Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
Sometimes someone will find the answer to a mystery and everyone learns that answer but then later, someone else finds a different answer. Then there will be two factions fighting over the answers because some will be financially and emotionally invested in the old answer and others will be similarly invested in the new answer. Mysteries are tricky things but it's the answers that cause all the trouble.

"Great Auk!" Sounds like some colorful expression of disgust from a turn-of-the-century teenager complaining about not being allowed to listen to the current and scandalous songs of the gay nineties. "He's the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo"
These animations on completing the 7-day badges each day are all very nice but I have a question about them. How does one return to the page one was looking at before watching the animation. Hitting the back arrow takes one to the page before starting point and closing the animation page closes the connection to WdC. So how do we get back?
Okay, it’s a minor irritation to be brought back to the page before starting but it’s annoying even so. I just wondered if there were a trick to it.
