Spinach melt

I had this for lunch today.

You will need:

• Bread (I used Hovis granary wholemeal)
• Frozen chopped spinach (a couple of lumps of Sainsbury's spinach was about right)
• Cheese
• Pepper
• Lea & Perrins (other Worcestershire sauces are available)

What to do:

1. Toast the bread on one side.
2. Meanwhile, microwave the spinach uncovered for a couple of minutes. No need to drain.
3. Add pepper and Lea & Perrins, and mix.
4. Spread spinach on uncooked side of bread and add cheese.
5. Toast until cheese melts.
6. Yum.

£ shops are fatal

All I went in for was some envelopes.

(It's tissue paper. And no, I don't know what I'm going to use it for. But how could I not buy it?)

The joys of freelancing

OK, sometimes I have problems with clients being unhappy with reasonable charges or contract terms. But I've never had this one!

An encouraging quote

Go, labour on, 'tis not for naught;
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee, not;
The Master praises - what are men?

Horatius Bonar

I came across this in the hymn book yesterday. It's not a hymn I know, but it's on the same page as one we often sing. Never read it before - but it was exactly what I needed to read yesterday, and God knew that.

How to make iPhone / Touchscreen gloves

Almost makes me wish I had an iPhone, just so I could do this!
Although you obviously need a friendly knitted pigeon to help.

Colour

It's amazing what a difference just changing the colours in a picture can make.

I drew this picture. 

The focus of the picture was the little girl who is not listening. Very usefully, the school has a variety of colours in their uniform, so I was able to use the colours to direct your eye.

However, I then decided I actually just wanted a general picture of children listening. Being short of time, I decided to use the same picture, but de-emphasise the not-listening little girl, so she was no longer the subject of the picture.

Tweaked a few colours, and here we are:

Of course, it would have been better if I had drawn it differently - having the bored child centre front is not ideal. :-| But it'll do.

(P.S. Please do not examine the chairs too closely. Some of them are very odd...)
