I will try to add CWs here, but that will take some time.  

 

185.  I've made it! URL http://gnwmythr.blogspot.com.au/2010/12/ive-made-it.html
At the time, I genuinely thought I’d been hacked: turns out that I had mistyped my URL, and – scarily – VERY scarily – wound up at a Christian fundamentalist site instead. There’s some disturbing implications in the amount of effort that someone has gone to in order to set up such diversions – and doubly so that it went to such a site …

         This post's photo is of my palatial "office" - note the 3/4 screen that I use, as a result of the screen being closed on a crystal some years ago :) The timber is so I can finish building a table (which I have been a bit slack about). I enjoy woodwork - one of the results of trying to sail competitively on a tight budget as a kid: the shelves you can see are my work. It's a fairly confined space, and my working tools are imperfect: nevertheless, I can get things done. I consider too many people make excuses that they cannot do stuff because situations or tools are imperfect. Well, learn to improvise and make do - MAKE it work with what you have!
