OK… this is not going down in history as pure genius. At least not on my part. Photoshop CS5 has this neat little feature called ‘puppet warp’ – it’s an awesome tool if you know how to use it. Me, I’m just stumbling along, learning ever so slowly by trial and error…
My models are Renzo Knight of Gozo, our little mascot, and Charlie, the permanent resident of the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz. And of course I left them in their familiar surroundings! (Well, they don’t really spend time in hotel rooms – leave alone suites, but for today we’ll let that pass, shall we? hehe)

With that, I’ve sat much longer at the PC than I wanted to. But it was worth it. Will switch off for good now…. so in case you comment (please do – critics are welcome!) I probably won’t reply before tomorrow. Have a nice weekend!
Woke up to the kind of grey, wet and cold Sunday morning that justifies a lengthy lie-in. I hoped to even sleep much longer as the second half of this week sported a serious lack of that. But Simba has made it a morning habit of lying right across my feet, presumably to annoy the hell out of me so I’ll wake up: his weight of nearly 10kg are no joke!
Wednesday I got up at 5 in the morning to go to Malta, where I attended a 2-days’ workshop about social media marketing. It was pretty intensive, and an eye-opener too: thinking I knew it all (well, almost, anyways), Twitter and its ramifications really brought me down to my knees… I had signed up a couple of years ago (I think) but only out of my usual curiosity. I quickly discarded it again because I found it plain boring (and I really didn’t need another social platform to spread out on!). Well, now I’m forced to be back in the twitter fold, if only to learn everything I can about it, so if you like, you can follow me here. I’d be really happy because out of the four followers I have at this moment, one is my dear friend Kathy, while the others are spammers, which I’ll eliminate before YOU even get to see them. So back to one follower…
Of course you could also follow the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz… after all, our hotel is the reason why I’m doing this in the first place, so might as well try and get a little fan-base going there!
And while you’re at it, check out Sockington the cat! A million and a half followers can’t go wrong, can they?? But seriously, Sockington’s tweets are a hoot! Please do forgive me the pun…
Disclaimer: I absolutely refuse to assume responsibility should you find yourself lost in the vast twitter world!
Out in the garden the first fresias made their appearance this week; a couple days more and there will be a riot of colours. And now even the sun came out to play… Spring’s on the way! I’m only telling you this because I’m so happy I actually noticed…
PS A post with pictures will follow soon, stay posted!
