Twitter: where you go to react to news headlines.


Micro Monday time! It’s got to be @Bruce who has so thoroughly thrown himself into the community in a way that only reaffirms my decision to set up camp here. Talk about a full-flavoured blog, crossing all kinds of interests and topics worthy of discussion. 😊
