Mnemonic for Middle Egyptian Alphabet

The vulture from the reed leaf flew
And landed on the reed leaf two
The arm which reached the quail chick's foot
Then reached a stool and on it put
A horned viper!
The owl above the water swooped
It's mouth as an enclosure drooped
And dropped the rope - a big descenta!
Upon the floating there placenta.
Animal bellies and bolts of doors
And folded cloth may be in stores
But pools and hills and basket lands
Are seldom far from old jar-stands.
A loaf of bread is not a hobble
A hand can't make a cobra bobble!

Time (Again)

I shall have to be careful about when I post. I have no idea why my computer clock says 10:00 and the post is recorded at 9:59.

I am also trying to figure out the ins and outs of blogger - how to keep the font the same, add photos, post properly. I am certainly learning a lot.

The hard way as usual :)

Its okay if you're a minute or two early or late. Well, its okay with the Blogathon folks - might not be okay with you, since you're a virgo. :D

I can see it now, all of Shelley's posts precisely 30 minutes apart, to the millisecond.

Me, I'm happy just to get within 15 minutes of the mark.
