Just received, after a year, my first Blog Ads payment. $75.00 which will be spent on a decent dinner for the wifey and myself (yes, this is Portugal, an extremely decent dinner can be had for such a sum…perhaps a Brazilian all you can eat rodizio with 17, count them, 17 courses of meat and a couple of bottles of good wine, one of Vino Verde and one Douro) so my thanks to advertisers, my thanks to readers and why not have a look at what the current advertisers have to say so that it might be only 6 months before I unchain her from the stove again?

Yes, yes, I know, sexist pig, me.
