Aaaaaah I'm an idiot. I've been puzzled for ages by the fact that the rich text editor seemed to have disappeared, but I just realised that NoScript was blocking part of the update page. Iiiiiidiot.
Not that I have anything important to post. I am currently:
a) waiting for the Australia/England Twenty20 match to start in England. My household doesn't have pay TV, so I have to follow the ball-by-ball text commentary on cricinfo, eheu. Well, it's charming in its own way.
b) reading my way through the online stories for the Cambridge Latin Course, in an effort to improve the speed of my reading comprehension. I'm learning some neat vocab, too. Furcifer! Pestis! Fur! But I'm a little baffled by the level of violence - a disproportionate percentage of the stories seem to involve people being brutally murdered.
c) drinking Earl Grey tea. With neither milk nor sugar - I've never taken milk in my tea, because I don't like the texture, but I used to take two sugars. I quit a few weeks ago, and at first I craved really sweet tea every night, but that's pretty much history. Hurrah! My teeth will thank me, and as a reward I'll buy myself some China Keemun and Darjeeling and replace my finished stock of Russian Caravan, which I miss. Other possibilities: Monks and rooibos.
But, I confess, I have some Turkish Apple instant tea (is it even a real tea? I doubt it), which comes with premixed sugar, and I still drink that, and it is delicious. 'Nature identical apple flavour', mmm.
EDIT: No, wait, I've got radio commentary through the BBC site. Three cheers for the internet! And what's up with Australia's ridiculously poor luck? They've called the coin toss wrong in, what, six out of the last eight matches?
