Well, the website is UP and looks pretty darned good – even if I do say so myself!

Have a look and tell me what you think. (Drum roll, please.)

Ta da!

I have spent the better part of the last week wrestling with it while enduring the related experiential learning and on-the-job training. I think I may have sworn quite a bit too.

As a direct result of this adventure within the labyrinth of website building, I intend to spend tomorrow pickling apples.

I’m sure you understand.

Besides, it will help me to reacquaint myself with the room I refer to as my kitchen … I hope.

I seem to remember having one, I just can’t remember the way to get there or what colour it is painted. This must change. Soon.

I get my best ideas while cooking.

My intention is to start posting regularly now that the website situation is fairly stable. And a few things have caught my eye over the last week.

There has been quite a bit of chatter here in the wonderful land of Oz about high school students being able to graduate while functionally illiterate; and someone in the UK is suggesting that spelling variants should be accepted for the sake of keeping the peace. <insert horrified gasp here>

No doubt I’ll find something to say about both those things and others.

In the meantime, here’s a sneak preview of my next “Perils of spellcheck” page to be published.

One of my editing colleagues was booking accommodation on-line recently and came across an hotel that offered panoramic views of the horizon for their guests’ “atheistic pleasure.”

We think they may have meant asthetic pleasure, but Heaven only knows!
