Mapping Aural History

Eeees Verry, Veeerrrrry EEEeenterrresteeenk...

Here's a nifty little site; I stumbled across it via this article. Give it a listen:

Extracts from the Survey of English Dialects and the Millennium Memory Bank.

It's from the Collect Britain section of the British Library.

Resolve

Happy Belated New Year.

Okay. So it's post~Xmas, and you're broke.

But it's time to make New Year Resolutions; and suffering a small personal sacrifice in order to provide a much-needed donation ought to appeal to that part of you who is trying to become a better person.*

You can conveniently & effectively combine self~improvement with selfless~improvement by visiting a site called Stumptuous.

Mistress Krista has thoughtfully provided some very good links for donations, as well as some timely observations on personal resolutions; she also has devoted a significant portion of her site to weightlifting for {gasp} girls.

Her site is informative, witty and inspirational; well worth a visit, even you you never plan to donate to charity or lift a finger.

* If you have trouble identifying that part of you, it's related to the very same part that thought it was a good idea to altruistically spend all available cash on Xmas gifts simply for the pleasure it would bring to others.
