Clearly I'm going through a flower stage. Probably because I have 1000s of competent flower photos.
I got up this morning, started revising, and then promptly fell asleep again. Fantastic. I have little self-discipline when it comes to sleep. But I did a practise exam paper last night, and I'm not feeling so worried. I managed to do okay really, except that they ask for a page of writing for the commentaries on extracts from the different texts, and, even when I comment on every single line, explain where it's taken from, it's significance to the overall plot, and literary features, I can only manage just over half a page. But each commentary is only worth eight marks (ridiculous, right?) and so I should be able to pick up five just by doing all of that.
My translations are still the worst part. & I happen to think the Gawain-poet just wasn't a particularly good writer (and not just because of the language). He appears to plot the whole thing out very carefully, and then at the end there's this twist with Morgan Le Faye which he only explains in seven lines, and even though that was apparently the whole point of the plot it's a bit of a lame duck and isn't used very well and appears more of an add-on, which is a bit odd seeing as the rest of it is so carefully constructed. It's a bit of a MacGuffin and is kind of irrelevant to the rest of the work.
But I can't believe it's in three days. Scary. I need to get my sleep patterns sorted, because I have to be up at 8am at the latest, and at the moment I'm sleeping at 4am and getting up at 12pm.
Oh, but, while during a revision class on Wednesday, I came across what is probably now my favourite sonnet:
What length of verse can serve brave Mopsa's good to show,
Whose virtues strange and beauties such, as no man them may know?
Thus shrewdly burdened then, how can my Muse escape?
The gods must help and precious things must serve to show her shape.
Like great god Saturn fair, and like fair Venus chaste;
As smooth as Pan, as Juno mild, like goddess Iris fast;
With Cupid she foresees, and goes god Vulcan's pace;
And for a taste of all these gifts, she borrows Momus' grace.
Her forehead jacinth-like, her cheeks of opal hue,
Her twinckling eyes bedecked with pearl, her lips of sapphire blue;
Her hair pure crapal-stone, her mouth O heav'nly wide,
Her skin like burnished gold, her hands like silver ore untried.
As for those parts unknown, which hidden sure are best,
Happy be they which will believe, and never seek the rest.
We were in fits of laughter when we read it through a second time. & yes, 'twinckling' is supposed to be spelt like that.
These are the words we were given to aid understanding:
Line 3, shrewdly: severely
Line 6, Pan: god of shepherds, known by the shaggy goat-skin that he wore
Line 6, fast: steadfast; Iris is the goddess of the rainbow
Line 7: Cupid is blind, Vulcan, lame
Line 8, Momus: a divinity noted for his censoriousness
Line 9, jacinth: a blue or yellow gem
Line 10, crapal-stone: a gem believed to be found in the head of a toad
Line 12: untried silver ore is black.
Quite like "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun", really.
But whatever our unseen poem will be I will probably suck at it. I panic when confronted with poetry. I enjoy it when I'm not being examined on it, but in exam circumstances I am likely to not understand a word of it. It's terrible.
Oh, but this is kind of like the last weekend I spend in this room. After this week's exams I'm going home until the next one, and then when I come back up a little later on I'm just coming back during the week. How strange.
And Sophie bought me a ticket to Cabaret as a birthday present. How lovely! & we're going after this week's exams as a celebration of two thirds of our exams being done with. So that's nice.
But I'd really, really like to pass.
One thing that is worrying me - we have a seen paper for our LMW exam. I've written one of the answers, but I'm ridiculously stuck on the second one. I just have the title and that's it. Scary, really. However, I just got my Dad to figure out how many marks I need in my LMW exam to pass, and it turns out I only need six marks. Wow. Glad I put the effort into the assessed essays really. Though I need an 80 on the paper to get a 1st, so I'll just take a 2.1. Unless I somehow completely balls the essay up and they fail me on principle. That wouldn't be nice.
This 14" x 16.5" mini quilt was made with one mini charm pack freebie that came in my welcome bag for QuiltCon. I bordered the quilt with a couple of leftover jelly roll strips from Moda's Best Day Ever . It reminds me of plotting a quilt on graph paper.

While investing in a property, you’ll either have to choose between a plot or flat. This can be a big dilemma as both a plot and flat have pros and cons. Investing in a plot or flat comes with their own set of benefits and challenges. A flat is the best option if you’re investing in the city area. It can yield good returns once the real estate price of the locality spikes up. A flat scores higher when compared with a plot for investment. If you’re planning to build a house for your future settlement, require freedom to resize or change the structure, then a plot is the best option for you. A flat, on the other hand, has certain limitations on the size of the construction. This presentation provides valuable information about which is the best investment option for a long-term, a plot or flat.

How much this plot of wild flowers has changed since I first photographed it. I first took photos on 5, 12 and now 26 July. It's been interesting to see how it has changed over the last 3 weeks.
-------------------------------------
The wild flower plot on the Lansdowne Estate is in full bloom and glorious to see such beautiful colour and so many flowers. There are so many different variety of coloured poppies to see, as well as lots of other flowers that I don't know the names of.

Test of my new program I'm writing for iPads and iPhones. This particular image is a radar plot of pre-programmed locations in relation to where the device thought it was (in this case the iPad simulator using cell tower location information, and hence not terribly accurate).
A discerning eye will note all sorts of errors in the plot - clearly I have a lot of debugging to do, especially with bearing calculations (I'm using the forward azimuth algorithm but apparently incorrectly).
There are lots of ugly visual details to clean up as well.
It remains difficult to get a good, properly saturated, photo of my garden plot. It's much more handsome in person.
This Grant's Gazelle, Nanger granti, was photographed in Kenya, as part of a research project utilizing motion-activated camera-traps.

I took myself for a walk today - the weather has finally been above freezing.
One of my favorite places to walk is the local cemetery. It's right alongside a small lake, and just so relaxing and scenic. I love exploring the mix of headstones, wondering about the residents both old and new...and taking pictures. I have many from over the years.
I was having fun processing today - I just received lightroom so whatever I did to this photo I did there. I didn't take real good track of my steps - I was having too much fun. I found it to be a little bit more user friendly for processing RAW photos than CS3 is - I wasn't expecting that.

This is some hand-cut rubylith that I did today for work. The plotter doesn't quite cut straight, so I used the pen to plot out the design on paper, then hand-cut the ruby with a razorblade.

These shots are at the Lowe/Beers/McQueen plot in Syracuse's Oakwood cemetery. I believe at least two of my great aunts are buried here: Cecilia Beers and Elda McQueen. I don't know the first name of Cecilia's husband. Elda's husband was Rozell McQueen. Here is a photo from Cecilia's funeral. Here is a photo of "Cecil," taken a few years before she died, at age 62.
