Thanks, everyone! davidd, I have trouble typing on it too, so I use the dictation and try to speak clearly. It usually requires some correction, and sometimes it repeats a sentence twice, but it’s better than trying to type all the text. Oh, and sometimes it will change a word from right to wrong and back three or four times after I’ve gone past it! And then there’s a time limit on how long the microphone stays active, so I have to keep restarting it… It makes you mindful of your punctuation and how you speak. Also I zoom the screen so I can see all the errors.
Lejays, it’s considered a “float”. The swirly parts are made by dipping the hot glass in crushed coloured glass, reheating, and then pulling a hooked tool across the surface before it cools. It’s all not as easy as they make it look. And I am amazed at how they can make such tiny things like you mentioned, davidd. Somehow I have to get two tiny tiny swans on a slice of rock home without breaking them. My carry-on is full of breakables!
Sunsette is letting me use this photo for the pic-a-week, because we have two travel days coming up and I might not get one done otherwise. Here are the girls chillin’ in our Victoria Airbnb… We have a stupid-early start tomorrow and a very long day of traveling.
