Apologies to any one who has tried to access our site recently and found they couldn't because the bandwidth was exceeded, we were as you may already know being plagued by spammers leaving entries repeatedly on our guestbook.
Having taken advice from our service provider we now have a nifty little gadget called a CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) which in theory stops automatic entry of comments and means every spammer has to enter a code manually in order to leave a message.
It also means unfortunately that you ordinary mortals who just want to browse our site and leave us a message have to undergo the same procedure and prove you're human (incidentally on a slightly different version of CAPTCHA I failed twice!)
On a different subject, did the earth move for you last week? The whole boat shuddered and I thought it was just the wind until Scott shouted down that the news had said there'd just been an earthquake.
Really windy at the moment, last night on my way home from work I got blown from one side of the road to the other and ended up clinging onto a lamppost for dear life to stop myself falling down the bank. I decided I just needed to get home and set off at a run, taking as small steps as possible to not have my feet off the floor for long and with my arms outstretched to create as streamlined shape as possible. I hope there are no CCTV cameras down the causeway, I must have looked a right sight.
Regular readers of this blog will know we do not believe in superstition...........So, here's to a Spam Free Summer just around the corner...........Fingers Crossed!
