Weird. This only just arrived but you sent it 3 days ago.

My sister liked painting and she was getting quite good, then she had 
children. That was the end of it. These days she's a Real Estate Agent 
in the Barossa Valley.

You mentioned that you like working with pictures, this one might make 
you smile.

Louise wrote to me and asked how to make pictures smaller for emails 
because all her friends were complaining. She attached a 5 megapixel 
picture of her husband sitting up in a hospital bed after having a brain 
tumour removed.

I wrote a full tutorial for her and used the picture of the husband as 
an example, but just for a joke I flipped a section of the picture so 
that his ear was upside down and after I'd finished it looked more 
realistic than the original.

I didn't hear from them for weeks and was worried that I'd offended 
them, I rang them up. David answered the phone and straight away I asked 
if I had offended him and he was confused. I asked him if he saw the 
last email I sent and he called out to my sister to bring it up on the 
screen. As soon as it appeared on the screen he burst out laughing but I 
could hear my sister in the background "What? Why are you laughing? 
What's so funny?" This made David laugh even more.

And because it was already a smaller picture suitable for email that was 
the picture that she sent to all his relatives in England to let them 
know that he was all right. None of them said anything about his ear either.

Cheers,

Andrew.
