Get your cute little be-hind over to brightmeadow.blogspot.com, which is my current blog.
I’ll be sure to let you know when this site is ready for public consumption.

well my days of taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle

Well, the blog has definitely come of age now. If you will all cast your attention here to the comments at the end of the I Have Breasts post, you will find a comment that is not the most complimentary I have ever received.

Taking into consideration the (one, thank you JB) input I had about the new-format Sunday Roasts, here are my favourites from the past week. The del.icio.us tag ’sundayroast’ is still very much up and running, so do subscribe to that as well, just to make sure you don’t miss anything.
