The afternoon has been very pleasant.  I spent quite a while reading "Monday Mourning" by Kathy Reichs and was quite amused.  The book was set in Montreal (impressive enough for an american writer) but there's a nova scotian character that is meant to be a grad. of St.FX.  I was incredibly entertained. Afterwards we went out to a garden centre (was ( Read more... )

Wow, so what a weekend.  What a beginning of the week.  My vacation has really begun.  As i am still staying with E and R i haven't worked since last thursday, though this was kind of how it was meant to be all long i think.  i got to work for four weeks and my fifth has been spent hanging out, trying out some different cocktails (and cider).  On ( Read more... )

So, i've moved onto Cherrydale, and am staying with E and R.  So far, its been an absolute blast.  Yesterday there was frolicking around Camberley, and we went to see all my cousin's ballet classes (she teaches them), and then we did a bit of shopping at Marks and Spencer and Tescos.  OMG!!!  Its so awesome here.  They sell liquor in the grocery ( Read more... )

I am le tired.  It has been a long week.  I spent two days scoring cards, i'm not certain that my arm will ever recover. Not really much else going on.  I have slowly, but steadily, been making my way through the Sharpe series (i just finished Sharpe's Honour), oh and last night was the last episode of the apprentice.  I was so happy that Simon won ( Read more... )

"Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together; sophistication demands that they submit to sex immediately without proper preliminary talk.  Not courting talk-real straight talk about souls, for  life is holy and every moment is precious." (58)

Every day seems to have something every so slightly horrifying and scarring to my mind. At least once a day my uncle will say something horrible, often in polish (and my aunt will then yell at him).  Other than that not much else going on (other than the exciting world of work).  After Tuesday i worked for the rest of the week.  Last night i saw ( Read more... )

Not a whole lot going on.  I went to work today, did some colating, and putting together binders, and got to see the laminating machine at work.  I didn't like that machine.  It made noises that were reminiscent of the damned being tortured in Hell, or how i'd imagine they'd sound.  Oh, and apparently my uncle has moved onto tormenting moderately ( Read more... )

Today, so far, has been one of the marvelous days.  The sun is shining, big fluffy bees are frolicking in the flowers and there's enough breeze that it isn't too hot.  I was able to have a nice leisourly start to the day, as there wasn't a whole lot going on at work today and i wasn't to work.  So, around 9:30 or so i rolled out of bed and made my ( Read more... )

Yesterday we went to Portsmouth and did the historic dockyard.  The weather was lovely, really rather hot, and so it was kind of nice to be out at the seaside.  C and K got a family pass for all of us (despite the fact that jeremy and i are, technically, too old) and we did all the sites (harbour cruise, the victory, the mary rose, and whatever it ( Read more... )

I have sufficiently recovered to tell the tale of my (brief) trip into London.  We set off early-ish and made our way to Farnborough where we caught the train into London to Waterloo station.  We then took the Northern Line to the station that was aparently the correct one for going to the British Museum.  This was all followed by wandering around ( Read more... )
