Lynette kindly showed me how to create an igoogle page, I am really enjoying this task. I have created an igoogle page and will have fun adding to it. It will be handy to have this information at my fingertips.
I had a quick look at Library 2.0 movement, don't quiet understand all this technology, it's all too much for me! Maybe it's my age!
I had a look at the delicious site and I liked it. I seached for recipes and home decorating ideas, it looks very interesing, when I get some free time (ha ha) I will spend a lot more time on this site.

True love

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more

Myspace and Facebook

I had a bit of a look at these sites, I personally don't think I will join either of these sites. It is probably more for the younger generation. The only time I would probably condsidier joining a site like these is if I were to move interstate or overseas, it would be a good way to keep contact with friends.

RSS

I subcribed to some food sites, I had a look at digg and I subscribed to a library blog, Unshelved a comic strip about a library. all this doesn't really take my fancy, I don't seem to have much time to look at these sites, maybe if I did spend more time looking I would find them interesting.

I chose of course the Union Jack , how appropriate.

I found this task quite easy.

Week 3, I managed to join a flickr group, all looks quite interesting, it took me a while but I eventually did it. One day when I get some spare time (ha, ha) I will have a better look at this site.

St Paul's cathedral, London.


A Cathedral dedicated to St Paul has overlooked the City of London since 604AD, a constant reminder to this great commercial centre of the importance of the spiritual side of life. The current Cathedral - the fourth to occupy this site - was designed by the court architect Sir Christopher Wren and built between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London.

Today I will be taking you to the tower of London.

The Tower of London is a complex located on the Thames River in London. It has a rich history dating back to 1066, when William of Normandy decided to build the White Tower after he had taken over the kingdom of England. The Tower of London is a complex made up of many different sections. The Tower is surrounded by a moat on three sides and the Thames River on the fourth. The outside fortifications consist of Legge's and Brass Mount. The inner fortifications, called the Ballium Wall, have 12 towers: the Bloody Tower, the Wakefield Tower, the Bell Tower, the Lanthorn Tower, the Salt Tower , the Broad Arrow Tower, the Constable Tower, the Martin Tower, the Brick Tower, the Bowyer Tower, the Flint Tower, the Devereux Tower, and the Beauchamp Tower

Hadrian's Wall is a stone and turf fortification built by the Roman Empire across the width of modern-day England. The wall was built to prevent military raids by the Pictish tribea (ancient inhabitants of Scotland)

Here is a picture of where my family once lived. It's a modest house which had plenty of space for all the kids. It is one of my favorite places to go and visit when I am in England.
