I haven't been posting much here, I know. I've been posting quite a bit on Flickr, of which more anon, though, so feel free to head over there and take a look (I'm working on integrating my Flickr posts with this blog). In the meantime, I thought I'd share an ad that just tickled me: [...]Archive

Do unto others, etc.
From BBC News: Feuding nuns force convent demise: A convent in Italy is being shut down after a fight between its last three remaining nuns.
