Your blog is fascinating and I’m amazed that 95% of it has been done via a mobile phone!

My spelling ability, and remembering what/when/where for example, is so dire that I do about 98% of my postings and social networking on a PC; I need to have multiple windows, tabs and programs open all the time to check and find stuff.

Best wishes, Roy :^)

Can i put your blog link on my local blogs (as you are a nottingham-ite) the blog is http://wollypark.wordpress.com/ its not about anything much but is 95% made using an android phone – which is an achievement, and has just 95% pics i’ve taken or have created with apps… so would you like to be on my local blogs page? And would you like to be included in the wollatonblogroll? It doesnt matter if you arent wollaton – bramcote and w bridgeford are there…
Ta
Also can i use your nottingham history link on my history page? You could add a wiki link or nottshistory link instead of updating all of yours…or even a nottm uni .ac.uk one….ta muchly wollypark

For some reason I just started jotting down things I like, appreciate, use etc, but I can’t remember why; I should have made a note! So I don’t have a link I’m afraid.

I had the list in a Word doc for a while, then decided to post it, and again I’m not entirely sure why. I suppose it links in a little with the (so far very sparse) family history portion of the blog and more generally it intrigues me slightly to visit the list occasionally to see if it says something to me about what I am, or at least the me that (as we all do) shows its slightly edited self over the parapet.

Roy :^)

Was this generated with the help of a survey app? If so, I’d love a link.

That’s quite a coincidence; 16 Simonside Terrace was the Weallans family home many years ago and Heidi was a family pet. It’s quite a surprise for her ID tag to turn up like that. We would quite like the tag, so I’ll email you with details. Thanks, Roy Manterfield.
