Actually there are some practical reasons.  Although I originally chose the last theme for the spring-like feel of the photo, the lambs are probably now cutlets, and I always found the ewe a bit menacing!  The overall feel of the theme was a bit &#8216;heavy&#8217; and the sidebar was filling up so much that you had to scroll a long way down to see all of it.  So, a new &#8216;lighter&#8217; theme, with a format in three columns.  (Although as the columns are narrower, the right hand sidebar still goes down a long way &#8211; room for a bit more tinkering!)<\/p>\n<p>I have tested this with IE, and it seems to be OK, but as always, I think that Firefox or Opera are better alternatives (and still better than IE7, which although &#8211; at last &#8211; has introduced tabbed browsing pages, still feels a bit clunky).  You can download Firefox (it is free) and\/or Opera from the link on the right hand bar.  Try both &#8211; they co-exist quite happily!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.boraston.net\/blog\/images\/Olivia_BBQ_t.jpg\" alt=\"BBQ\" align='left'\/>Yesterday saw an expeditionary mission into the long neglected garden.  Apart from a fine crop of thistles, it looks pretty run down, however a bit of gentle weeding and a scalping with the lawn mower got it looking a bit better.  However there is some way to go!  I found that digging a hole to plant a tree wore me out.  I might manage to plant some seeds though!<\/p>\n<p>Last night we went for a BBQ at Olivia&#8217;s (!).
