    Can you blog? about anything?

    The idea is that steve will put his finger on a page and word in a dictionary and you would have to write...i.e blog about it within 7 days.

    There is no prize, but anyone who does blog states the fact here and you have to read each others and comment there.

    A few are up for it and if you join in then you get read

    Sounds good to me. I'm always up for blogging.
    I wonder why the things that should be so simple, so natural... like loving someone and letting them see into your heart... should require so much courage?

    DTE also posted a 'Ferment ' blog, and posted it yesterday, on time. He forgot to post a link to it so here it is:

    http://www.politic.co.uk/blogs/dte/4...tion-blog.html

    Give it a read and comment, pretty funny, I think.

    As Uncon has apparently missed the deadline shall we extend it till 31st of July before deciding on whether to make it a regular thing?
    Well done Don and Doc, I have well and truly given up, but I am sure there are more members who could give it a pretty good crack!

    I'm Ok with that if uncon is - she'll show up sooner or later, hopefully. You gonna re-announce it to that effect, so more will know and enter? Maybe make it a sticky?
