Gloves are not just for fingers!

Well, I’m still trying to get use to WordPress, haven’t figured out how to create a visible blogroll, and Splinder is still unavailable.

In the meantime, how about gloves?

Transition: from here to there

Without any warning whatsoever, the platform I previously used for my blog, Splinder, just shut down. In addition, it’s impossible for me to log in and recover data.  What a pity!  I’ve been using Splinder for more than 8 years thus creating encyclopedic archives useful for anyone interested in recycling.

So I’ve transferred to WordPress.  It will take me awhile to get use to the new format so please be indulgent.
