  Within The Spicy Cauldron, mix poetry and prose in equal measure. Stick everything into a blender for five minutes. Stir gently with a wooden spoon, then pour slowly into tall glasses with crushed ice. No cherries. Let the drink speak for itself.

Earth Hour

Earth Hour starts in Sydney, Australia, at 20.00 (0900GMT) today. Lights will be turned off for an hour to highlight the threat of climate change.  Other participants around the world including London, Chicago, and Bangkok, will follow suit when their clocks reach 20.00 local time.

Despite being a keen news-hawk, I’ve only just found out about this, although apparently Google will be marking the day by putting a dark background on its home page. That’s nice.

My MacBook Pro came back from repair having suffered a 'logic board failure'. I don't know what that is, but it sounds serious and ghastly. Thanks to the wonderful Migration Assistant in OS X, it took me all of half an hour to get my applications, email, settings and documents back onto the machine via a FireWire link-up with the iMac. Windows was never easy in that regard.
