Ahh, I'd assumed it was one piece rather than two smaller ones. In that case, my comment on the transition is moot.

Meh on girlie facts. I'd much rather teach my spawnlings minor facts on a broad range of things rather than gender specifics ones. It'll benefit them more in the long run, so I tend to think you're on the right track with teaching your girlie about steam engines and whatnots. Who knows where that knowledge could one day lead her.

Joanna, it's alright with me if, now and again, you get up on your high horse to help promote work you enjoy because you've shown you're just as willing to get out of the saddle, too.

"Interested to read about your tadpoles, are they a native N.Z. species or imported from Europe like Truffle? Surprised to learn that botulism and undersea worms are sentient. I always thought that undersea worms and priests had something in common, or is it just a typo? "
- Olly wrote

Thanks Olly,
The tadpoles turn into whistling tree frogs and come from Auzzie originally however fairly common around NZ now but are not endemic to here. As for sentient - I refer to the worms ability to live in an odd undersea world which ofcourse is the very opposite to sentient and so possibly the wrong word. You lost me about the priests?

As for what people write about I should think one could write about anything from green onions to witches and vampires. It just gets pretty uninteresting when everyone else is doing the same unless what they have to say is original and attention grabbing.

I think sentient is self aware or capable of having feelings
Your typo made the worms shrive in that environment instead of thrive, I got a lovely picture of them lining up to confess, bet those frogs whistle, Aussies are so literal in their name giving, the barrier reef, the coastal plain, the snowy mountains, the red interior, Baron tells me you can use the qote button in the corner to save yourself typing things out again, that's when it comes up in a blue panel, Have't made it work yet but I'm old and computer illiterate. just noticed the number of your posts and joining date, welcome in, Im flattered to be one of the first, except it has to be chance.

Thanks Olly, I find laptops not so conducive to typing as PC's simply because they're, well, flat. Perhaps they should have been called flat tops rather than laptops.
See what you mean about shriving. Bit like qote and quote. Never mind, the message went through and I found your entry by chance because I normally try out for the novel or s/s department but am getting a bit frustrated in that area.
We have been warned about the frogs but after a cold and wet winter I'm looking forward to some balmy tropical island background whistling.
Cheers
