Most of my working life has been spent in libraries, but in my younger days I trained and worked as a nurse. Now I have given up paid employment to cultivate the art of not working, and save my life at the same time. Life isn't always easy, but it's what we've got. Carpe diem!

Spam

For some reason heaps of spam has been getting through lately, so I've turned Comment Moderation on for a while. Sorry about that but at least moderation isn't as irritating as Blogger's Word Verification. I don't know about anyone else but I have a real problem deciphering those letters.

I'm listening to "The News Quiz" on BBC Radio 4 while writing this. I love this programme - so funny. And to think I'm hearing it at the same time as UK listeners! I love the internet.

  1. I always have moderator on as I get dozens of spam comments every day. It's a real pain.

  2. My anonymous comments go to my email, and they are weird, to say the least. I cannot understand why some of the readers bother to send such a comment, from some very odd blogs or sites !! Enough said, some/most/ almost every one, too rude to even repeat. Hope your day is sunny like ours. Cheers from Jean, the other side of the range.

  4. Kim at Peapods has just posted about the same problem. Luckily I am mostly un-troubled by these fools. Why do they bother!

  5. I had to go back to word verification. I was receiving more SPAM than comments. It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place!
