BBC E-mail: Can people unlearn their naked shame?

** Can people unlearn their naked shame? **
Once we were all happy to walk around naked, now we’re not. But can an experiment in nudity help us understand why we are so embarrassed by being seen in the buff and help shed our inhibitions?

Touch Typing III. Blog 200902111151

Wednesday 11th February 2009, Grenoble, France.

Touch Typing III

;a

just sat down in a caf you, reader, cannot see the speed of my typing
luckily. But at last I had the time to continue with my learning touch
typing.

Of course nothing is ever that simple. The waiter sees me sitting down and
hurries over. “those tables are for lunch only”. I consider the situation. I
have chosen this table on a score of interesting. It scores high on the
interesting score because it has a view of the entrance door and is on a
slight podium. “OK I’ll take lunch”… … “This table is reserved; you will
have to sit here.” He said, gesturing to the next table.

So here I am. I suppose that I could move to another table, but why? It is
unlikely that another table will have the same ‘interesting’ score and this
table is only slightly removed from the ideal. Perhaps I’ll meet the person
for whom that table is reserved.

This is our first day in Grenoble this year and Daisy is in bed while I go
out to move the car. Then I had a wander to get a book and ended up in Place
Grenette. Found this place by chance because it looked the most normal
(whatever that might be). Now I will have tartiflette and une verre de vin
rouge.

Touch Typing II

;a

you, reader, cannot see the speed of my typing luckily. Although I could
do a macro, but you wouldn’t want to watch it. Apart from the slowness,
there are the interminable mistakes, followed by backspacing and correction.
I so want to be able to type fluently, but it comes so slowly.

Anyway this preamble is meant to explain that I am learning to touch type.
I have determined that I will only write my blog using touch typing. This is
one of the reasons why there has been a long gap between postings. The other
was being laid low by food poisoning from ice cream.

Touch typing

If you are a touch typist, you may have forgotten how liberating learning
that was for you. If you have never considered learning to touch type you
may wonder what the fuss is all about. You may say, I can type pretty fast
one [or two or more] fingers. I have wanted to learn to touch typing since
seeing my mother learning. However I have always put it off because of
reason three above. Now I have actually made a start, I can highly recommend
it.

I wanted to learn to touch type. But it is such a laborious process that I
have put it off. Then I got the tip off the internet to use blue tac on the
keys; this makes the impossible, possible. So this blog has been totally
produced by touch typing.

The main thing it is giving me is immediate feedback. I don’t look up to
see that I have typed a whole row of capital letters which have to be
retyped.

All this liberation, if rewarding, is very tiring so I’m going off for
breakfast.

Have a good day …

Wet loft problems continue. Blog 200901162113

Wet loft problems continue. ^ Blog 200901162113

Friday 16^th January 2009, Brighton, England.

Wet loft problems continue (see previous post)

Perhaps you have been wondering where I went. Well, I have been humping stuff out of the wet loft and putting it in storage. This has been a wet, cold and smelly task.

Landlords action? NIL. – well no surprise there then!

As a result of all this activity I have been knackered and so no log. But as I have now saved the most important items out of the loft I am gong to bed. Sorry there is no more at present, I will do a post tomorrow.

Good Night and Happy Tomorrow everybody.

Eric.
