Guide to this blog

The Blogroll is now in three parts. The main part is arranged according to the date the blog was last updated with the most recent first. Many blogs use the BDSMLR platform which does not include date information; they are in a separate Blogroll arranged alphabetically but I check from time to time and remove any that have been permanently closed. The final part is a list of interesting Twitter feeds - again in alphabetical order.

March Favourite

This month I've picked my favourite from the cover of a JANUS magazine from some years ago. This was issue 8 of the current number series.
I loved the classic school uniforms in this - the girl at the back in the white blouse appeared in quite a few pictures around that era but the girl at the front I don't recall seeing again. Apart from her having rather bizarrely removed her shoes she looks totally credible and very attractive - clearly a maturing young lady, mortified to be facing a sound caning for her misdemeanours - the look of shock and resignation on her face is priceless. If I was the headmaster charged with teaching her a lesson I'm pretty sure she'd have had a few sharp smacks across the backs of her legs first.

Hotels, hotels, hotels...

Believe me, when you spend half your life living in hotels, while some may be better than others, they do tend to blur into each other. Then once in a while, one of them surprises, and it's not always the best hotels that give you reason to smile.

Staying at a hotel with a theme of Indian movies (no idea why) imagine stepping out of your hotel room each day to be faced with this poster on the opposite wall!
Well it brightened my day I can tell you! (And no, I haven't spoiled the picture by cutting out the action on the top right - unfortunately that guy was just posing).
