Machinery

I've always been a bit of a Luddite, deep down, and I am having a severely Luddite moment. Why, when they give me a gadget to do it all automatically, is it so difficult to embed a slideshow from Flickr? I have my set all ready to go, and I have put my user name into the widget, but...those pictures are not mine. My photos feature cacti and mountains, sunsets and le jardin. If anybody spots my stray photos, give a shout!

Grumble, grumble, grumble. I have stayed up late, trying to fix this, but now I am going to bed. In high dudgeon.

In truth, using that idiom makes me slightly more cheerful because it gives me a nice bit of language history to ponder. Not that I have much energy for pondering; I only ran ten miles this morning, but I am exhausted. And so I will droop off to bed.
