Clouds often do have silver linings.
A big thanks to all of you who left messages of support regarding my mother in law. I’m pleased to be able to say that, although she is still in hospital, she is making progress, and is feeling a lot less poorly than she was a couple of weeks ago when she was rushed into hospital with breathing difficulties.
My other half is relieved, as you would imagine, but knows that her mum is not out of the woods just yet. Still, things are looking up, which is good news.
The downside is that our proposed holiday in Corsica has been cancelled because my other half wants to spend some time with her mum this summer.
Not going away will be a bit of a shame, and I was looking forward to touring the interesting French isle, but, I can understand why my other half feels that she will be too far away if things start looking bad.
Looks as though summer will be a little quiet this year, but, then again, there are plenty of places around Genova that I’ve never seen, but would very much like to. Lots of fodder for my camera too!

It never rains but it pours.
Unfortunately my mother in law is in hospital again. The poor lady’s health has never been great, and years of chain smoking have finally caught up with her. Collapsing lungs, thyroid, heart and breathing problems, excessive weight loss, and loss of appetite.
All in all, not good. My other half is distraught and has been down in Genova for the last week with our little one. She seems to be expecting the worse, even if this her mother has been in hospital a few times before now.
I’m off down to Genova this afternoon to attempt to bring our little one back to Milan, so at least my other half will have, possibly, one less thing to deal with/ worry about.
To cap it all, and on top of everything else, I’ve got three new courses kicking off this week, and do not have everything ready yet (not my fault).

Work Around to WordPress 2.5 inserting images into posts
OK, this is pretty simple. If you cannot actually get those pictures into posts via WordPress 2.5’s new image management thingy, you can usually see the URL of the image you want after funding it in the Add Media > Add an image iconr.
All you do is copy the url of your chosen image from the pop up menu you see after clicking on the Add an image icon and paste it into the insert/edit image pop up which appears when you click on the little tree icon in the menu bar above your post.
Your image will then appear in your post, just the same as in the old WordPress, but now with the bonus of the image size being added automagically.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way! At least this makes 2.5 useable until the next upgrade comes along.
