Yep, I’m moving the furniture around again. New posts and photographs are coming but for now I’m just playing with a new theme. I’ve been wanting a single column blog for awhile now, I just hate the messiness of sidebars. Hopefully this theme will be a little less clunky to load, I’m showing fewer posts so there are less photos to load everytime. I’m still toying with the idea of only having one post show so it’s more like a traditional photoblog…not completely decided on that one yet.

Why is it whenever I sit down to do a couple of small tweaks on my site I end up getting engrossed and before I know it it’s 2:30 in the morning?

Yesterday Mary Harney announced the decision to halt the provision of the HPV vaccination to girls aged 12 years, a reversal of a decision made last August. This vaccine has the potential to prevent cervical cancer. I believe this is a mistake and this morning a listener on the Ray D’Arcy show suggested a way to let Mary Harney know what we thought: what if we all sent emails to the Minister with photos of their daughters expressing our dismay over this decision to deny these girls a vaccine which may prevent them getting cervical cancer in later years?

The Ray D’Arcy show has a link where you can send an email directly and it will only take a second. You can do it here: Today FM. Or if you’d like to send a photo of your daughter, the address is minister’s_office@health.irlgov.ie
