I am so sorry about your grandmother, msbelle. Love to you and Mac.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am posting from a bus. It has wifi! But no electrical plugs and it's a 7 hour trip. Im trying to conserve my time, but it's difficult. I would try to sleep,but I have the headache that will not quit. We are sat in a bus ration waiting for a connecting bus to get here....the net is my only salvation.
Wifi and no outlet is like the modern Sophie's choice. Or some other hard thing.
So far, I've discovered the bus co wifi has blocked Flickr, tumblr, and ew.com. I kind of understand Flickr and tumblr,but Entertainment Weekly?!?
Wifi and no outlet? That's not sense-making.
I mailed stuff today. Go me! Now I need to get ready for onslaught of kids as we are taking some of Franny's friends to go see The Hobbit.
Maybe it sucks a lot of bandwidth? Is that still an issue on today's internets?
On honor of the solstice (and it not being a Spare the Air day for once), I fed the birds and lit a fire outside, which was nice, and now I can still watch the birds through the picture window. Very pleasant.
Thinking of you and Mac bunches today, msbelle. And of you and your family, Burrell. As an outsider, looking at your lists of things you are doing right and things you are not, you seem to be more on the okay side than not.
In conclusion, mmm, barbecue.
Have discovered another wonderful BBC documentary series: Tales from the Palaces, the story of the people who maintain the historic palaces in England, the ones that are tourist attractions now. There's conservators, groundskeepers, salvage crews in case of disasters, fund raisers, etc.
Today, I've cut my hair short, finished my Christmas shopping, and done a couple small acts of kindness. That'll do; I'm spending the rest of the weekend in my house.
