I'm in "construct" mode... just as well DH is a largely self sufficient and reliable person and can fend for himself - the cats of course are another matter and seem hellbent on parading through the Studio continuously to voice their displeasure at being so neglected.
I feel that I have conquered a milestone, being able to record video, work on my tablet and type - with one cat on my lap and another sharing the seat behind my derriere! Either that or I can be the founding member for Contortionists United!
In other "news"... I think I am going to have to give up my 15 year old love affair with my email address. What started off as a numerical identifier with Compuserve (back in the dark ages) and morphed into my "paperarzi" at cs dot com is now becoming more of a headache than I can bear.
Years ago Compuserve was handed over to AOL via various corporate mergers and is now a 'defunct' object, serviced limitedly at best by AOL.
Today when trying to send email messages and getting various error responses I tried all methods to rectify the problem before it dawned on me (yes, rather belatedly) that it was a server issue and not my software. Sadly this has becoming a recurring problem and one that I can't live with..... so if you see mail in your box from marie@lostaussie.com then it's ME!
The transition will not be a quick one, as you well know, there are all sorts of places, accounts and settings that need to be changed.......... I can't even bear to think about it..... anyway, just don't dump me in your Spam folder - Please! For a while I shall be a Lilly gilded with several names!
Beautiful flower photo!!! Yup - I too know the drill with cats - although my 19 year old is not content to sit in my lap - she wants to lay her head on my shoulder and be cradled in my arms.....
Love your dress from the next post too BTW - love teal also!!

Hi Marie- you'll never be in my spam folder. :)
HDR photo? Nice effect either way.

Ah, CompuServe. I remember it well. I had a similar experience with a local ISP and an email address. They were bought out by bigger guns and I eventually had to drop that email address due to lack of support. No worries, you won't end up as spam at my end :-)

LoVe this photo! Did you pain the lily or is it a digital effect? The center stems look like jewelry. **blows kisses** Deb

AH! I was going to call you today, but perhaps another day is better! I should not take priority over the DH or even the cats! (but I must be at least third)
You are doing great things. Your class starts...tomorrow? Rock on.
marie@lostaussie.com? Does this mean I should disable marie@contortionists.ltd in my address book?
