Reading Pile

August 30th, 2005

I’ve started a new weblog to manage and maintain my Reading Pile (more unread pile actually). Inspired by Mags, it is also powered in the same way (del.icio.us tags for currently reading, having been read, and to be read using the del.icio.us js blogroll thingy for added easy of creation).

Happiness for her is zipping along the seafront at Hartlepool listening to music on her MP3 player.

Can’t see, can’t hear, but can feel the bumbs as she goes over Hartlepool’s sunbathing community.
