Automattic comes through !
Yesterday I sent email to our hosts, WordPress/Automattic, thus: As you can see, I was not absolutely thrilled to bits; but I did my best not to scream and stamp my foot. I hope very much that I succeeded … This-morning – in fact, about 20′ ago – I received firstfrom PayPal a notice of […]
What do you see? A mouse or a lion?

There was a King who had 1 Eye and 1 leg.. He asked all the painters to draw a beautiful portrait of him. But none of them could — how could they paint him beautifully with the defects in one eye and one leg. Eventually one of them agreed…

One other thing I’ll be doing
During my ‘sabbatical’, there’s an activitythat will commence and in which I shall very happily participate. When you follow the link, you’ll find yourself able to do what the pink rectangle indicates, and check out the range of rather marvellous things to study – MOOCs that appeal to many, many people. Certainly to me !:-) […]
Be afraid …
I signed up for Inside Story’s email newsletter a couple of days ago, and it’s just arrived in my Inbox. This story, although a week old, is hair-raising. Anyone who thinks I’m boring and OTT about the mad people who comprise TROWC need to read it. In fact, everyone needs to read it: it puts […]

Bit of difference, alright !
Here are two images I shot about ten minutes ago from the balcony, for the porpoise of checking the difference between RAW and NORMAL on the Coolpix. You saw the first one in a post yesterday, shot on RAW; while here it’s NORMAL. Admittedly, I didn’t get my timing right: I meant to take the […]

I would LOVE this ! :-)
I will not tell you what it is I’d love, because I want you to go and take a look for yourselves ! But it’s huge fun, and even though not the ultimate version (which is one of these with an additional 20 added on ! – get it ?), still pretty fine ! Plus […]
1 Day 1 World Project: 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Another wonderful post topic ! – how come I’m only just finding these ? Rhetorical: don’t bother with a smart answer.[grin] Lisa’s site is “Northwest frame of mind: at home in my corner of the world”; and her photo topic is http://nwframeofmind.com/2014/06/08/1... Well, to be accurate, that’s actually the current topic. If you follow this […]

Writing Challenge: Worlds Colliding
There’s work you and home you, café you and hospital you, friends you and strangers you. In this week’s writing challenge, tell us about a time when two or more of your “yous” ran into each other. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_wri... ******************** There are two versions of M-R, contemporaneously in permanent collision. I am not able to claimthat […]
Abbott’s international tour de farce
It now appears that every single thing I thought before the last federal election was justified: I am, I regret to have to say, entirely vindicated (as are many, many, MANY Australians). This is definitelya time when one derives zero pleasure from being a smartarse. In fact, of course, one can’t even claim to be […]
