La Gata Encantada
La Gata Encantada is the name of a pub in a novel by John Varley. It means 'the enchanted cat'. I like cats, so I stole the sign (it just needed some revarnishing and - Look! Good as new!). The door is open, to an amber glow and the sound of music and good fellowship. Come on in.

And I spotted the upside-down 'r'. Well, technically, it was right-side up, as 'r', but they are supposed to be upside-down so that particular 'r', being upright, was wrong.
And I spotted it. :-)
"And I spotted the upside-down 'r'."
I'm, um, very happy for you. So the phonetics exam went well, then?
Yes, except in Part D of Question 5 I had to lecture on vowels in NZ English and did it in two sentences. Somehow I don't think I'm going to impress the marker there.
On the other hand I have pages and pages of reading a spectrogram...
I went home, watched some Firefly with Michael, and then fell asleep. I was having a really interesting dream, too. I thought that I was reading a book or a story at first (or at least remembering it) and it just kept getting weirder and weirder.
There was this guy who got built into a barrow mound by the Fairies (who were really Alien greys in wigs, with a squirrel king and queen) because he'd been very nasty and wanted them do so something useful with the rest of his life and they figured an instant landmark would be somehow useful.
He stayed that way for several years, but then they let him out, with a faithful dog and a fairy with hair like smoke in a blackberry bramble so he could set some things right and find his missing triplet.
I woke up when the characters were on the castle battlements with the fairy soldiers, who were made of silver and somewhat flat and could be slotted together and hang on to the corners of the crenellations with their feet...
I skipped the bit where I looked at peoples shoes, which were identical except the thread connecting the soles to the uppers was multi-coloured - one green-white, one green-white-and-blue - or the comic scenes while the barrow was built...
One of those.
Lose points for not referring to the seasons.
[choke] I did so - in the first line, dammit.
