TaDaaah!

It worked! *phew*

I’m exhausted ;)

Cyber cookies for the first person to comment with the correct number of header images in use :)

I’m holding my breath …

… because I am just about to change the blog. *gulp*

I’ve found a wonderful theme to play with (tell you all about it later) but the crunch will come as I try and replicate all the customisations I’ve made on a test site to this live site.

So if things are a tad, umm, unusual, for the next short while (I hope it will be a short while), bear with me.

Time for a change/update of sorts

Not very good with this blog lark, am I? An average of less than one post a week, and this is my first for 3 months! I’m far too easily distracted by that strange thing called “real life” ;)

I reckon this dates from 1966: no men with long hair, no signs of flowerpower, and I remember only too clearly how old I was I was when I was desperately trying to learn to apply thick eye-liner and persuade my Mother that a Mary Quant geometric haircut was just what I needed to make my life perfect …

How’s this for precision?

My jaw is still on the floor!

(Do watch all the way through)
