Do you know the meaning of the expression "to get cold feet"? Could you find an example where this expression is used?

Some of you seem to appreciate the idea of having a blog. However, I haven't seen (or heard) much of your comments yet...(Still waiting...).

Today we celebrate the World Book Day, or as we call it in Spain, the Day of the Book. It could be an excellent opportunity to recieve your first comments. You could tell us about your favourite books, or some of the ones you've been reading recently. If you know any interesting web page or link, I'd also be pleased to hear about it.

Take care...and hope to hear from you soon...
