London Sky

They say it rains in London; it does. In fact, I have used an umbrella at least ten times in my two and half years.

The Water is Wide

‘The water is wide/I cannot cross o’er/nor have I wings to fly/Build me a boat/that can carry two/and both shall row/my love and I.’ (The Water is Wide; Scottish folk song)

Monty on Monday

What is better to receive on Monday than photos of handsome men?!

The Perfect Pancake

We were in search of the perfect pancakes so we decided to inspect The Diner in Angel, Islington. I like the atmosphere. It’s busy, but not crowded. The staff are friendly but cool… The filter coffee is just what my doctor ordered. If you come early, and stay long enough, you can start with breakfast,…

Presents!

Drew brought me presents from Helsinki, Finland! Yes, it does seem a little childish to be excited about coloring books, but I can’t think of a better thing to do than color after a Sunday lunch at the pub. (I was never one to be wild.) And don’t they go nicely with these lovelies from…

Nice to Meet You, Harrogate!

Sometimes work takes you to a very lovely place!

My Own Bed

MMMmm.. Bed. What a nice thought.

Titbits and Rambling

I am on another secret mission with my super secret Scientist job… Google Earth me now!

When Drew is Away

Two for tea. (‘Tea’ meaning dinner, not tea. Yeah, I don’t get it either.)

I’ll Be There Now In a Minute

My super secret job sent me on a mission to Cardiff, Wales. It was almost like home.

A Sign of Life

We might be getting old, but we have proof that we made it to Wembley Arena for the Foo Fighter’s first gig in two years…

Times Like These

You are just going to have to trust me on this one.

Roll On Weekend

The weekend is welcome to start any old time now…

Dinner in Wales

The hills are alive! Not in a creepy way, though–it’s gorgeous.

February 23, 2011

Dr Who, Where Are You?

Please send Drew some love. And wish us sweet dreams. It’s hard to sleep alone.

Other People’s Children

Girls in wacky tights look good in photos with babies.

Everybody Hurts

Tongue Tied and Tired

There are days when my own words won’t take shape. On those days I find myself clinging to the words of others… Today it’s Chris Rice’s turn.

Lollipop People

Yield

Let it speak; listen in earnest. And then let it go.

Hugs and Kisses

Dear parents everywhere, Please tell your kids not to fret over Valentine’s Day – the day of the stiff Jell-o hearts and lollipop exchange cards… Please tell your kids that the best is still coming. If you don’t mind, let them know that you didn’t marry the person you liked in fourth grade. And you…

A Man’s Heart

It may not be the sure fire way to his heart, but I am willing to try.

Happy Birfday to Me

Thanks to Sarah Kramer, I have faith in vegan cake for the masses.

Between You and Me

I call it like I see it. But that’s easy when things are so clearly black and white.

365

He’s really quite good. And he is mine.

Much Ado

It is pretty inspiring to spend time with people who are so energetic about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. They aren’t just dreaming it; they are feet first! May it rub off on me…

Songs About Jane

My beautiful friend Jane doesn’t use lots of mushy words, but she does find other ways to say exactly what she means. Thanks Ma’am.

Like Rabbits

Happy New Year, now give me my red envelope!

Yes Please

A few blocks North of the Camden Passage tourist’s check-box hot spot eatery, Angel has hidden a fab new pub in plain sight. The Wenlock and Essex serves a selection of Camden Town’s finest brews, but they don’t stop there. One of your top five favorite frosty beverages is sure to be on offer. And…

Jane’s Balls

It’s really important not to take for granted the ground you stand on.

Why is it that the more questions I ask, the less I know?

Placebo Effect

Paying the rent is often mistaken as a sign of happiness.

The Last Straw

Funny how the pieces fall into place, innit?

Signs

I saw the sign – it opened up my eyes… Wait, no. That’s not how it happened at all.

The Only Thing Constant is Change

I can’t bring myself to write a Resolution that’s unattainable, but I can’t move forward without asking more of myself. And I am also still on pain medication.

Run Over by a Truck

This post is brought to you by Tylenol with Codeine. And Nurse Drew.

Baby It’s Cold Outside

We should have been on a 12:05pm flight from London Heathrow to Chicago O’Hare, but we were not.

Missing: One Pumpkin

Put a little bread on your butter and enjoy. Life is too short not to take full advantage of the day.

So Much to Say

The more there is to say the more trouble I have saying it.

A Song For You

Angels walk among us; I know because one of them sent me spoons.

The Sun Will Come Out

Tomorrow. Or the next day. I think.

Going the Distance

Maybe we weren’t adventurous enough to climb the lions… But we did chat with some hipsters from the East side – one fine artist, one fashion designer. I think that was more interesting, really.

Just Do It

What a beautiful day for a bus tour?!
