Welshcakes Limoncello, of Sicily Scene is one half of a Welsh tag team, the other being Simone de Beauvoir Limoncello and they blog on all things Sicilian.
She also keeps up with all things British or at least did until Sky shut them down in Italy. Could this be the start of an attempt to return [...]

The Quiet Man is an English stalwart who is part of the large rump of this country that does NOT appreciate the way the place has gone down, especially in the past 13 years.
As QM says:
Once I was British and proud, now I’m English and proud, I wonder what’s going to go next? [...]

11,825 spams caught, 5,617 legitimate comments, and an overall accuracy rate of 99.708%.
Thought that was interesting and about 10 000 of those spams have been since early February. Hotting up. One who called himself Z with exclamation marks got through the system and we’ve since analysed him and dealt with it in our own [...]

The triple glazing
Cherie asks why and I reply – I’ll tell you when they turn up at 8 a.m. to finish the job. They left gaping holes to the outside last night and it was an interesting thing sleeping in the next room with little heating. It looks good though and should both cut out [...]

When I arranged to go out today, I just knew they’d suddenly arrive to put in the triple glazing. It will not affect much because the posts are already up. Hopefully they’ll be done by nightfall and I’ll get back to you then.

A severe bout of self-renewal up in the Scottish paradise:
“I’m starting with the man in the mirror… I’m asking him to change his ways… No message could have been any clearer… If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change… A willow [...]

What to say to the professional and estimable Cherry Pie for her 600 comments? Thank you from all one of us here at Nourishing Obscurity! May our association be long and fruitful. Just a warning to the others out there – although it’s relatively safe to approach Cherry Pie, never be lured into playing board [...]

The way I always get into my site is to go through my homepage and to get to that involves googling “nourishing” – just the one word. Usually my old site is in top spot or in N3, the two main rivals being two “definitions” sites. Occasionally some other “nourishing” is up there for half [...]

Blogging here was/will be non-existent light on the weekend/today/tomorrow for two reasons – birthday celebrations today and a longish post on “the EU and us” to answer the quite extraordinary statement by a deputy leader of one of the UK parties that the EU is no problem to us and there is no need for [...]

Well, well, well – the enigmatic and mysteriously accurate Xxxl, with whom this site’s security service has had such an interesting relationship, has stormed through the 200 comments barrier and caught us all unawares.
Congratulations, sir or madam or alien from the stars – your uncanny economic prophecies could hardly be human. For an example of [...]

What to do about the Blogrolls?
There’s just not enough time to visit the hundreds on my blogrolls and yet I want to. My mate asked two things about them:
