is that an iBook i see before me ?

We are keen to buy an iBook - hope to do it this weekend in Durban...it's gonna be big fun, I predict !

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it

from the Edward Fitzgerald translation

I've picked up this book lately, and am again marvelling at the mastery of the man.....

This passage is the one Mom used to associate with the Rubaiyat, and it's the one that sticks out for me too....

Friends down under

Bram, Jacob and Hannah Renk-Kotzee, in Perth, with unnamed pet labrador...unfortunately, due to Dad's health, we won't be travelling there this xmas as planned. Another time, we hope.
