Wildlife: Kicking up a skink
Jan. 28th, 2012 01:43 pmI was happy to spot a baby skink in my bathroom this morning, but immediately discounted any chance of photographing it. They're fast little beasties.

Dad update
Jan. 6th, 2012 10:02 pmAs reported in Facebook this evening:
I'm not sure I'm up to writing a proper post about this. Dad has taken a turn for the worse and his liver is failing. We're now looking at days or weeks, but definitely not months. In other words, no-one really knows. Much depends on whether he is able to eat and drink. He is very sleepy but still himself and can hear us quite well, and managed to communicate with a few words here and there, or with hand squeezes and crooked smiles. He is still at home and surrounded by loving family

(I don't usually post here in DW, but LJ is down and I had to get this out. There may be technical difficulties. If you're reading this in LJ, a miracle has occurred, and/or it's tomorrow. Hello from the past.)

Some of you know that my Dad has been unwell for a while and that he was recently admitted to hospital for pain management and tests. With his permission I can now tell you the whole situation.

One is becoming sorely tempted
Apr. 12th, 2011 11:37 amI am a paying livejournal user, and the constant downtime is getting me down. Will I be pushed out here to dw? I've invested a lost in my flist, and have a strong attraction to the familiar in lj. All those cat photos!
I don't even know if anyone on DW will see this. Am more lonely than usual :-(

Sisters untie
Jul. 22nd, 2010 12:01 amI'm not generally inclined to cross-post to both lj and dw, so I've done it back to front. I've put this here as well because I wanted to catch as many cool feminist friends as possible with this post, because frankly I need the help.

Got one of those odd e-mails out of the blue today, asking if I would address the ACS Women's group (ACS-W) in August as a fill-in speaker. It appears I am being hoist on my own petard for insisting that such gatherings have a speaker at all, but I'm struggling to come up with a topic that will be entertaining, informative and skewed to the female demographic. I am unaccustomed to making that distinction in a speaking engagement.

Social networking overload
May. 17th, 2010 11:40 pmHello DW readers! I have a reading filter for people who only post on Dreamwidth (that is, they don't cross post to lj), but I fear I'm getting behind and missing some posts. If you post some or all content exclusively on DW, please drop a comment so I make sure I'm seeing your DW entries.
TIA

I am the same stephbg as in http://stephbg.livejournal.com
I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with this account, but I couldn't just let my username go, could I? Not after the Twitter fiasco of 2009.
