Hello, Hil and Art!

This post is especially for you. I met Josh and Ashley the other week while keeping healthy thoughts in mind at Grassroots Market in Five Points. We discussed some of the old WSJ people and, of course, you were included.

What a beautiful baby you have! Well, maybe not a baby now, a little boy I should have said. And what a talented Mum to make such wonderful cakes. Hil, you never used to do that!!

This blog was done as part of our library training courses. I think the idea is that we should be able to help the customers and also be able to understand what they are talking about. No more languishing in the 20th century—into the 21st and enjoy it! That explains why it has so much in it about things rather than about me. Not that I am doing much. Working part-time in the Main Library (nothing remotely like WSP) and occasionally teaching English in Orange Park, in between my major tasks of taking care of two dogs and one cat.

Maybe more at a later date. Bye for now.

JaxCat and LibraryThing


OK, that was an easy one! I think I got the JaxCat right, although I have not checked it to see if it actually works.

The LibraryThing was easy, too. I picked five books, as instructed. Two of them I have waiting for me, but the other three have been read. It reminds me of the tee shirts that were around a little while ago: "So many books and so little time."

The hard part will be getting a link to my library, so let me go explore that, and I shall come back.

OK. I am back and here it is: My library!

Now for the picture generator game. Very good fun, indeed. As you can see, I created a poster for the class I will be teaching for the next 10 weeks. I shall keep you informed of the progress of my students and, of course, my gradual decline into insanity when I find out they can't tell a noun from a verb.

Supposedly the JaxCat is on the page, so let us go and have a squint at it.

No sign of it, although there are a couple of crossed spanners or something, so click on the top one and the coding for the gadget will appear to show that I tried.
Yes, I did, I really did!

(Added later) I did get it there, but you may have to hit the refresh button to see it. I tried to resize it following the instructions, but it did not work.
