<HTML>Looks like we were both fixing it at the same time, so both the bottom two links work.
Y'know, sometimes I wish you could see who else was responding to the same thread you're typing a response to.
You could always practice typing by going to www.popcap.com and playing "Word Shark", which they describe as "typing tutor with teeth".
I like the Bookworm game myself, except it doesn't recognize words of 9 or more letters (I have a friend who hates me for having figured that out), and obviously uses an American dictionary (and despite being from the States, I occassionally tried to use words or spellings that aren't in common use here, but are in other English speaking countries - what can I say, I read a lot).
<HTML>Dave, the pics look great! What a fantastic church! We don't have lovely old churches like that here. We do have some old churches, but they're mostly old wood siding with wood beams inside. Nothing semi-fancy like that. Makes me jealous! And then there's the countryside...<sigh>
It's beautiful here, too, just very different. Although, I think Northern Virginia's rolling foothills are about as close as you can get to some of that English countryside. (Virginia's motto is "Virginia is for Lovers" LOL) It's just a LOT warmer here!
But anyway, it looks like a lovely time was had by all. Congrats again. (Oh and Eddie looked delicious as usual! He's so cute!)</HTML>
<HTML>It's a lovely old church - Kate's parents hosted the reception too - their house dates back to the 1540 too. It was a great day, really nice to see so many people just chilling and enjoying themselves!</HTML>
<HTML>Can I just say that I'm not as scared of Eddie as it would appear from the photo.
It is scary that he's better than me on the piano already. He has an interesting
climbing on the piano stool / keys technique for reaching the high notes.
Under-employed by professional pianists I feel...</HTML>
