					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been bugging me for years&#8230; the only thing I really prefer in Excel over Libre Office Calc is that I can tell Excel I always want to edit in the input line, rather than directly in the cell. Turns out you can do this in Libre Office too, just customise the keyboard and change [&#8230;]]]></description>

Well, I&#8217;d like to be able to say that I haven&#8217;t had much luck with the writing recently, and this is true to an extent. And I&#8217;d like to say that my lack of writing hasn&#8217;t been entirely due to laziness, but being honest, it [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[First of all, my apologies. The site was offline for a while. It should have been for a few days, because my hosting company sorted the problem and provided a repair tool to everyone quite quickly. Unfortunately I&#8217;ve had a few distractions of late so I wasn&#8217;t as on the ball as I should have [&#8230;]]]></description>

He didn&#8217;t really even mind looking after the baby. But it did interfere with work, sometimes. He continued typing &#8211; “the uplift in profits that can reasonably be expected from this management [&#8230;]]]></description>

Please read the story first if you want to avoid spoilers&#8230; I&#8217;ve had the idea of this one for ages &#8211; years, in fact.

					<description><![CDATA[The soft lilt of the church bells in the distance provided my usual Sunday morning wake up call. I got out of bed, brushed my teeth, dressed slowly, made myself hot chocolate and sat in my chair in the window, looking at the frost outside. “It’s cold today, isn’t it?” she asked. I nodded.
