Bother – the good people of Argeweb decided to migrate my site to another cluster. I take this to mean that they want to move my stuff to another computer, and it was not a notice to gladden my heart. They had problems right off and my backup brain was offline twice!! which is not […]

Photographing Charles Bridge is not an easy thing to do – it is sooo crowded any time of day and night. Two solutions presented themselves. One – image from a distance, with a lot of sky (first image below). Two: over the heads of the fellow tourists (second and third image below). I like it […]

Did I mention being on holiday? Well, I am. We’re spending one week in the mountains south of Lake Geneva, in a chalet with a world-class view over the mountain range toward said lake. Swimming, walking, sight-seeing (Mont Blanc, stunning!), reading, eating good food and sleeping a minimum of 10 hours a night. Must have […]

This is a Utrecht canal, where I happened to be boating with friends and where the ducks were kind enough to line up in a row. “Having one’s ducks in a row” expressing ‘being well prepared”, and ‘well prepared’ being my middle name, I looked into the origin of the expression. Found a world of […]
