but will probably be even more boring than usual.

As many of you know I've been flirting with FB recently, but I'm so shocked by how little of my life I can remember and by my propensity to waste time that I really ought to keep a record of what I'm doing.

Feel free to ignore.

I never get notifications from lj unless someone's commented on something I've written. And I haven't written anything for ages ( Read more... )

I fell for one of these phishing scams not so long ago on another account, though in the end no harm seems to have been done. Although there were repeated attempts at the same thing on that bank account, I hadn't seen any others. Today, however, I cleared out my spam folder and found one telling me my access to my Egg account was suspended (didn't ( Read more... )

I spent yesterday afternoon excavating another baby burial. I came across the fragmented skull last weekend, right up against the corner of the building I've been working in. We couldn't make out at the time exactly what it was (other than a skull) - site director thought it was probably a dog. Anyway, having realised that I was in danger of ( Read more... )

I had a lovely day digging yesterday. A few heavy showers in the morning, but most of the day oK, quite warm at times and nice and sheltered down in the room we're excavating. Early in the day the detectorist found a really nice coin on the spoil heap. I was so pleased for him - I still felt guilty about the one I found. We had a good look at it ( Read more... )

Funnily enough I'd also been intending to write something on the fat issue raised by catlily .

My take is a litle different because obviously I'm not intending to up my animal fat intake, but I was sufficiently alarmed by last week's Food Programme www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qnx3 to start looking at the fats in my own diet.

Although I am very unfit and ( ( Read more... )

I just spent a few seconds supporting a Compassion in World Farming campaign to improve chicken welfare.

It was really easy to email my MP and ask them to show their support for honest labelling - this would let consumers easily identify what is intensive chicken and what is higher welfare.

Over 25% of MPs have already supported the ( Read more... )
