Interinstitutional style guide for all EU languages

February 5th, 2010 · No Comments

I suggest that all Europeans who wish need a reference tool to help them with their formal writing, check out the Interinstitutional style guide. It is not complete but is being developed all the time.

http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-000500.htm

The link above is for people writing in English, but the tools are being developed for all EU languages:

It was minus 25C this morning, but about 15 people of all ages came to my exhibition:-) One was a visitor from Facebook.  Two 3-year olds enjoyed painting – it’s their second exhibition at Kahvi-Kaisa!  The youngest visitor was just 3-weeks old.

Winter seascape photos

December 30th, 2009 · No Comments

On 27th December, the sun came out for a while and I went for a walk near my home, with my camera. It was minus 10C, as opposed to minus 20C the previous day, so I managed to take a few photos before the batteries gave out. In the first photo, there’s a woman taking an icy dip in the foreground, and men fishing through a hole in the ice in the background – both very usual happenings on the sea in winter. I love the sky and the feeling of space in these shots, and hope you do too:-)

Which painting should I enter for the 140 Hours of Fame?

November 21st, 2009 · 21 Comments

1. MuhuShore 2. farewell-ro-rusniku 3. 2009-07-01-Rosegarden 4. forestfloor

I’m planning to enter a watercolour painting in the 140 Hours of Fame art auction on 27th November 2009:
http://www.140hours.com/
I can only enter one painting, and would very much appreciate your telling me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE which one you think is best, and also your second choice, either as a comment or as email to ruth.vilmi[at]writeit.to.  I like number 3 I’m afraid that the quality may not be good enough. It’s less than 1 Mb.
