The Mother of all Toothaches

This week I have the mother of all toothaches. It just won’t go away, even though I’m overdosing on penicillin. It’s terrible how a small little thing like a tooth can hold your whole sense of physical and moral well being to ransome.

That’s my excuse anyway for not posting a lot this week.

How many of the bloggers who follow my blog use a news reader to view their favorite blogs in? I use Google reader. Its a very efficient way of keeping up to date with a large amount of blogs. Rather then having to visit each blog individually, you can view all new posts by your favourite bloggers in Google Reader itself.

If I like a post, I bookmark it. I also tag it with the label ‘post1′, if i think I might use it on my blog. This tag is quite useful, as I can generate a web page from it. The web page contains all of the posts that I have tagged as ‘post1′. Some of these I have used on my blog, but most I haven’t, mainly because I’m not organised enough to get through it all:-(

Here’s what the web page looks like

If you read a lot of blogs, I would highly recommend learning how to use a news reader like Google reader.

I spoke about Twisted Bog Oak Sculptures before. Apparently they accept commissions as well. The example above was a gift from a visiting Irish choir to their host in Malaga. Price can be as low as EUR100.

Ana Duncan Sculptures

image

For Ana Duncan sculpture is a duet between sculptor and her medium.
Over the years Duncan has assumed a seminally important role in the
Irish Woman’s Sculpture Movement. The moulded, fluid surfaces of her
work and the vibrant play of light and shadow marks her as a
contemporary of Modernism.
