It’s an 8 Minute Walk to the Grocery Store
For all of you who have asked… The grocery store is the only place I shop here. There are a few little boutiques, a few realtors, a few banks, a butcher, a convenience store, two cafe/tea places, two or three home decorating firms, a post office, an Indian restaurant, a Thai restaurant, a fish-and-chips place [...]
Too late for lunch, too early for tea
We had a visitor today. This beauty stopped by to say hello. She had a few things to tell us about the neighborhood (keep the music down and for goodness sake, no country music!). We offered her a noodle leftover from our lunch of grilled chicken and Mediterranean vegetable pasta. She said thank you and [...]
You can take the girl out of Texas…
One thing I didn’t realize I would miss so much is my grill. I guess I must have used it at least twice a week back in Texas. I had this really cute, really small, really cheap grill that was just the right size for the three of us. Well, this one is that baby’s [...]
At the next roundabout, take the 14th exit
I’ve a new man in my life. He’s Swedish and hunky, carries my groceries, and lets me drive. If I take a wrong turn he patiently tells me how to get back on track. Can you guess? No worries for Mr. DJ–my boy just went shopping and got us some wheels! . I did my [...]
More from Budapest

What about me, you ask?
From our walk in Windsor Great Park a couple of weeks ago. Many of you have wondered what I am up to now that Roxi is in school full time. Well, other than puttering around the house, waiting for deliveries, getting to know my computer again, and doing a bit more unpacking, not a whole [...]
From Mr. DJ: Budapest Photos
Mr. DJ went to Budapest this week and took these photos with his Blackberry. . Zwack Muzeum. Street near Mr. DJ’s hotel. More street shots. An apartment building. His hotel room. Hotel room opposite side. Bath cubicle. The “Scary Time Out Chair” at the end of the hallway. Not so scary up close. Ferfi is [...]
A Lovely Sunday Afternoon in Richmond
Just a shortish walk from the Richmond Train Station, you get to this little approach to the River Thames. You can see that things aren’t that far away… except Tower Bridge, which really was too far to walk to that afternoon. I wonder if there is a path all the way there. Might have to [...]
First Day of School
The girl started school today. She has about six more weeks before summer break… hahahaha. Seriously, she loved it and said that at some point today she forgot she was the new kid. I think that is a very nice compliment to the school and the kids there. Incidentally, she is in 7th math (accelerated) [...]
