Fic: A Lady High and Valiant by nineveh_uk
Fandom: The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R.Tolkien
Rating: G, CNTW
Chapters: 1
Length: 1316 words
Summary: And Éomer kissed his sister and saw that though she wept, yet it was but the weeping of grief for one who had been as a father to them, and though her shield-arm lay still in a linen sling, her face showed a woman hale and full of hope. Éowyn and Éomer meet again in Minas Tirith after the crowning of the King.

The main lesson of this fic is that I should have done a keyboard shortcut for É when I started writing...

Still at home feeling rubbish. I did actually get dressed for work today, as I am supposed to be on a training course, but I felt too horrendous to actually leave the house and went back to bed.

Holding down Alt Gr while typing the letter will get you an acute accent on some keyboards.

Hope you feel better soon!

Óh, so it does! Thank you.

Sorry to see you are still not well. I have been on an antibiotics run for a neighbour today. The sun may be shining but spring sees several people abed.

There is a lot going round. I have been enjoying the sun from indoors at least. Much nicer than being ill when it is rainy.

Alt+0201 for uppercase É, if you have a number keypad. (I have a whole list of alt-codes for accents printed out and pinned on the noticeboard next to my desk, because we have lots of people with accents in their names and I want to spell them right when I email them.) Or CTRL+' then the letter in Word.

I'm sorry you're still feeling rubbish - I hope you feel better soon!

I should do something similar, because at it is I end up using the insert symbol menu, which isn't exactly speedy.

Thanks. I am feeling better than last night, which is a start. I really need yo get into work tomorrow if I can, even if just for part of the day

I really like that. I think it will become part of my LOTR head-canon.

Wow, thank you!
