Thanks to my lovely library, who are doing this free internet access thingy, I can now re-join the wonderful world of h2g2. I'll be on as often as I can, and look forward to catching up with all my fab friends. I've missed you!

Changing Skins
Posted Sep 22, 2002
Since coming to h2g2 I stuck devotedly to Alabaster, mainly because I hadn't dicovered the posting list and couldn't be bothered to scroll all the way down the page to get my messages. But I was always very good, if another researcher preferred their personal page to be viewed in Classic Goo (Brunel doesn't appear to have caught on so well) I always duly changed over.
While viewing Greebo.T.Cat's page yesterday, who asks you to do this, I discovered that smileys are so much clearer in Goo. Bizarrely, so are the pearlies at the top of my page. It is with this in mind that i change my preferences to Goo and watch with interest to see how i will cope.
One small note: I tried Brunel when it first came out and was delighted to see the clickable smileys box. Why didn't they build this feature into all the skins. We need it!

What a lovely way to pass the time.
Posted Aug 14, 2002
Thought it was about time I updated my journal. Don't know if there's going to be anything of use in it mind you, and Catwoman will probably come along and post a reply to this, meaning that I have yet another conversation to keep track of. Mind you, it means my Friendly Fellow Researchers list is looking impressive (although not quite up to the standards of Ormonroyds, who is fantastic and who I managed to meet here! He popped into the peer review thread for my Home Education entry, soon appearing in the edited guide! Yippee!!! He is also one of the many visitors to the H2G2 Japanese Maple since it sprouted under my careful gardening three weeks ago. Thankyou to everyone who have gone and watered it with their kind and calming words. Unfortuantely Ohming is banned because it makes a bit of a racket so if you want to meditate in a more religious way you'll have to visit the Temple of Existentialism built by (funnily enough) Existential Elevator. I might get round to putting a link to it on my page, but there's one on the Maple page so......
Having now put one baby through the daunting peer review and emerged virtually unscathed, I'm trying to think up another subject. I used to collect Lilliput Lane cottages so I might do that, on the other hand I could live up to my name and write one on patchwork (there's bound to be one aspect they haven't covered), or there's my old idea of writing a book review on The Green Mile. Although having just gotten Catwoman reading Divine Secrets perhaps we could do that one. Then there's Cripple Mr Onion still to be written, but EE's being cynical and lazy
!
Probably ought to come off now and do some work in the real world, unless of course Queex has decided to reply......a woman's work is never done hey girls!

Off to Paris in a week!
Posted Jun 27, 2002
Fantastic, except it means I won't be able to go on here
.
To celebrate, here's my top 5 places to go in Paris:
1. The Stravinsky Fountain in Place Igor Stravinsky. It's near the Centre Pompidou and very wacky. The sculptress, Nikki de Saint Phalle, has a fantastic sculpture park in Italy that I'm longing to go to.
2. Sainte Chapelle. The prettiest church in Paris, downstairs looks breathtaking until you see upstairs...a must for anyone.
3.Ile de la Cite and Ile St Louis. Quaint little islands in the middle of the Seine with lovely little shops.
4.Galeries Lafayette. This famous department store has a breathtaking Belle Epoque stained glass dome. Well worth craning your neck for!
5. The metro. Some of the stations have really gone to town on the decor. Recommended, the Bastille, Louvre and Tuilleries. Someone needs to compile a book.
Is there anywhere you think would be good? Tell me here.
