And letters. Next time there's a rainy day when I'm not busy, I'm going to go have a read.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-33840860666387233762010-02-10T17:58:58.433-06:002010-02-10T17:58:58.433-06:00I can never read that sort of script using f for s...I can never read that sort of script using f for s without thinking of the Vicar of Dibley episode where Alice reads from the bible.<br /><br />Harlequin = Mills & Boon.Sheila @ A Postcard a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140046386364588303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-46496964284521432232010-02-10T11:20:12.299-06:002010-02-10T11:20:12.299-06:00As I don't have chinese or japanese script ena...As I don't have chinese or japanese script enabled on the computer, I failed to note it was actually a japanese spammer, not a chinese one.<br />But, spammer, you're still reported.<br />Don't come back.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-43924306375865541702010-02-10T01:27:51.110-06:002010-02-10T01:27:51.110-06:00Rita?

O...Rita? I didn't understand that. Harlequin?<br /><br />Or did you translate the chinese spammer?<br />These spammers obviously think that my blog is frequented by mandarin readers. Still, i delete them, curse them in a way that will give them a future of fear and pain, their nights stalked by demons. I think perhaps they don't read the warning to spammers in my sidebar, or maybe they don't believe it.<br />Oh. And I report them every time too.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-66023552955607969842010-02-10T00:14:55.894-06:002010-02-10T00:14:55.894-06:00I am so happy about that.

That image of warily peering at the skulking Shimpo made me laugh, you're going to have to go in after it with a pointed stick to keep it at bay until you can re-establish your pack-leader stautus. Careful though, I've heard a cornered Shimpo will leap at your throat if you drop your guard.<br /><br />I'm also impressed that you hunted the pot posts down, as I'm really bad at tagging and labelling posts. <br />Good luck, I'll check out your blog tomorrow!soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-46629284014024087402010-02-07T17:45:48.238-06:002010-02-07T17:45:48.238-06:00One thing leads to another found you through issac...One thing leads to another found you through issac button read all your pot posts very entertaining just bought my first bag of clay to pot with in 12 yrs last week, have been warily peering at my old shimpo wheel skulking in a corner of my workshop there is a stirring and a sense of the (bi)cyclic nature of things!
