  • Ironing challenge? Sounds like it's worth a try...

    Watching Beowulf atm. Love the sound of Old English, and it's great that the first recorded story in English just happened to be a horror!

    Always fancied the idea of calling a cat Grendel, but this has always been vetoed by someone or another.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    BUT................ ironing challenge, now I reckon I can do that :D but do I stick my neck on the line an sign up???????

    Oooo just seen I should hit 4000 posts before the end of the year as well, might have to think up something momentous or not as the case may be!
