  • gypsy’s warning

    A quiet word to an employee or aquaintance, suggesting that they’d best proceed with caution in respect of their current conduct or attitude, or they may be in for an unpleasant surprise. The details of which aren’t actually set out by the giver of the warning, who may or may not have control over their…

  • A Tradition Begins

    Word of the Day: Minging (rhymes with ringing) Offensive, disgusting (I left a glass of milk on my desk for a few days and it is minging.) Thing I miss: color guard rehearsal and winter programs camps I am not sure why I am feeling so very tired.  Maybe it’s the cooler weather or the…

  • Fabulous Friday the 14th

    A beautiful sunny morning gave way to a cloudy afternoon; it was blustery all day, but the temperature was so yummy that I opened the windows and turned off the heat.  I may have been a bit lazy today, but I still managed to get out and enjoy the gorgeous weather.  I also spent a…

  • It’s around the corner to the right, you’ll see it.

    There is nothing like giving directions to strangers that makes you feel really at home.  So far, I think I’ve been stopped about five times that I was able to point someone in the right direction.  I’m home, yo.  (Thanks, Mrs. 007, for so brilliantly reviving this old favorite.) Words of the Day: Sponge, Fairy…

  • What Would the Queen Do?

    I find myself with an evening to myself and it causes to me to wonder what the Queen might do–with a free evening, of course.  I have no delusions that I understand the Queen’s daily schedule and all it entails.  In any case, the Queen might be jealous that I have plans to make a…

  • She wore her red shoes…

    Word of the Day: Pudding In most cases, a dessert.  Upon further research, I think almost everything is pudding.  Or is a pudding.  Or is gross sounding. In lighter news: I don’t know of much else in the world that makes this girl happier than having happy-in-their-tennis-shoes feet. It’s not always stylish and it is…

  • …but there was a storm!

    Word of the Day: Knackered (slang) Tired, unfit to work. That’s not how I feel today, though!  We went to bed a little early last night, but there was a storm!  I am not sure how long we thought the roof might be blown off.  It wasn’t scary; it sure was noisy though. Today I…

  • Pancake Day!

    Well, after four hours of traipsing all over this side of the city, we have a power strip and voltage adapter.  We do not have a mixer, cake pans, tennis shoes, or a USB handset for our Skype phone.  We did write down some information from a recruitment agency we passed.  We found some cool job postings…

  • It’s Pretty Official

    When you join the local library I think it’s official that you live in the area.  And we do.  Who are we, again? We picked up two movies to enjoy later, but while we were at the Barbican we wandered through a very interesting exhibit that seemed interactive–it was so complicated that I couldn’t tell…

  • Uncommon

    Word of the Day: Prawn Basically, shrimp. Today’s Most Missed Thing: my mixer   You know what’s strange?  The baking section in city grocery stores is very small, if it exists.  I wonder if people don’t have time, don’t have space, don’t have space to store the tools, don’t like cake, or generally get confused…

  • Camping in the Big Wild City

    Living in our cool new flat in London, which seems pretty modern and art deco in the photos, is not entirely unlike camping to a very spoiled southerner.  Although we were really excited to have the big open ceiling in the living area and the cool little office space that closes off, I underestimated how…
