The translation:

Homosexuality exists in 450 species of animals.
Homophobia in 2: a spider that lives at the Equator, and some idiots (*) who live in the Middle Ages.

Quite succinct, I feel.

(*) a politer word has been substituted for the original here.

Having spent most of my working life in what is now known as the IT industry, I am pretty familiar with the concept of logic.

What I am at a loss to understand is the logic behind the on-line petition that Caitlyn now has to return her Olympic medal.

Maybe all those so upset are worried that it might show that a woman beat men IN A MEN'S CLASSIFICATION

But seriously, why on Earth would there even be a thought that Caitlyn should return it?

Hi all,

Penny's latest (#126) mentioned two maps, so I have drawn them and posted them in the Map Repository.

I simply don't have the time to make them all 'Palarandi', so I hope their modernity doesn't distract from the 'atmosphere'.
They do have lots of swishy colours!

They are numbers 3 and 12 in the list (currently).

Feedback is always welcome.

Cheers

Di.

to all of you have been so generous with your time to read my Einnlander tale, and to those few of you who took that extra time to comment.

Of course, I need to mention that I am overwhelmed by the generosity of Kudos.

Please be aware that this would not have come to light had it not been for the patient assistance of Penny herself, so she should carry much of the credit.

I think I shall retire for a while back to the Anmarian map world ---- :-)

There was a comment on the latest excellent episode of "Somewhere Else Entirely" that asked about some maps, or, more exactly, where somewhere was on the map.

Hi all,

An eagle-eyed reader spotted an awkwardness in the previously published distance chart for the Bray/Palar valley.

Hi everyone

Despite my ever-increasing middle age, today I learnt something new.

I was doing some research for Julia's planned #13 when the phone rang.

Way back at the beginning of July (shock! horror! --- THAT long ago!) I posted the quote "New (and Final)" endquote map.

I lied.

Just a schematic of Blackstone Town Main Street.

er .... what happened while I was being attacked by my pillow?

My 'story' was there on the main page and now it's not.

I set up a 'story' to deal with the maps I have created for S E E

Hi all,

I am going soon to be in a position to post something in connection with another author's works.

... in their "New: Playhouse Presents...." at 9 p.m. UK time, next Thursday, 16th May 2013, Sky Arts 1, there is a 30-minute play about TVs.

Their blurb reads:

I traced this via a few friends connections on Facebook.
