Part 2 of that 1997ish Domicile Survey going around in survey time
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DVD THAT YOU OWN? I was just marveling to Baker B about how DVDs seem like SO much trouble now! Take them out of the case, (after finding them to begin with, of course), put...
The “1997 CALLED AND IT WANTS.... in survey time
…ITS SCREAMING DOMICILE SURVEY BACK” Survey. (Part 1) I found myself longing for a good survey tonight, and look!! It’s one straight from Simple Mind and the 90s! It’s also quite timely because w...
England #14 - Launceston Castle, Cornwall in The England Chronicles - May 2017
SO, one entry back, we toured the Bodmin Jail, and then we set out over the Bodmin Moor for Launceston Castle, Okehampton Castle, and a drive back across Dartmoor. Yes, it WAS a long last day in ...
England #13 – Bodmin, featuring the scary haunted... in The England Chronicles - May 2017
…Bodmin Jail At last, we have reached our…sob… final day in Cornwall. Of course the fact that we were headed out the next day for Bath made us a lot more cheerful about it, but boy there was a lo...
A little of this, a little of that in survey format in survey time
I’m really trying to write more, and since OD has been resurrected so suddenly and unexpectedly, it’s made me realize how much I miss the days when I wrote a LOT. Days which were considerably bef...
England #12 - a meetup in Penzance... in The England Chronicles - May 2017
…and tour of surrounding areas. I am starting to think I will never ever get done with this - we took the trip in MAY!!! Both prior trips I moaned about how long it was taking me to write up my t...
England #11 - wandering around Port Isaac (part 2) in The England Chronicles - May 2017
Part 1 of Port Isaac is back one entry, detailing our immense difficulty in actually finding Port Isaac thanks to the Google Maps GPS From Hell. Port Isaac was well worth the effort to find, thou...
England #10 - dropping in on Doc Martin at Port Isaac in The England Chronicles - May 2017
I forgot to mention in my last entry how much I loved driving - it was kind of bizarre, how much I loved it. Even at the time, I was thinking it was a little weird that I was finding driving in E...
England #9 - Tintagel Castle (part 2) in The England Chronicles - May 2017
I started an entry about the gorgeous breathtaking Tintagel one back, but it’s so stunning that it needs two entries just for the pictures. Cornwall is just unbelievably beautiful. We walked all...
England #8 - Tintagel Castle (part 1) in The England Chronicles - May 2017
Two entries back is the first half of this day, in which we planned to go to Tintagel Castle and Port Isaac, but by happy accident ended in Padstow. Upon reflection I’m not sure why we decided to...
England #7 - A trip to Padstow in The England Chronicles - May 2017
OMG I’m making an England Trip Entry! Finally. I see my last one was August 3. I am already breaking my Seriously Glacial Posting Times from the last trip, and not in a good way. And on a side n...
Six weeks later.... in shiny things
....and I am making an entry at 11 pm on a weeknight, because (a) I have decided to, as they so amusingly say in Peepshow, pull a sickie tomorrow. I need a mental health day!! And (b), I got a te...
England #6 - Exeter Cathedral in The England Chronicles - May 2017
And now, finally, Exeter Cathedral! It was founded in 1050, and the present building’s foundation was started in 1133 and finished in 1400. It is absolutely enormous, stunningly Gothic, and, to ...
Exeter is a cathedral city, to quote Wikipedia- and the cathedral is the big centerpiece. There is also the Historic Quay area along the river, which, sadly, we didn’t make it to, since our day w...
England #4 - We head towards Exeter in The England Chronicles - May 2017
As I mentioned in an earlier entry, we had so many places we wanted to see in Cornwall that it would take us, oh, six months to even see a fraction of them. For our first full day, we decided we’...
To Bodmin! Of course, being Kim and I, we had, ummmm, issues finding the Budget where we were to pick up our rental car on Sunday morning. Well, not in finding it so much as getting TO it - it wa...
Since I’ve been back from England for, ummmmmm.....a month today, it’s about time I made an entry. Of course I’ve spent the last half hour trying to figure out why I can not get pictures from Fli...
EEEKKKKKK!!! in shiny things
OMG. Tomorrow I leave for England!!! I had firm intentions of making lots and lots of entries here before the Big Trip… hahahahahaha!!! I’ll just have to do a travelog when I get back, like I di...
EdnaLand Update in shiny things
Not that there’s much to update – other than whining about wanting to write more and not doing it! If I’d do it more often, I’d probably have a lot more to say. Right now I’m at work, of course, ...
Currently in EdnaVille in shiny things
It’s… it’s.... two entries in a hair less than three weeks!!!! Shocker!!! And of course I want to write but have nothing specific to say, so Currents it is. I’m back to having a slow spell at wor...
*Six months* later.... in shiny things
Why on earth do I wait so long between entries??!!?? I don’t know!! I miss it, I often vow I’ll start anew and write regularly.... then I vanish for, oh, six months. I see I made four entries in ...
What it takes to get me to write an entry..... in shiny things
Is severe boredom, apparently. We’re currently experiencing our annual biggest downtime phase at work, which is nice, but it’s also booooring. And I even have something I need to be working on – ...
Good job with that writing streak! in shiny things
So much for getting back into the habit of writing- a habit which I really haven’t been in since the OD days, but I keep hoping. And honestly, I am afraid the only reason I’m making an entry now ...
the marriage survey in survey time
Trying to keep up my writing semi-streak; can’t be bothered with figuring out how to post any Charleston pictures via Flickr which seems to have lost the html link option; so what could be bette...
The "Looking Back on 2015" survey in survey time
I did this one last year about this time, so think I’ll do it again. Always good to have a review of the year. And always good to get the new year off to a writing start. What did you do in 2015...
