I think your latest comment is probably meant for Sunday's blog entry rather than Saturdays's.<br />I've checked the phrase 'Rem acu tetigisti' and it means 'you have touched the thing with a needle, hit it exactly. - Proverbial expression used by Plautus.'<br /><br />I have found the expression in Chamber's twentieth Century Dictionary, in the Latin phrases addendum at the back, and although I was quoting from memory, once checked, memory is accurate for once.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558857315748815249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644275821862159476.post-4636080046084903922014-09-21T20:29:47.613+01:002014-09-21T20:29:47.613+01:00I'm probably being fussy, Mike, ... or even wr...I'm probably being fussy, Mike, ... or even wrong, but I prefer 'Rem acu attigisti'.

Yes, I think you've put your finger on the problem - rem acu tetisgisti (you have touched the matter with a needle - I think).<br />Yes, aren't those flowers incredible for time of year ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558857315748815249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644275821862159476.post-43866969628933277542014-09-21T19:58:40.936+01:002014-09-21T19:58:40.936+01:00Thank you Liz.

The card reader seemed to solve the problem for a few years.
