Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

See the dwelling place of God among men !
And he will dwell with them,
they will be his people,
and God himself will be with them.
Revelation 21.3

When I was in St Nicholas Cathedral, Ljubljana I looked at the literature (a habit of mine) that is always available near to the entrance of a church. Whilst I was doing this one of the church members/officials came to tidy up the table. As I put the card you see in the picture above back down on the table, he said ‘You can take it’. I said thank you and picked it up again even though I hadn’t intended on taking it away with me.
When I got home I was able to translate the Slovenian words on the back of the card into English. The photo on the front of the card speaks for itself.

When translated into English the reverse side of the card reads:

See the dwelling place of God among men!
And he will dwell with them,
they will be his people,
and God himself will be with them
Revelation 21.3

300 years of the cathedral
St. Nicholas
in Ljubljana

In remembrance and thanksgiving
the pilgrimage to the cathedral ! Ljubljana !

52 Photos Project – Gallery 24 – Orange

This weeks prompt was Orange which made me think of autumn leaves and Halloween pumpkins. I do have photos that fit with that thought but as always I like to stretch my imagination.

So I present to you the Summer sun…

More Orange can be found in the week 24 gallery.

My Struggle with Photoshop

CherryPie — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:22:02 +0000

We are all being encouraged to have a bit of a sort out at work. There have been lots of desk moves since we successfully stopped our work being centralised in Bristol. We have been squeezed into a smaller space that has led to a lot of clutter which doesn’t look good when we are trying to attract new customers. So I have been having a bit of a clear out, my desk has been de-cluttered (mostly), my trays tidied and I have started on sorting out my desk drawers. I have thrown lots of rubbish into the recycling bins and also been told off by the cleaner because my bin was too full!!!

There is no modesty board on my desk and I was told some time ago that there were none in the building so I improvised with two large posters which were different sizes and looked rather messy. They also seemed to attract rather a lot of dust. Today I came up with a neater plan which was to put white paper across the gap between the desk legs. The only paper I could think of that was the right size was a large roll of Christmas paper. So there was I cutting Christmas paper to size (with the help of my colleagues). Someone quipped, ‘Is that a Christmas present?’ and I replied, ‘The present is me’. They went a bit quiet, I am not quite sure why I am also not sure how long my desk will look tidy. I am betting the new modesty screen will get trashed next time the cleaner gets the Hoover out!

Anyway, onto my struggle with Photoshop…

As part of the clean up process I removed all my higgdley piggledy photo frames and clips and planned to replace them with a photo collage pinned to the board at the back of my desk. Photoshop made things difficult for me by crashing whenever I tried to manipulate the photos in the picture but I was determined not to let it beat me completely. The following is the result, which I am not quite happy with because of the white area on the left hand side. However, I decided it would do for now and I will try again when Photoshop is behaving itself a bit better!
