Wieder dahoam

My parents celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary on Sunday. The traditional gift for 35 years is coral, but I chose to give them Driving Me To Stansted Airport instead.

I’ve been expecting a visitor – almost a member of the family, you might say. I was expecting her to come and stay for a few days a week ago, which was fine. We could have our fun and then she’d go and I’d head off to Salzburg. Except that was too easy. Her plans [...]

7 things I felt you should know

Lindy has tagged me for a meme and it is her deepest desire that I reveal 7 things about myself. 1. I’m going out tonight. I don’t know where. For that is apparently how surprises work. I’m gonna wear something tastefully spangly and fully intend to kick up my heels wherever I end up. 2. [...]

The Final Harvest

Kinda like the Last Supper, only Jesus didn’t show up. He never does when there’s heavy lifting to be done. My vegetable patch now stands empty, but for the markers showing where the garlic will be emerging.
