		<description><![CDATA[Friday was a day off work and my plans for visiting a couple of nature reserve sites to, hopefully, take some decent images of dragonflies were ruined by the rain and wind. It was Friday 13th after all &#8211; maybe I shouldn&#8217;t have even made any plans! I managed a few hours out yesterday afternoon, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About 2 weeks ago, &#8216;im indoors and I went to see &#8220;Inception&#8221;. Now, it takes something to get us off our fat backsides and into the cinema: despite being movie fans we have a track-record of managing to wait until the DVD comes out and then watching at home, in comfort! But this looked intriguing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the many things I love about the &#8216;net is the ability to find &#8216;how to&#8217; video clips: watching a video tutorial is usually much better for me than simply reading how to do something. (Although I do still like to have a hard copy reference book to read through.) I&#8217;ve got used to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just over 5 years ago, in an unexpected display of enthusiasm for gardening, my husband decided to help me get rid of an overgrown jasmine from the back wall of the house. Next thing I knew, he&#8217;d managed to sever the TV aerial cable &#8211; at which point he realised that there had been a [...]]]></description>

But I had a wonderful few hours in Foxley Wood and the images in the gallery below &#8211; mostly, but not entirely, bluebells &#8211; are my pick of the day. They wouldn&#8217;t win [...]]]></description>

I did manage [...]]]></description>

What you can&#8217;t do is &#8216;upgrade&#8217; in the sense of over-writing the existing OS, it has to be a clean install. So why does sodding MS not say that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve all been to the cinema, or sat at home, and been disappointed by a film for which we had high &#8211; or even just reasonable &#8211; expectations. Lately, I seem to be on a roll for having my expectations dashed. Take &#8216;Avatar&#8217; for example. I&#8217;d read enough to know that I didn&#8217;t have high [...]]]></description>
