(Warning: WordPress geek speak ahead)

As you can see things have changed a bit round here.  I have done this for a couple of reasons, firstly the old theme was, well a bit old.  I spent a lot of time building that theme from scratch, completely custom, however it relied heavily on some clumsy stuff and I have decided to strip everything back, upgrade to the new version of WordPress and stick mainly to a simple theme.  I am trying out a couple of pre-made ones, but may eventually make my own or just customise a prefab.  But the main point is to keep it simple this time, simple and manageable, that’s what we like.

In other news, I swatted a fly with a ruler mid-air.  Momentum kept it flying momentarily and then it fell to earth, dead.  Aussie flies tend to be really easy targets, they are big lumbering oafs.  I did feel a bit sorry for this one though as he lay there legs up,  I tried to imagine how impact alone kills a fly.  I mean, if you are a human impact means broken bones mushed up brain, but a fly has a pretty tough exoskelington and I am sure its tiny brain is not affected by impact, I mean it hardly slops around in spinal fluid does it?  Strangely enough, just as I write this the fly has come back to life!  So I suppose I just knocked him out, but still the question looms, what happens in a fly’s tiny brain to make it be knocked out?
