What level of education is required to understand your blog?
I’m personally quite happy that nobody needs a PhD to read my blog, so this result makes me feel like casa az is open to everyone, which was kinda the idea from the start.
Meanwhile, I tested this test by putting in the URL of my new travelblog, which is basically all photos and very little text, and it came out with it needing a High School level to understand it. Go figure . . .
Also, when you copy and paste the html there is some sort of cheesy advertising link for cash advance loans at the bottom (which I eliminated). So yeah, it’s pretty much a load of crap, but what the heckity. It’s now after midnight and now day 23 . . .

PicassoCats are surreal . . .
Back in September I wrote this post which invited people to create their own self portraits using Mr Picassohead. I then started The Picassohead Gallery to display our work, but the response wasn’t what I had hoped for.
So here is another chance to get all artsy and creative-like. To get your stuff put in the gallery just send the pic to me by email and I’ll take care of the rest.

Mmmm . . . there’s nuthin like a plump new duvet.
Almost turns needing to use one into a desirable situation. I usually experience duvet denial this time of year, forgetting to take the thing to the cleaners in time and ending up suffering through a few chilly nights before I get it back. But the other day when Nog & I were out shopping we stopped in at Corte InglΓ©s to see if there were any good deals on duvets (ours was looking decidedly unplump). And as luck would have it there was a fab 25% off special offer happening, so we made our purchase and just two days later (last night) needed to use it.
And it’s great because it’s still not really cold and, for example, I can sit here typing this in bed with a hot mug of coffee on the night table and feel quite cosy and warm, covered in cats (they love it too) and mounds of lightweight pillowy softness. But next month needing the duvet will become a less pleasant, more needy, experience.
But why think about that now? Indeed, ‘carping the diem’ is becoming more and more frequent here at casa az.
Oh, and I had
and digestive biscuits for breakfast. π

I re-stumbled upon Stumbleupon this morning . . .
I actually signed up there last July but never got around to doing anything with it, mostly because I wasn’t keen on having another toolbar on my page. But today I had another look at it after I found a ‘referrer’ coming from there, and it looks like it could be fun. Like yeah, as if I don’t already spend too much time online. 
Anyhow, one of the first things I stumbled upon was this great web-radio thing called Musicovery … which now means that I’m going to have to attach some proper speakers to SB. But some of the music there is fab!
So I’m still quite a Stumbleupon novice. Can anyone give me any tips on how best to use it? Or even how you use it and what your experiences there have been like?
My Stumbleupon name is azaharSevilla.
