"OH NO!" she cried .....

Ah, my blog friends, I take a moment to remove the egg from my face. When I determined to start a blog, I wanted a catchy title. Thinking of the Latin phrase for I came, I saw, I conquered, I thought how clever I would be to use a portion of it for my blog spot. The result? Vini Vidi Vlog. I was filled with smugness at my clever play on words! And for all these months I've blogged in blissful ignorance. Today, I came across the phrase spelled correctly,--Veni, Vidi, Vici. "NO!", I gasped, "It cannot be!" But alas, it can, and I (who pride myself on my grammar and spelling) have been flying under a misspelled banner for lo these many months. I am suitably bereft. BUT, I am impressed by the kindness and compassion of all my blog friends who resisted the urge to correct me. You will all be relieved to know I FINALLY got it right!

    Hi Bev. I'm sorry about your misspelling. I had just assumed it was right all this time. :-)

    Bev - I'm sure no-one noticed!! It reminds me of the old song "You say vini and I say veni" (yes, I altered the lyrics).
    Maybe "vini" means "I drank cheap plonk" (Ozspeak for drinking house wines). Or "I fell in the wine vat". Or just plain "I am intoxicated". I am sure it must have something to do with wine.

    Oh Dear Bev, I never would have known, I have trouble spelling my own name! Your blog is beautiful in any case :)

    Now, see, I thought you were making a clever play on words, and loved the title for that reason.

    Really like the background of the title, Bev; another fine work of art.

    :)
