And this is a test.
I do wonder if it works. As I've just said in Twitter, I've been listening to Catrin on Radio Cymru, being interviewed about a paper she was giving at a conference here. Well, it turns out she was lectured on the general subject of probate... |

cake!
and, of course, cake. |

eek
And here's the Great Cthulhu and a little demon. Update: It seems this particular Cthulhu is called Emlyn. And the demon is Alf. Update update: I sit corrected once again. The little Cthulhoid chap is Alf, the demon is Emlyn. She's quite right, there's something Emlynesque about him. |

Catrin's birthday handbag, made by Susan. It's very Catrin. |

Some news about Catrin (which I tweeted on the right a little while ago): Dr Catrin Fflûr Huws has been appointed Director of the Centre for Welsh Legal Affairs (CWLA) at Aberystwyth University. Dr Huws succeeds Ann Sherlock, whose work has been so important in establishing this important and innovative body, the only one of its kind. |

Catrin's new hair
Sorry to keep posting pictures of my wife... well, not really. Those of a photographic bent will notice the absurdly shallow depth of field with an f1.4 lens. Those less geeky will be going "ooh, look at her hair." |

All very testy-testy at the moment. Please mail any problems to me at jim spot finnis monkey-with-tail gmail spot com. Hah, let's see the email scrapers decipher that.
Hmm - that's a sentence whose meaning is changed completely if you don't realise that lame is in the French way not the English way.
This was me trying to look like Amanda Palmer. I now realise I looked more like Tara Palmer Tompkinson. The reality check is always the one that bounces all the way to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation isn't it.
Anything in this case being a tailor's mannequin made out of a Catrin, a tee shirt, and two rolls of gaffa tape. I just hope it's not voodoo if you stick pins into effigies of yourself.
According to Google, it's a stencil thing for doing eyebrows. The only options are thin, medium or thick. Naturally, I'd want it to include "Option 4: Eyebrows A La Amanda Palmer. Except of course, if I were to do that, just at the point when I am applying the makeup, my brain would start playing the Victoria Wood monologue where she paints one really high up and the other really low down. "Now I look like a person who's had a pint spilt over them and they can't quite remember what to do about it". Hilarity would ensue, I would look like a div, and like Victoria Wood, would end up wearing a big brown raincoat and a picnic rug and a pair of knickers on my head.
Red Dead Hand. Great name for a kid.
Absolutely fantastic gig - I had such a such a such a good time. People do look at me funny though when I explain perfectly reasonably that I went to see a bloke and a woman being a pair of conjoined twins. Do other people not do that then?
they won't let e write it` 'yS, i like 'a man
Blimey it looks bare in the winter. I'm off to listen to some Chumbawamba unless Jubilee's on.
...unless the program is written in FORTRAN IV, as that doesn't do lists/characters.
come visit some time; i have a very pubby pub :-) i also like the "abandon" button, above. we need more abandon.
Look, explaining the finer points of Land Registration requires some visual aids ok.
Isn't that a hotel chain?
Ooh, pretty picture. I couldn't work out for a while which side of the river it was.
Of course, but *read it again* They're not reserving the right to REFUSE to serve, they're reserving the right to SERVE.
That's completely legal. Any trading establishment can refuse to serve any customer without giving a reason. It's generally considered bad for the trader's reputation as a good place to do business, but they do have that option.
My God! I look like an advert for Werthers Original.
You're not planning on dying of E Coli are you?
Ah, but I don't think the installer could have reasonably foreseen that particular injury...
And clearly displaying better workmanship than the oaf who installed the thing in the first place - it needing to be replaced because it came apart in my hand. I could have been seriously injured...if the light pull had hit me in the eye, causing me to flail around blindly, then fall down the stairs and impale myself on a coathook.
Would you act in "The Wicker Man?" Edward Woodward would.
I had the same petit four at that same restaurant in Edinburgh just yesterday - it was fantastic. We has the deep fried mars bars alongside. Superb.

It's actually going to be reviewed in a proper academic journal and everything. Well not actually everything, just a proper academic journal, but I think that's extremely exciting. It says so on the internet, it must be true.
