Holidays, Day 2

Yesterday doesn’t count as I had gotten off the plane and was quite knackered, but there was still some fun & some frustrations.
Landed at Gatwick, which seems to be under a huge renovation. Got through Customs fairly quickly, with the Brits believing I am no threat to British National Security. So that bit was easy. [...]

Last Day in England

Met up with Mr Cantrell at St. Stephen’s Tavern near Westminster tube station at 10am and shortly thereafter Mr Squirrel sauntered in. We had a lovely breakfast at the tavern, with some time to spare to make it for a boat trip to Hampton Court.
The boat ride along the Thames was slow, but great fun [...]

In Brighton Now

… I think I shall go exploring for a bit. I am a touch peckish, what with my reaching Victoria Station 10 minutes before the train to Brighton was to leave. I’ve had so far, today, a bowl of nice high fibre cereal, a roll of winegums and some diet coke. Oh I am most [...]

Prickwillow-London-Prickwillow

Monday, Sept 15th was a fun day. Started off with the loud whining of the coffee grinder, as it appears that a certain Geeklawyer is a coffee addict. Spent the morning to just hanging out in Ruthie’s lounge, munching on some tattie scones that a certain Scottish Law Librarian (Jaffne) got me… Jaffne is Geeklawyer’s [...]

Crumpet Land

I am packed and ready to go, nearly. Just need to pour myself into some clothes and I’m good to go. I am taking with me a suitcase, a backpack and a purse. I have dedicated the backpack to items which I cannot live without if the airline loses my luggage — basically the backpack [...]

Holidays

I have started to think a little more deeply about my upcoming sojourn in the Land of Bangers & Mash.
Mr Deviant Chaperone requires two items from me – a Hello Kitty and 500ml of Maple Syrup
Lawminx – she wants a Nurse Kitty, Geeklawyer couldn’t get one while visiting Japan a few weeks ago. I can’t [...]

England it is

After much thought I have decided to forego the pleasures of the City of Lights and instead travel to the land of tea and crumpets — England. Not the United Kingdom, but England (I don’t plan on going to Scotland, N Ireland or Wales).
I shall avail myself of the opportunity to take advantage of Geeklawyer’s [...]

Ruthie’s Visit to Canada

Mistress Ruthie of Ruthie’s Law came for a visit and hols towards the end of January, for about a week. Not really going to go into details, as Ruthie herself has posted her observations on Canada.
I couldn’t join her on the ski slopes so during her time on the hills I tended to amuse [...]
