Last Days...London Now

      We arrived in London yesterday midday and now I've got five full days before heading home. I am not a great travel blogger, just trying to appreciate the moments. I've enjoyed the National Trust properties but even more so, the time meeting family and friends of my friend met through the blogging community. The UK has made me feel at home. Here's just a random bit of pictures and not in day order and as I did some transferring to free up memory, entire days are not on my phone. I'll try to recap in the future and organize a bit and map the month as it's been an incredibly full itinerary, but with down time to talk and laugh. I'll sleep for days once home so unless I do a post from the airport, I'll be quiet until December starts. 

Stourhead house was closed but here's an assortment of the spectacular grounds and cottages and entry points.

Sunday Thoughts It's Now Fall

Image
      Picture at  Pexel.com      Or is tomorrow officially fall? I never remember if the seasons change on the 20th or 21st, but my weather alert text said today's the last day of summer.  " Last day of summer! Increased sunshine with warmer highs in the mid-70s, isolated severe storms possible. Pleasant weather this week."      It's a perfect morning sitting outside while the dogs play and I have my coffee. I've had a good weekend so far and am ok with getting some rain. Though, my daughter is working a festival and rain could keep crowds away. She's helping her friend in the food truck, but was hopeful she'd see some good return on her time in tips. Yesterday I met her  roommate at the finish line of younger daughters 1/2 Marathon.  Her time was not unexpected as she really paced herself at a slow steady run. We had a nice lunch after. Later I joined family for a perfect night for a fire at my sister's. My BIL grilled bu...

Monday Morning Thoughts for a Busy Week

      This just working part time is more than enough when my week feels busy. I don't recall the last time I had so much in a short period of time. I also have cat duty for my sister morning and evenings until Thursday. She and another sister joined Memphis commuter sister on her work trip.  Monday: Besides a few meetings and adding more to the project documents I have two personal tasks. One is picking up my daughter's bike from the repair guy. Her car is too little, and I might keep as she looks for a more road worthy version. I'm not opposed to a couple useable bikes here. I also have an appointment to get a copy of my marriage license. I have one, but not sure if I'll need to send anything for social security so wanted a second. If timing works, I am going to try to get to at least the second half of my great nieces first highschool soccer game. The Minnesota Vikings season starts tonight.  Tuesday: I have the AAUW Knowledge and Nibbles event. I joined out ...

It's Worse Than I Imagined

      The shit show since January 20th has been a big reason for my reclusiveness the last few weeks. Let the comments fly. Create a crisis. Lie that you resolved it. Get your sycophants to suck it all up. Rinse. Repeat...for four F' ing years.  Oh, and let's shout, "but her emails" while a foreign oligarch is raiding our private personal data with his hoard of teenagers. Let's pardon January 6th criminals, several of which immediately committed additional crimes.  I said it was going to be my only political post election post but man, it's even worse than I could have imagined.
