England #6 - Cheddar Time in The England Chronicles - September 2024

England #4 -second half of the first day in Bath in The England Chronicles - September 2024

England #1: The second time’s a charm in The England Chronicles - September 2024

...at least it's been less than two years this time in shiny things
So there IS THAT! I am always planning to write more and get caught up with everyone, and I do not know what happens. This is a really good time to do it, though. At least to SAY I’m going to do ...
Yikes!!! in shiny things
Just....yikes. I have not made an entry in OVER TWO YEARS. Of course it’s not like I was making endless bunches of them before that, but still. I have forgotten how to do everything and just spen...

greetings from Bedlam in shiny things
It is just remarkably difficult getting used to being back on campus again after working remotely since March of 2020. The noise alone is driving me completely over the edge. ( And OMG, as I was ...
how can I possibly catch up? in shiny things
I can’t! But look at me, making two entries in five days! We’re back at work now, waaaaahhhh. It’s not unbearable, but I sure do hate having to get up an hour earlier than I did when working remo...
Edna? Edna who??? in shiny things

social isolation survey in shiny things
Swiped from Search Results. Very timely. Well, it was timely when I started it on April 8. Okay, still timely since nothing at all has changed since April 8. Are you an Essential worker? I am no...
Life in Lockdown in shiny things
Well, we aren’t really locked down, although our state - NC- is under a 30-day Stay At Home order as of yesterday at 5:00. This means pretty much what we were already doing, although now gatherin...
At least it's an opportunity to do more writing... in shiny things
Yikes - this just shows how fragile our lifestyle is, I guess, and how quickly we can be catapulted into a bizarre new world of quarantines and social isolation and shortages and rationing etc et...
Yikes in shiny things

Current-ishes in shiny things
I’ve been trying to make an entry for AGES, to no avail - but it’s slow at work, and I’ve got time to do it, so no more avoiding. And as I have a total mishmash of topics, a Currents it is. Well,...
Why yes, I *have* just arrived from the 19th Century in shiny things
Well, maybe mid-20th century, since contact lenses became available to the masses in the 1950s-60s, although Wikipedia tells me that Leonardo da Vinci actually introduced the idea in 1508. His pr...
because apparently only a survey can bestir me... in survey time
… to make an entry. And this is a really really REALLY random survey. I have also cut out approximately 452,640 questions. You’re welcome! Do your jeans have rips, tears, and holes in them? No, a...
Phillip in shiny things
First, thanks for all the kind notes about my dad -it’s still hard to believe, and I keep thinking I need to call him. But three weeks ago we found ourselves with a happy addition to the family, ...
