2007 — 25 Apr: History in the re-making
Having been ticked off for showing a water-skiing Oriana in yesterday's entry I have spent the bulk of the morning (so far) adjusting reality. Who said the camera doesn't lie? And the 2.8 degrees counterclockwise result is now available at a web page adjacent to this one. Mind you, I had to clip off the top to hide the weird beige/orange backdrop that Photoshop Elements decided I wanted to show, and — having passed my copy of the "Fix-it" book over to Big Bro — I have no idea how to paint that bit out.

Another long-delayed round tuit shuffled nonchalantly into reach today. The result is a fully assembled "Tri-Truk" trolley — thanks again, ex-colleagues, it's just what She ordered, and has already been put to work (by me) shifting the milkman's overnight delivery of garden compost sacks. Not something we ever got from our previous milkman, by the way.
