Green but blue
It's gray and cold today. Yesterday I was so productive I felt giddy. Today I am lonely and a bit homesick. Every so often, I dream about my cats and I always end up homesick the next day ( Read more... ) -
The Wheel of Jordan
I've been seeing tributes to Robert Jordan all over the place since his death--understandably. And while I can apprieciate the fact that he wrote an ass tone of pages and sold them en mass to legions of fans, personally I couldn't STAND the Wheel of Time series. Book one was one of the few books I ever paid for and couldn't make it past the first ( Read more... ) -
Dead Like Me
I did the unimaginable today; I got up before 10am. And I don’t mean 9:59 either-I was up and dressed before 7am! I haven’t had to do that for…for I don’t know how long. This may have been the first time this year. To be honest, I didn’t think I could manage it, but my 9am meeting for Wednesday has now been changed to an 8am meeting, and I need ( Read more... ) -

Pavarotti has died.
This clip is from the encore of a Three Tenors performance, which if you haven't seen, is fantastic.

We had perfect weather today! Bright blue sky, puffy white clouds and COOL temps. The sort of day that begs for you to find a sheep free field to lounge on your back in. We drove fairly far away to a town I don't know the name of to visit a Carrefour. Along the way I named the clouds. Most of them were called Cider Pig, but I ( Read more... ) -

Thunder!
Excellent. If we get a thunder storm tonight I will be very pleased.
Another long but gorgeous day in Vendée. This morning when I awoke (later than usual) I could tell it was already hotter than Saturday. Although the stone house remains very cool in comparison to the outside, the quality of air leaking through the ( Read more... ) -

I can now say I've had my hair cut in a trendy salon in a tiny town in France! A first for me. Although Odile came with me, it really wouldn't have been necessary. I only needed a trim and the nice young woman understood me completely. Although it wasn't a whole new look, the removal of my dead ends feels wonderful, well ( Read more... ) -
A week in France - Intro
Last month I spent a week in France that I had intended to post about. Although I was there a week, I've only managed to prepare a few entries about it--I spent more time journaling than blogging. To sum the trip up, Odile and I flew from London, Stanstead to Nantes on flights we picked up for £0.01 plus tax. Her brother, Remi, and sister-in-law ( Read more... )
