These things I have vowed, for it is time I showed myself in my true colours, as a simple and kindly old homebody and family man. So.....
Here's a nice picture of my wife Anne:
And one of our cat Misty:
And here am I, busy planning new acts of unsolicited benevolence:
And get a load of that delphinium!

There you are...Tony with a capital T. That looks like a very comfortable back or front garden you've got there. Lovely. I'm probably not qualified to review blogs, but OMF reads like good text (as you may know, I describe things by what they do to me), one that while you conduct other business you're hoping to get a minute or two to read. And where did you get that French limerick from?
Hello Rethabile
I'm sure you're much better qualified to review blogs than I am, but after The Weblog Review were nice about OMF I have applied to join their review staff. I had to state my favourite blog and I said On English, and write a sample review, for which I chose Naked Translations. I'll let you know what happens.
The limerick was in one of John Julius Norwich's collections of short literary items sent out to his friends at Christmas; I don't know where he got it.
> delphiniumisn't that perpoiseous?
No, you're thinking of lamellotias. Get near them and they'll give you osteocoreopsis.
Ahem... what are you folks saying?!
Don't worry about it - we're just being feebly facetious.
