Empty Your Archive #14

Welcome to Empty Your Archive where old posts get to party!

This week has been a mixed bag ... on the downside my laptop is no more (it didn't like having a glass of water chucked at it) and I am tapping this out on an aged borrowed mac ... but on the other hand, the sun has shone in London for a whole 5 days ... wow!! Summer at last ...
