This seemed appropriate :)

Hi all,

This is the first in what will hopefully be a regular series, talking about the articles I've enjoyed from others in the Blogosphere over the last 7 days (although, in this case, it will be from the last 11, going back to Sat 16th April.)

Please bear in mind that these are other peoples blogs- there may be explicit language or "unsuitable for youngster" material on them, or in the comments sections.
