Activities - useful information

It's raining, so rather than gardening I thought I'd prune the mountains of paperwork that accumulate over the months and years. So as I find useful information, I'll now put it on the blog and tag it ... and bin the paper.

Perhaps 2009 can be the year of the paperless chateau?
