MS WORD 2007

Isn't it amazing when you make discoveries that everyone else already seems to know about?

I have just found out that I can write and post blogs from my MS Word. Never having had MS Word

prior to my new machine it's not surprising I'm a bit of a dummy about it. So this is my first trial post.

Summer spendour speaks to us in all sorts of ways. This first picture is almost 3D but has not been 'Photoshopped' other than for size reduction.

Midsummer Moon

The above photo was taken at around 01-10 am on Midsummer day. A full moon is rising in an almost clear sky.

You can see something of the importance of Midsummer celebrations (generally ranked as the most important of the year here in Sweden) by going here

Red Face

It can still cause problems. Well, I spent the greater part of my life on the left not on the right. I met my wife essentially because I stood on the wrong side of the road for the bus.

So I go into Bog Cottage and end up with Sharp Nude, whereas I really needed to have gone T17 through the King's Garden into T19 via Big Bog to get to Clog Mountain. Of course, the King's Garden has everything so I could have gone to Raspberry Mountain, or raised my voice at Shout Stone. If I was that interested in cars (about from continually giving first aid to the Espace - worst car I've ever bought) I could turn my attention to Wheeltown or enjoy the highly pleasurable company of Mary Market or Lily Island.
But there I embarrassingly was with Sharp Nude and all because my brain was hotwired for the left not the right.
