Company’s coming…
Trudy! I love you, but you sure do shed a lot. Mr. DJ’s youngest brother and family are coming tomorrow morning. Gotta tidy up around here. It’s a short day for Roxi–early dismissal–and she promised to help. What a good girl! By the way, the photo above is one I took for an e-course I’m [...]
Snow, snow, hidely-ho
Trudy wishes Stella, Edward, Molly and Josey could come to play. Snow is so fun! I made this video yesterday, btw. No snow predicted for tomorrow. But there is more snow in the forecast for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Mr. DJ took the Eurostar to the Continent yesterday afternoon. He gave up on the airport, especially [...]
Monday ramblings
If you’ve read this blog for a while, you know about my ongoing love of bikes in Europe, specifically in The Netherlands. I saw this sad little bicycle in London along the Thames a couple of weekends ago. Poor thing. I have photos of happier bikes here and here. We went to a nearby garden [...]
The milkman doesn’t ring at all
One litre of fresh milk was waiting for me on my front step early this morning. Roxi is enchanted by this service. Hey David, the milkman doesn’t ring the bell at all when he drops off my groceries. I’m also sorry to report that I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Jack Nicholson either ;-) And Pigtown-Design, no [...]
Texas Bound
What a weekend! We celebrated our own little Christmas here on Saturday. We gave each other a bunch of books, so after a pokey three hours of opening presents and brunching, we spent the rest of the day reading and taking it easy. Sunday we took Trudy to the doggy spa, packed (oh, what a [...]
Random stuff, Roxi, and more random stuff
Frost earlier this morning, taken with “the 50″. Random stuff Boy, yesterday sure got away from me. I was going to go into town to see the Rothko exhibit at the Tate Modern with my new friend Kathy. However, a sore throat the night before made me change my mind. I am fine now. Emm [...]
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 [...]
New Recipes and Another Blogger Meet :-)
I cannot stop thinking about Steamy Kitchen’s Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn and Pepitas and Homesick Texan’s Corny Dogs. I think I’ll make the corn dogs for my husband on Friday for our Halloween date since Roxi has a school dance/sleepover. She doesn’t like hot dogs, and to be honest, I’m not crazy about them either, but I’ll [...]
Time Out Country Walk #24: Cookham (Round Walk)
Ah, a photo-heavy post. You’ll excuse me while I indulge in one. You see, I haven’t posted a lot of photos lately as I’ve been a little burned out with my camera. But this beautiful walk deserves these photos. I took 223 pictures yesterday and narrowed down my selection quite a bit as you can [...]
Such fine weather
`Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING–absolute nothing–half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing,’ he went on dreamily: `messing–about–in–boats; messing—-’ Ratty, Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Photo taken by Mr. DJ on his walk two weeks ago. This is the River Wey near Guildford. This week [...]
