction and they were running, Esme ran with them too. It reminded me of wild horses, running for the fun of it. And she laughed as she ran. This grumpy person realised he had the widest grin on his face.

I've cleared out the bread bin, and the leftovers from the car from last week's Feed the Duck Experience. And we have several different pile, more had I not thrown away the moldy ones. Bradley says, "Cor, it's like a bread shop." As we walk down we are nearly mobbed by hungry geese. Bradley's brought his sword along for this very purpose. "I will sword them. I am brave of gooses." Later, I'm the silly bugger who has to carry the sword all the way around the shops.

"Every month or so, Google makes changes to try to stop the cheating. This is called the Google Dance. And occasionally it carries out a fairly major overhaul. The latest happened in November and is known as the Florida Update. It's this which has caused the anger and bewilderment among web users."

I've noticed that there's far, far fewer pages returned when I search for "Steve Hooker" It used to return over 24,000 now it's just 7,400.

I think they're doing it for advert money, rather than to stop people cheating. After all they're the biggest and best but don't actually earn much out of searching. [Related:] How to profit from google ads

"Instead of the usual "bring bring", its customers will be able to select hits from the likes of Kylie or Busted."

Costs a pound to sign up and £1.50 each tune. All this sounds quite expensive to me. But, I've never ever bought a ring tone, so I guess this isn't for me.

"As powerful and useful as they are, floats can make for tricky layout tools. Chances are that you may have seen something like the situation shown in Figure 1, which is accomplished with just two div elements, each with a floated image inside it." Dead useful this will be for me in a week or so. I've been trying to figure out how to add news items without the containing table, but all my efforts have resulted in over hanging images, just like their figure 1 (left).
