A funny thing
I do love searching through Google Analytics. There’s so much crunchy data to contemplate I could lose days in it, especially when I’m procrastinating. Someone found my website searching Liz Argall a funny thing. A funny thing is the name of a song I performed once or twice in the folk scene back in Australia.…

I just got home from a lovely photo shoot for Roving Horse Henna, photos taken (of course) by the lovely Annaliese. It has been quite an involved process, working with two delightful women I adore.

Exploring the Skribit
I’ve recently added a handy dandy widgit called skribit. This lets you post suggestions on the dashboard on the right over there and looks like a pretty cool idea. It should be easy and intuitive to use, just write in a suggestion. Let me know if it isn’t easy to use. I love creating as…
