Testing posting from the iPad! We walked our feet off today. After sleeping roughly 13 hours. 🙂 Here’s some photos, maybe: Yesterday’s beer. A big blue chicken. Me, by the Thames. Big Ben! Wow, this is clunky…I miss my computer. Wish I hadn’t forgotten my power cord! Oh we’ll, at least we’re having fun. 🙂

London, we are in you. It was one of the most comfortable international flights I’ve ever been on, in coach anyway. The plane was less than half full; we each had our own aisle to stretch out in. So we actually got a couple hours of sleep. Unfortunately, I cannot show you the picture I

Almost there! The to-do list is looking pretty scribbled-out; today was a day of All The Errands. Plus planting tulips. Because who doesn’t plant bulbs the night before leaving the country? We’ve got a line on a taxi service that offers a flat-rate charge from London to Brighton for SO MUCH LESS than shipping just

The Continuing Saga of the Large Package: I think we’re zeroing in on a workable plan. We’ve arranged a taxi service to take us from the airport to the flat in London, with a big enough vehicle for us and the luggage and the prints. So that part’s taken care of; we won’t be struggling

One week till we fly to London. I’ve crossed a couple of major items off the To Do List Of Doom in the last couple of days; yet somehow, the list doesn’t seem to get smaller. There are lots of little things proliferating, like mushrooms after a rain…I think tomorrow will be a day for

In honor of: -Mark’s moving in -and our Domestic Partnership -and us heading off to England and then Orcas Island -and Miss T coming to stay here while we’re gone -and Mark finishing recording the Book of Joby audiobook just the other day -and all my publishing goings-on (anthology, collection, Eel River, just for starters)

I got kicked in the face in yoga last night. I bet you didn’t know yoga was a dangerous contact sport! Also running can be! But if you use the right gear like the Vessi Footwear then you are all good! Well, sometimes it is, anyway. We were doing partner-assisted handstands, and my partner, Miss

The moving-in continues. I posted on Facebook how my delightful new Official Domestic Partner not only knows how to make this– –but he can quickly turn it into this: Like before I’ve even had coffee. And he’s organizing the kitchen right now as we speak. (WELL above and beyond the pot-rack I told you about
