Recumbent upon my sick bed

Hello.

I had hoped to be better by now, but not so much.  I'd show you a picture of me, but I am hard to see under all the pillows and blankets, empty tissue boxes and mounting halls wrappers.  So I am awake and having my chicken soup so I thought I'd check in before the official end---since I am not as sure as I was two days ago that I'll be back before the end.  Keep hoping.  I do.

Wordle.  The calligrapher in me loves it. I have been at it for several weeks now, in secret sneaking ahead.  But the one I printed out to scan in so I could show you, cause darned if I can figure out how to make the think connect to the blog, I left on my desk before I left on vacation.  There was a vacation in all this somewhere.  Anyway, wordle is loooooooootttttttts of fun.

LibraryThing.  I quick joined up and check it out a wee bit.  I think I am going to like it.  More later.

Smilebox looked like fun.  I will play with that when I get back.

To complete the circle I will say of 23 Things I have enjoyed it very much.  It has loosened me up a bit in terms of the world in the box.  A hands on experience is so much better than a theoretical one.  Like Data asking Picard if it was different actually touching the historical space vessel (when they were back in time) as apposed to just reading about it.  "Oh yes" he said.  Oh yes.  Though I do not forget that the common denominator in the box is the same as the common denominator out of it.  Being inside the box does not make you somebody and people outside it nobody.  It just means you are in the box.  I will be happy to visit you there.

Once more unto the bunk dear friends.

Oh look, there is a title place!

Oh the observant me. 



The Learned Friend for the Defense

This morning I experienced the Court of Appeal.  I got up at the ungodly hour of 6:30 am to be at work at 7:45.  Don't laugh.  I usually start work at 1 pm.  I was responsible for pushing play on the audio visual equipment at the Law College annual Moot Court (and several other buttons too, for which I was fully trained).  Three judges, three or four 'learned friends', one case twice argued.  Most interesting.  Confirms my opinion that exams should be oral.  You have got to know your stuff.

23 things. Today, having read other people's blogs I noticed titles on their posts and look how quickly I figured out how to do it.  And how to add pictures into the post!

Book repair hint.  Make sure you scrape ALL the old glue off the spine before putting on the new. 

Try this. (Let me know if it works ;-))
          1/2 cup flour
          Cold water
Add cold water to flour until mixture is as thick as cream.
Simmer and stir in saucepan for 5 minutes.

Also I have completed my second thing.*  Much more fun than the first.  Though I was a bit slow to work out the design, took me five minutes.  I am used to photoshop.  I can squish, twist, move, rotate, colour, expand, anything I want in any position.  But templates are okay.  Just need to figure out how to get around them by not putting something in slot one. That way your picture comes out next to your text and not over top of it.
*Did you know a Thing is originally a Norse meeting?  A parliment like type thing.
