Monday ramblings
Shopping Well, I did my part to bolster the UK economy today. I went to a neighboring town for a bit of holiday shopping. FOUR HOURS of holiday shopping. And you know what? There were TONS of people out today. On a Monday! I’ve been to this shopping center twice over the last two weekends, [...]
Thanksgiving menu and other food thoughts
I am feeling better today. I got a lot of planning done this weekend, plus it SNOWED yesterday! Ok, it was snow/sleet and not very much of it, but it was pretty while it lasted. In Thanksgiving news, Roxi and Mr. DJ voted the turkey off our menu in favor of a “Honey Baked” ham. [...]
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Near our flat in Krakow. I’m pretty sure those signs say, “Danger–Holidays Ahead”. I am feeling a bit like sleeping beauty here. Can someone please tell me how it got to be November 21 ALREADY?? The middle and upper school band concert last night was so fun. Thank goodness they didn’t play Christmas carols, as that [...]
Today is one of those days I wish we had a fireplace
Trudy in front of a snug little cottage not far from where she likes to run. Doesn’t it look like Snow White must live there? Taken on my Blackberry Pearl. I finally am feeling just about normal! I got sick on Oct 31 with a sore throat, fever, cough, and eventually laryngitis for four days. Roxi, on the [...]
“I eat ham and jam… and Spam a lot!”
If you hadn’t guessed already, we went to go see Spamalot on Friday in London. Photo taken on my Blackberry Pearl. I am a bit stumped as to what to tell you about this Tony Award-winning musical! I can see how Roxi had a hard time coming up with anything other than “I nearly fell [...]
This beautiful weather can’t last, I just know it can’t
Over our back fence. England. This pampas grass is so pretty this time of year, especially when the light hits the feathery tips just right. When I was in elementary school, my mother took me to an allergy doctor to find out all the things I was allergic to. It turned out that in addition [...]
Weekend wrap up and other random stuff
Eh, don’t get too excited, we actually had a very laid back weekend. Both Roxi and Mr. DJ were tired, so we pretty much just did nothing all weekend. It was great! Roxi found out that she was selected to play Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn in her school’s Fall musical, “The Music Man, Jr”. I think [...]
West End Muscial Reviews: “Zorro” and “Spamalot”
I asked Roxi to write the reviews again this time. We went to Zorro with our friends S and Y. Roxi went to Spamalot with Mama DJ, who popped in for a visit at just the right time! [Caution: contains spoilers] Zorro the Musical Garrick Theatre, London. Photo by me on Roxi’s Nikon Coolpix L6 [...]
First day of 8th grade and Buckingham Palace
Roxi started school bright and early on this cool, overcast day. She was so excited! Registration went well yesterday. She met lots of new friends and hooked up with old ones. We’re not the new kids on the block this year. It’s weird to think that. The school drama department head announced the musical yesterday. [...]
I’m back!
Whew, what a week! Why is it that the last few days before school starts always speed by? Today is registration, which really means a couple of hours on campus for Roxi to pick up her schedule and attend a “town hall” meeting. Today is also the day the middle school musical is announced, so [...]
