In more cheerful goings-on

• Microsoft ICE is now working, more or less, though it doesn't cope brilliantly with differently-scaled tiles. The problem? That when selecting the set of files I wanted to make up the panorama, I was clicking on the first, holding down shift, and then clicking on the last. ... turns out that to avoid the problem I was hitting in my previous post you need to do that in reverse.
  
• I went to a ceilidh! With a lovely, lovely band who played a dance just for me! I got to dance! (I wheeled up to them, explained I didn't have my dancing chair with me, but maybe did they possibly have anything in their repertoire that (a) was able to be short and (b) didn't involve me swapping partners, so I'd reliably be partnered with someone who would spot if I was about to fall over? and they did it and I danced!) And thank you also to the wonderful birthday girl :-)
  
• ... I recently finished The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater and I adored it. WATER HORSES THAT WILL EAT YOU ALIVE BUT ALSO LOVE YOU.
  
• in other things I adored: Red Tape Stories from Indian Country; The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo; everything else ever by Zen Cho; The Honey Month by Amal El-Mohtar; and I continue steadily working my way through China Mieville
  
• ... and that will do for this particular 3am.
