I haven’t worked on the few websites I “own” in a while. However, I missed the regular writing of posts. I missed the struggle and positive resolution of “outwitting” WordPress. I missed feeling “young” again. Enter “Life is What Happens.” Coding, manipulating files, understanding techspeak and successfully creating an interface that works give me Joy. […]
OK, I’ve said it. It is the first time and maybe the last. If I want to stay in Canada and not follow my wildest dream of selling up and moving to Spain (without Spanish) I have to start enjoying Winter. For the last month my walking paths have been glazed – more like iced
…..our word today is “scale.” It’s a word that my writing partner has chosen for our writing challenge. Well, this, for me, will be a challenge indeed. Yes, it’s a simple word, but the scale, that physical measuring device, was the single most import element in my life from March 2020 to October 2021. It

I can’t believe I haven’t written since late September. Well, on the other hand, maybe I can. I have had to face certain significant challenges between late September and late December. I will start at the end and work backwards – always the cart before the horse – I need to rein things in. 🙂

In fact, I’ve had several websites over the years, when products were just listed for viewing and shopping carts weren’t a necessity. I actually built a few of these sites, myself, using
Our writing word for today is “passage.” I always think of passage as a very grand word. It reminds me of long journeys by sea to distant lands. Wealthy people booked passages on steamships to the Orient. Or they took exotic train journeys, rail passages, to Istanbul. The poor took passages too. Their journeys, though,
Another word for the writing challenge is “fusion” – the joining of two or more things to create a third. I couldn’t help playing with this word, by fusing it with other words, OK, prefixes. Hence, from fusion, we can make – confusion, diffusion, suffusion, effusion, affusion. It’s an interesting way of increasing one’s vocabulary
Really to get through winter, in Canada, you have to celebrate the activities that work best in winter. So you ski, skate, snowshoe, make snowmen, take snow pictures….and cook slow food. Last winter I invested in one of those enamel cast-iron Dutch Ovens. I bought one of the cheaper knock-off brands – $50.00 not $350.00.
