hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes

Looks great as always. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Lovely spring-y cover too, so to speak!

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Re: Journal 71
Given Tony's forced upgrade from xp to the very different windows 10 I think he deserves a medal for preparing a Journal for us all!!!

Re: Journal 71
Yes, I was wondering how that went and if there would be any big delays with preparing the new Journal — obviously not, so well done, Tony!pete9012S wrote:Given Tony's forced upgrade from xp to the very different windows 10 I think he deserves a medal for preparing a Journal for us all!!!

Re: Journal 71
As you may recall from a post some weeks back by Tony, he was having problems locating the font Blackletter68 which was for the title on the Journal. A few weeks ago he told me that he had managed to locate, quite by accident, the correct font and that it wasn't the one above, but one called 'Raphael'. I think once he had his new computer up and running, that seemed to be the only thing holding it all up.

Re: Journal 71
Tony has had to put in a considerable amount of extra work to get this Journal ready but it looks superb! Getting to grips with new ways of doing things isn't easy but it's a quality publication as always. Cheers, Tony!

Yes, it sounds " splendiferous"- if that's not a 'proper' word I blame the dictionary writers.
Edit- it seems that it is!

Re: Journal 71
My journal has just arrived. Now to put the kettle on and settle down for a pleasant read ... instead of doing what I should have been doing! Well, we must get our priorities right, mustn't we?
