More Swiss Rolls
Mmmmm. More swiss roll today. And roast chicken and potatoes and 2 kinds of stuffing. Mmmmm hmmm.
And importantly, we bought grass seed. Just need to borrow a tracked machine and vibrating roller to level off the back garden, and we're away. No, actually, I'm joking - we won't.
Photos have been downloaded from Latvia, and I hope to make some sort of a stab at telling you about it tomorrow. Wait till you hear about the crocodile...!

Dawn of War - Computer Game Review....
For anyone who's interested, Dawn of War is very good. It's a real time strategy based on the Warhammer 40k universe - this helps makes it good, as the game's universe has been well set up, and anyone who used to play the 40k game, or even just buy White Dwarf occasionally will be familiar with the units and races in the game.
It's good fun, as usual, setting up your bases and defences. Controlling troops is quite easy too, as they're arranged in squads rather than single units. You can customise the squads too, with a variety of heavy weapons, some good against vehicles, others better for mowing down enemy soldiers.
One criticism is that the main game is quite short at only 11 missions long, but there's a skirmish mode where you can set up a one-off battle against the computer, not to mention the multiplayer mode which I didn't play with. So a good review for Dawn of War. 7/11 we'll say.
Oh, and Happy Birthday Blog - I'm still doing this after a whole year!!!

New softwarethingy.
Just upgraded to a new version of the blogger thingy (google seem to be in charge here too.....soon we'll be buying google toothbrushes!). Not sure how buggy it is or isn't, but a new feature allows me to add tags to my posts so that you can then see other posts that have related rubbish in them. Sorry, I meant carefully thought out pieces. Anyway, you can't try it out very much yet, as I've only given one a label. As we go on, I'm sure this will be more useful! (though 2 have a General tag - try it!)
