GMT is observed during the winter months and BST is observed during the summer months. For more information about time-keeping in the UK, please click here. It uses RST (UTC+1 or UTC+2 in summer) when I am blogging from Spain. External links - Postings in this weblog often include links to external websites.

Visit stats it's better not to talk about in too much detail ...
... I wrote a brief post earlier today about a delayed exit visa from Cuba for a critic of the regime there, who is a blogger, and who has been unable to travel to Madrid to collect a prize given for her blog-writing. Already I notice in my blog stats a couple of visits from Cuba, but I won't identify who the visitors' [servers] are, just in case anyone from the island's state security apparatus ever stumbles on my little blog and decides to query with my visitors why they chose to visit the blog of a renegade capitalist running-dog such as me. On the other hand if anyone 'official' from Cuba does ever visit here then can I just say to them:
When are you going to introduce proper democracy and accountability into your corrupt and inefficient socialist system of government?
