The task of preparing material for the revision of this web-site is well under way, but I had not anticipated the labour it would involve. I have been through the existing “galleries” identifying old material I want to eliminate. Then I have constructed an elaborate table in which I record, gallery by gallery, the items … Read more
Over the past two days I have become even more convinced than I always have been of the potential of contemporary technology actually to suffer from insanity. At last I have begun to make serious progress with the preparation of material for the revision of this website. I congratulated myself on having devised a routine … Read more
I had no idea, when I launched the current revision process for this website, just what a task it would turn out to be. As it happens, revising the text has not been too difficult a process. The real effort is in the illustrations. Of course, I have to take on the updating of these. … Read more
Yes: that’s the one! He was the one who had to keep rolling a boulder up the hill eternally. I was thinking about him today as I worked on the revision of my web-site. This task is long overdue, largely because of the amount of labour I knew it would involve. Now I have grasped … Read more

No, I’m not referring to today’s announcement by the Prime Minister of the date of a general election. What I have in mind is my decision today to commit myself to the wholesale revision of my web-site. I had a very useful meeting with a young woman who has been able to show me work … Read more
It is interesting how the lack of progress on a particular task can leave a sense of a general failure to move forward in life. When that blockage is removed everything seems to loosen up. This seems to be my condition at the moment. On the domestic front we have been promising ourselves to get … Read more
Towards the end of last year I began to think about the revision of this web-site. At that time I decided that the feature entitled “Picture of the Month” should probably go …. largely because I had become insufficiently efficient to actually put up a new entry every month.
