RANDOM main page – the new Mr & Mrs Cambridge give
way gracefully to a Wordle
MAY 25 REVIEW – Zoe Durrell. See BOOKS etc / NON-AVIAN
Mostly sorted! The nightmare of computer (operator?) glitch that was the MARINE LIFE drop down
New page RANDOM / YES…BUT IS IT ART? (Rhetorical)

THIS PAGE now also used to post additions and updates to the various main pages on the menu bar / the drop-downs that may not in themselves merit the accolade of a Post (and excluding trivial tweaks and corrections). Most of them have blue click-throughs to the relevant page. That’s the intention, anyway…

THIS PAGE… is now being used as a form of experimental sandpit for playing around with ideas and techniques – e.g. discovering how to embed videos (you can’t just drag ‘n’ drop – too easy)

FUTURE CONTENTS UNDER ACTIVE BUT NOT VERY STRENUOUS CONTEMPLATION PURSUANT TO SOME REJIGGING OF OTHER PAGES

SANDPIT – ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK

Area for testing ideas, embeds etc before adopting or (mostly) discarding them
