overnight
I left work late last night. It was raining. It wasn't raining as hard as it was when I left for work in the morning. Since Guernsey gifted me with Gore-Tex the rain is not so much an issue, and I didn't really notice it on the walk. As I reached John's Mews, the fox was prancing around a puddle, and he stopped to watch me approach him and then ( Read more... ) -

december by some numbers
December to date has been busy and somewhat stressful. There was very little noteworthy (perhaps--more below) from the beginning till recently, other than work. Friday night the walk home from work was a bit challenging due to some ice. Saturday morning I got up and went to get my hair cut, and it started snowing. It kept snowing when my hair cut ( Read more... ) -
trip to hythe
Last Saturday was my first trip to Kent. I went to pick up my pictures from James, who lives on the southeastern coast in Hythe. The trains down there are Southeastern trains and they leave from St Pancras, whose domestic terminal is new and clean like the Eurostar terminal but is in my opinion very well hidden and hard to find, as it is north of ( Read more... ) -
attacking politicians
There is a dumb woman who is running for a seat in the upper house in America, and Facebook participants and different media sources have been giving her a hard time because she's dumb and like Sarah Palin (so, relatively young, not dumpy looking, and did I mention dumb). Today a video of her has been making the rounds in which she queries where in ( Read more... ) -
milk it, bob!
To celebrate her birthday, Erika invited us to lunch at Petersham Nurseries in Richmond. A highlight for me was getting to interact briefly with a cow--she was generally nonplussed, but if I got too close she would walk away a bit. She was only interested in chewing grass--she knows my type--next time I'll pack a carrot in my bag.

dusk at livejournal
A couple days ago idahoswede gave a brief biography to her livejournal friends who might be a bit late to the game. I fell into that category, as I met her in 2009 through engelskjente, whom I haven't seen in a year (through my fault) but who has been my LJ friend for over six years. There isn't much need for me to write a biography to fill in newcomers, because of my ( Read more... ) -
birth of Matthew Silas
Lil Krissy gave birth to her first son and my first nephew on 13 September, which happens not only to be a Friday from time to time but which also happens to be Kristen and Jeff's anniversary and Eric's birthday--anything to make my life easier, as these things are clearly about me ( Read more... )
