Roll call

Alan’s blogpost ps about words brought to mind an entertaining diversion we indulged in at orchestra rehearsal one night.

The conductor raised his baton and we suddenly realised that crucial players had still to come back from washing up the tea cups.So we noted an an absence of bassoons...and while we waited, began devising group names for some of our comrades-at-arms. Those I can remember were:

an arrogance of first violins

a fluster of second violins

an enclosure of violas

an ostentation of cellos

a struggle of double basses

an outcry of oboes

What I wonder is the group name for Bloggers? Quite a few blogs consider this. This blog list of other collective nouns and also suggests a” of bloggers. And this one has assembled many suggestions including a "roll"

Maybe though it should be a solitude of bloggers reflecting the individual and yet communal nature of blogging?

Thinking on holiday

On holiday, I realised that the Curriculum for Excellence isn't going to be like this:











(That's Moses getting the ten commandments)

But more like this:







Perhaps ending up like this?











Who knows where I was on holiday?

Too much Glow

Some people whose blogs I read have embedded the absolutely excellent Glow Games in a post.

Is it just me being a grumpy old woman or is the muzak very very annoying? I could mute my speakers but if I want to view a video clip they've inserted in another post, I can't hear anything above the Glowing chanting.

I notice Andrew, being the first that I saw to put it up, now just has a link. Ahhh...peace....
