		<title>On First Looking Into Amazon&#8217;s Kindle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Did you see,&#8221; I remarked to Katharine, &#8220;That you can get a Kindle with a free 3G connection?&#8221;
&#8220;What&#8217;s that?&#8221;
&#8220;You know, a mobile phone connection.&#8221;
&#8220;No, I mean what&#8217;s a Kindle?&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s Amazon&#8217;s e-book reader. You know, books in electronic format.&#8221;
&#8220;Right.  So as well as reading books on it, you can make phone calls as well?&#8221;
&#8220;No, no.&#8221;
&#8220;That seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>What we did on our holidays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ We had a pleasant holiday based in Salò, on Lake Garda. Salò itself is a dignified, relatively un-touristy town on its own branch of the lake: it has a particularly long lungolago (promenade) along which one can stroll. Its main claim to fame is that it was the base for Mussolini’s government in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A torrent of Gin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I finally saw someone actually drinking one of those small cans of gin and tonic on the train.
A while back, someone decided that small cans of gin and tonic (there are vodka, whisky and I think tequila equivalents too, but I believe it’s the G&#038;T that leads the way) would be just the thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guernica</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I seem to have been hearing a lot about Guernica recently: partly because of the exhibition at Tate Liverpool (which doesn’t include Guernica, but given the theme of  Peace and Freedom it is inevitably a looming presence), partly because of a couple of television documentaries. One of these in particular spoke of the picture with [...]]]></description>

		<title>ABNA comments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I received eventually the two sets of comments on the extract from &#8216;The Dictator&#8217;s Daughter&#8221;, my revised version of this year&#8217;s Nanowrimo novel, which I entered for the ABNA competition. I think they are a bit less satisfactory than those for last year&#8217;s entry, but I suppose we must remember that the reviewers are [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s afoot?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend as I was lying in bed I felt some little twinges in my right foot.  I thought little of it, really. I&#8217;ve had trouble with my feet before, though mainly on the left.  A year or two ago I was referred to a physiotherapist who, in essence, told me my feet weren&#8217;t on [...]]]></description>

		<title>WordPress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing a refurbishment of Conscious Entities recently; a nice new widgetised theme that is fully up-to-date and looks good; a new dynamic blogroll which is far better than a dull set of title links, and the addition of a front-page display of recent comments, all good stuff. In addition, I will now gradually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old Testament</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;Have you been reading the Bible?&#8221; asked Katharine suspiciously.
&#8220;Well, not reading it exactly. I was just checking a couple of things.&#8221;
&#8220;Looking for loopholes?&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, yeah. Did  you see that they&#8217;ve found a tablet which suggests that the Ark was actually circular?&#8221;
&#8220;But that&#8217;s not in the Bible.&#8221;
&#8220;No, well I was also checking what the KJV says compared [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I did on my holidays &#8211; pt 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ We&#8217;d had a slightly overcast week in Brittany, but when we arrived in Paris, with lots of queueing in store, it turned hot. The high thirties in centigrade &#8211; when you came out of the air-conditioned hotel, the sun just hit you.
Still, we did alright: Eiffel Tower (now with sparkly lights every hour at [...]]]></description>
