I needed Brett's help to get this to work. This could be very useful for recommendations for further reading for myself or customers.

Kiev, The Ukraine

This is Kiev, in the Ukraine the city we want to visit next - it's where Dimitri's dad was born and lived until Stalin's secret police took his parents away. He never saw either of them again.

I had problems using Flickr's uploading tool - it seemed to work and told me the picture was successfully uploaded to my blog (and I tried 3 times) but they didn't seem to make it. They must be circling in cyberspace!

In the end I saved it to My Pictures and added it via Blogger.

Valderi Valdera

Here is my gibberish version of the Happy Wanderer song we had to sing at school - it was pretty much gibberish to me then in its original version!

My knapsack on my back.
I wave back on my back.
Chorus:
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-dera,
Val-dera.
My knapsack to all I meet,
"Come! Join my hat to me, the mountain track,
But just like me,
And as I go, I love to all so loud and sing,
And as I go, I love to go a-wander by the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sweet
From ev'ry green wood tree.

Had a good time playing around with all the applications - some wouldn't work on my laptop but enough did. Some have definite future possibilities...

Week Two - just a wee bit late

Have just set up all my RSS feeds with a fair bit of to-ing and fro-ing. It helped when I realised that bloglines were not actually part of blogger and that I had to set up a whole new account! After that it all fell into place and I now have 13 feeds. Some of them look so interesting I think I'll keep them and add to them at the end of this exercise. So much to read so little time...

Kalinikta!

It's very late - I'm very tired. Creating this blog and registering it has used up the last of my energy. Although it wasn't really that hard. Just took up a bit of brain space. I'm sure it will be an interesting and enjoyable exercise but I'm not sure exactly where I'll find the time. But I will somewhere. Till tomorrow...
