Wow, what a shot! This picture of an Iberian wolf really evokes the folk memories about wolves. Just roll over the link to see the preview – that’s enough to show what I mean!

Much later … and long after it happened (I do tend to forget the blog) … I have to report the photo was disqualified. Apparently the shot had been planned in advance and everything carefully staged, including bait for the wolf. Still a great photo though.

“Cack-handed, kak’-, (slang) adj. left-handed: clumsy” (Chambers, c1976). Kate – abbreviation of various names originating “from Gr. Aikaterine, unknown origin, later assimilated tokatharos, pure.” (Chambers)

“A cack-handed Kate” – A clumsy person (Hertfordshire and probably other places). Left-handed – yes; clumsy – yes; and with a name that can be abbreviated to Kate and has been for almost my whole adult life so far – yes I am indeed the pure Cack-handed Kate.

Usual proviso applies: views here are entirely my own, I am not representing my employer. In fact I’ll try to keep off anything to do with work here, though as originally a social scientist now lecturing in a university engineering department that might not always be easy.
