Now that's really interesting. At first I could only see her turning clockwise. I think it may have been partly due to a smudge on my screen that was throwing a highlight onto her chest at a crucial point in the turn. Then, as I was scrolling down to post a reply, suddenly once her head was out of sight I saw her going in the other direction. Quite startling. Now, scrolling back up to watch her, I see her going in one direction until my system hiccups in the animation, then she appears to reverse direction until the next hiccup.
Of course, I had to go look up right-brain and left-brain, as I never can remember which is which.
