Thank you very much.<BR/><BR/>I should have thought that this is partially a template issue; I am constrained by the template I am using. I will play around with this and see what I get.<BR/><BR/>Thank you very much for your trouble and attention to help me with this issue. I very much appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>Dear Barbara<BR/><BR/>I hear you on those choices, but I am a sucker for the 3 day creme brulée I make (it takes 3 days to make), and both pecan pie et une bombe de chocolate make me salivate... Actually, there are many desserts that I willing spend time with. Its too bad that they all have the pernicious habit of shrinking my pants when I am not looking.<BR/><BR/>Dear Archavist<BR/><BR/>Diets are meant to be ruined; [Oh frabjous day!] there is always oats boiled in milk for breakfast [Callooh! Callay!] with a big mug of tea, especially in Wales, as preparation (penance?) for the evening caloric splurge. [He chortled in his joy.]<BR/><BR/>Dear GigiHawaii<BR/><BR/>There many good reasons to visit Hong Kong including hikes like the one you did as a university girl with sandals are common here and there is much fine food. The locals also enjoy shopping; that is their national sport but not my cup of tea or square of chocolate.<BR/><BR/>Tschuess all,<BR/>ChrisSepiru Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600130405222535830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-34712054388343479622009-01-22T03:59:00.000+08:002009-01-22T03:59:00.000+08:00Wow, the food looks so delicious!

To get wider pictures you need first of all a template that uses the whole screen (it uses relative seizes). I use a modified Minima Stretched). Thereafter you can either: <BR/><BR/>1. Upload the image in the size you want (e.g 800*533) via a third-party site where you get an URL to paste into the uploading-window<BR/><BR/>2 Upload a page in the same size in the usual way, but edit the HTML code. If uploaded as large, you will find the size as 400 times something or other. Change these to for instance 800 times whatever. In addition you will have to change the "word" s400 to s800. Otherwise the picture will not be sharp.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Rune Eidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008247272056395901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-33017442834154609592009-01-21T23:50:00.000+08:002009-01-21T23:50:00.000+08:00Dear Lauren, I am not surprised; writing a book, w...Dear Lauren, <BR/><BR/>I am not surprised; writing a book, world building, being an IT Director and trying to get a piano by posting as many home-cooked meals as Scheherazade, the Vizier's daughter, had night-time stories to tell...<BR/><BR/>Yes, I would have built up an appetite by now, too.

I think of archive hunting/rummaging as turning the soil to let new light shine down, allowing perennials to burst into life again (and again if I can refer them on!).<BR/><BR/>Welcome back, I look forward to my return.<BR/><BR/>Tschuess,<BR/>ChrisSepiru Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600130405222535830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-14081008655922814362009-01-21T21:29:00.000+08:002009-01-21T21:29:00.000+08:00Hello Chris.

We went to Australia. On our way to Oz we had to wait 18 hours, so we booked a day room in that hotel near the bridge. It was beautiful. On our way back we should have had to wait 8 hours but instead they became 24 hours. And of course we had no hotelroom.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-55616926099942733442009-01-21T16:54:00.000+08:002009-01-21T16:54:00.000+08:00Reader Wil, I read your post of September.

This summer we stayed one day in Hongkong and rented a day room in a hotel near the beach.. We took a lot of photos.
