Phryne Fisher with thread
Here I am, except for jogging down the hill early in the morning to strain myself doing a Bar Method Class – I am holing up in my studio. From here I can see the Golden Gate Bridge and occasionally … Continue reading

The Jacobite Train
We docked in Oban and then proceeded to be driven by bus to Fort William. Along the way we missed photo stops due to mists and full lay-byes. Mist means the usual 90% chance of rain which is actually a … Continue reading

Its a lovely day out there

Drawing to a close
We are getting close enough to Seattle that it is affecting everyone’s behavior. This is Day 23/24 of the cruise with docking taking place on the 16th. Which also puts this at 87/90 days since I left home. Give or … Continue reading

Queen of the Hill
I needed a day to myself. Why, you might ask and I will simply tell you that traveling with 15 of my “very best friends” plus driver and tour guide can be a bit wearing. Well, actually “14 of my … Continue reading

Milford Sound
Part 1 – Tree lines and rocky caps While driving to Milford Sound today we finally saw what would be thought of as mountains. Still not all that high if you are used to thinking about the Andes, Rockies, or … Continue reading

Reading Memoirs
I don’t often read memoirs/autobiographies. Mostly I see them as a way for the author to figure out her/himself what happened when. Or why they did what they did, or as a way to justify/explain decisions made at various points … Continue reading

to recap

and more Hats
which means that I am listening to audiobooks more than reading. Since a new Michelle Sagara “Cast in” came out, I listened my way through most of the previous ones that I own. Downloading the lowest quality format from Audible … Continue reading

It will be Sept
Did I mention that George and I are looking to relocate sometime in the not so distant future (next year? Year after?)? I realized as part of the move a requirement to shift from my German web host which I … Continue reading

To the ends of the earth – or my garage
Driving to Wallhausen is fun, especially when I do it with someone else. We had a good time there and back. A stop at my house involved Nana and the kids books. And some old shirts for wearing, painting, crafting … Continue reading

What do I do with this?
I have this yarn – It’s a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3rd mix of silk, cotton and acyrlic with a nice feel, shine and bounce. It’s not my color but it seems to want to be knit. But into what? Never … Continue reading

Also in the box
We dropped off books this afternoon in Rohrbach, the next community down the B3 from Heidelberg. Apparently they have added a community bookshelf. While George talked to a neighbor who was walking by, I unloaded books. Sixty of them. Children’s … Continue reading

The Book Pile
I waved good bye to our household goods; all boxed up and on their way to California. Actually it was 7 Aug 2014 but this is close enough. Since then, they were delivered. Shifted around several times. Several things have … Continue reading

reading & Hugos
I seriously thought about what I should be doing this morning. Two loads of laundry won over cleaning. Then I remembered that the Hugo voting closes in two days and I hadn’t read everything. There is such thing as intelligent … Continue reading
