Whoa!

by rosclarke @ 2007-07-27 - 09:09:55

Sudden upsurge of interest in my blog - yesterday I had almost 1000 hits (my usual average is a couple of hundred). Now I feel obliged to start posting interesting, erudite comments so that everyone is impressed. Watch out for a fascinating entry on the Deissmann-Turner debate regarding the Greek of the NT - it's a thriller! And maybe we'll have to have the Indiana Jones-esque story of the discovery of Codex Sinaiticus. Yes, I'm making some progress with the NT reading course language and textual criticism sections. :) But right now I'm finalising lesson plans for NT 010 Greek a that starts on Monday.

Maybe this time I'll actually learn the alphabet in the right order. I have a sampler somewhere that has both Greek and Hebrew alphabets, sewn from memory, both with errors in them. Pathetic. But it'll make for some interesting textual criticism in a couple of thousand years time, don't you think?

I wasn't one of the hitters yesterday, for a change. Were you coming up on Google with your comments about JKR? We've been thinking of you as we've been reading the DH - Hermione's bag is such a Ros touch!

I learnt the Greek alphabet to the tune of Gentille Alouette. Not that I can remember it now, though :( Maybe we should teach Elliot his Greek and Hebrew alphabets now! Maybe after he's learnt his English one, eh?

Yes, I definitely want one of those beaded bags that you can fit everything in. Much more chic than Mary Poppins. It's odd though, because the number of visitors to the site is about the same as normal, just the number of page views is much higher.
