"Comments" and "I'm Not There".

The blog page has been targetted by 'comment spammers'. Yesterday I had this comment posted (see the picture). If you look closely you will see a small line under the fullstop (period) and this indicates it is a hyperlink. When you clicked on the hyperlink a new page opened offering you free pornographic movies. I have deleted the comment and I have now changed how comments are made on to this blog page. I will be automatically emailed when a comment is posted and I will have to OK the comment going on to the blog.

"Comment Spammers" also have computer programs which scan public blog pages and automatically leave a comment with a hyperlink for people to innocently click on and follow. To stop this software, people who wish to leave a comment on this blog page will have to type in some letters to verify they are a person, rather than a software program.

Very windy outside at the moment and not hot. Again temps currently in the mid 20's. I tipped 4 mls out of the rain gauge again today. Just enough rain yesterday in three or four short sharp showers to put some rain in the gauge.

Last night we watched the movie "I'm Not There" the film based on the life of Bob Dylan. I am a huge Bob Dylan fan so I was looking forward to seeing this. This is the movie in which Cate Blanchett was nominated for an Oscar Award. She plays Bob Dylan and this really sums up the movie, a woman playing a male music icon! It is a very different movie with various actors playing someone like Bob Dylan in what was really many different stories. One character resembled Bob Dylan's childhood and youth, another character played him as a married man and took you through his marriage breakdown. Another character resembled Dylan and told the story of his trip to England when he first toured as a rock band after he gave away his folk music image. Yet another character resembled Dylan from his movie 'Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid'.

I enjoyed the music but found the movie not to be to my taste!

I bottled beer again this morning after a 10 k bike ride. It was a bit hard riding into the wind I must add!
