I hear that Mugabe is declaring a landslide win in the so-called election in Zimbabwe. This man either lives in his own fantasy world or thinks he really is fooling people in spite of evidence to the contrary in the international press.
At least Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Tutu have come out clearly and spoken against [...]
New Squidoo Lens About The Historic City of Bath,

The Pulteney Bridge Across the Avon in Bath, England
I’m about three quarters the way through a new lens called The Historic City of Bath, England. The trouble about doing a lens on Bath is there is so much to cover. Of course that’s a good thing too because at least I’m not scratching around wondering [...]
Pity the Poor Pigeon
Posted by: stazjia on: June 28, 2008
I know pigeons are vermin and pests, particularly in towns and cities. They carry disease, they disfigure buildings and pavements (sidewalks) with their droppings as well as cause physical damage to buildings.

I was delighted to find that my Squidoo lens on The Historic City of York received a Squid angel’s blessing today. It hasn’t appeared on her Diary of a Squid Angel yet but I’m hoping it will go on today. I did a lot of work on it yesterday – new text plus I [...]

A Squidoo Day Today
Posted by: stazjia on: June 22, 2008
I’ve spent nearly the whole day updating and changing two of my Squidoo lenses – Enjoy Visiting London and The Importance of the New Forest.
I got my courage up and went on the Squidoo Forum and asked for a critique of the New Forest lens. I’m pleased to say that the only suggestions I got [...]

This is officially the first day of summer and here in England it’s raining again. Yesterday I had to give in and put on a sweater because it was chilly. It really isn’t at all summerlike here and from now on it’s downhill with nights getting shorter – oh joy! Of course Wimbledon Tennis starts [...]
