  Hello hope everyone is well. How’s the weather in your area of France? The weather forecast said it is going to be sun, sun, sun in Toulouse with a high of 30 on Saturday. It’s dismal here; rain, wind, rain, wind followed by humid overcast afternoons.
  Looking forward to the spare room. Truly DESPERATE to catch up on sleep. Really looking forward to seeing you all and having a much needed relax.

  Liv – I like the colour scheme, however, I can’t see how I publish this now. I think there is a button that says ‘Post it’ underneath this, but only half is showing. Is this part of the new minimalist design?

  Perhaps we should chose pictures representing us rather than likenesses? Such as:

  I’m not sure the squashed faces showing alongside the replies to posts or in ‘recent comments’ are an improvement on the full image. Jul looks like a dachshund and Liv a Halloween lantern. Also, the background colour scheme seems a tad unadventurous – I mean, there is no colour!

  A fresh look 

  Hail fellow bloggers. Let me know what you think of the clean fresh look.

  Posts can be made in the normal way (indeed if you want to attach photos or add a title, you have to) or quick posts can be made through the front end.

  I’ve also enabled replies, to encourage debate or something…

  A genuine banksy? 

  Just spotted this on the walk to the train station. Looks like a Banksy to me or perhaps an imitation…

  Was this ‘standard issue’ kit courtesy of HMG or LBG?

  End of an era 

  I was glad I had swapped my light grey, suavely cut “Francis” suit for a more sombre, square shouldered “Tony”, as dark attire was definitely the order of the day. Everyone looked older. I saw a particularly wizened specimen with silver hair in a dark trench coat in the large mirror of the reception room, before realising it was me.

  It was a jolly-ish occasion, nevertheless, seeing everyone again and reminiscing.

  My vote goes for… 

  … anything that isn’t silage coloured Joking aside, anything that is easier to add photos to would be a bonus.

  Blog 

  It looks a bit complex to me, what with having to remember what all those letters do. Maybe it would be more suitable for a blog with many daily updates? However, it might encourage users overseas to up their ante?

  For me, any new format that makes posting photos and videos more easily would win hands down.

  How about a fresh blog design? 

  I was thinking about updating the blog design to increase the freshness… clean and crisp is the order of the day i feel.

  I’m wondering whether to incorporate some of the ideas from:

  it looks a little like twitter, but it’s really just a blog with inline comments.

  any thoughts? ideas for a fresh theme?
