MINERVA'S PAGE

*

On these pages are the contents of the web pages which I had on the now defunct Vines network and also some of my original writing. I have also added links to some forums I visit.

My Trip to Morocco in April 2008 - I have almost finished this section. There is still some way to go but I have done the bulk of it. If anyone can help me to identify the Kasbahs please send me an email.

My trip to Iran October 2006 - Pictures and some comments about my trip to Iran. Scroll down to the bottom of the Iran Index Page to find a link to pictures of some of the Iranian National Treasures, scanned from postcards.The pictures do not do justice to them but it gives some idea of the priceless jewellery.

My trip to Malta in May 2004 - My impressions of Malta

Talbot's Rubaiyat - an unknown version of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, written by Arthur B Talbot from a literal translation, from the original Farsi, by Edward Heron-Allen.

Rubaiyat Prose Translation - A comparison between the prose translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Edward Heron-Allen © and the poetic version by Arthur B Talbot.

Writing Index - Some original writing, poetry and the serial stories I wrote for my own forum.

Recipes - so that my kids don't have to keep asking me for instructions as to how to make self-saucing chocolate pudding.

Constable Care - a poetic commentary on a daily newspaper feature. In these endeavours I was ably assisted by Rhonda. I thought that it would be a pity to lose these rhyming couplets and so I preserved them.

The Vines Index - some oddments from a couple of my vines sites

Text Symbols Codes - Ever wondered how to type ½? Not all of them work in all different programs but it is a start.

Pinkbutnotb Cartland Index - some of the threads from the Starship Titanic Forum which I saved for posterity. I'd like to thank all who took part in the threads - we had a lot of fun. Sadly the forum is now closed.

Learn to Read the Tarot - Tarot interpretations. Don't take them too seriously;   there seems to be something there for every occasion.
