Test post plus

[byslantedlight]

I'm trying to work out if what I heard once about replacing icons so that they don't vanish is true, and I was going to make this a private test post, but actually... hello! I was going back through my posts to find one where I'd used this icon (made by Norfolkdumpling), so that I could see whether it vanished and was replaced by my default icon or whether it could be replaced by a different icon with the same keywords (ETA - It worked! It worked! It's now showing my icon, not the one that I originally posted here!), and I realised a few things.
- I'm definitely not using all my 160+ icons when I make posts!
- It's been a very poor year for posting, even worse than other years which I thought were poor
- I've not made a photo post for ages, let alone a series of them
- The last couple of years (2017-2018) sucked for various reasons, but the sucking turned into some pretty fab things
= If I don't start posting again, I'm going to regret it when I look back over my lj next time! And because of course it's hard to chat to people when they're not posting, and I miss that!

For now - have some icons I made yesterday, and posted elsewhere to macklingirl's Icon Challenge:

They're not brilliant, but they were fun to make. *g*

And I will save anything else I'm going to say for the next post, which will find out if the icon-thing worked. *g*

How're you doing? Melting like me, in this incredibly bright late August day? Or...?

Well I don't want to appear ungrateful but it's too damn hot for me...

Another great collection and if I'm forced to choose my favourite would be the final one of Cowley.

(And your lovely nets put mine to shame.)

Oh, it's too hot for me too - a nice 24-5C-ish would do the job nicely and feel lovely and summery, but this 28/29C muck is just over the top if you ask me... *g*

And thank you! I wish I could do proper nice icons, like the ones all those fab people made years ago, but it was fun making these ones, anyway!

I'm really not keen on net curtains, cos I'd rather see the unfiltered day outside, but I live right on a street now, with people walking past and a big window for them to look into, so it's a necessary evil, sadly. So I decided I'd better find some that I could live with, and weren't too plain without actually detracting from the real outside... and I've always loved starbursts, and alliums going pop, so it had to be these, really... *g* (And thank you, again!)
