{reading} Further adventures of Milly Molly Mandy. Third book in the series, courtesy of local secondhand book store. While I was there, I discovered a copy of Milly Molly Mandy and Billy Blunt, but I’m not sure whether that’s different stories, or just the ones with Billy Blunt in. {watching} Overboard. Unusually, this romantic comedy…

{watching} Jack Black in Gulliver’s Travels (Amazon). Turned out to be a really good #familyfilmnight choice, even though I’m not the biggest Jack Black fan in the world. Great ensemble cast though, with that guy from How I met your mother, as well as Billy Connolly, Emily Blunt and Catherine Tate. Story is somewhat truncated…
Saturday Snippets 5 July 2014
{feeling glad} to be back home. And also that I caught up on the washing before the rains set in. {missing} Kentwell nevertheless. And making plans for our next visit. {watching} NCIS. The episode where Tony diNozzo senior drops by. Very odd ending. Very odd episode. But enjoyable. (No family film night tonight, due to…
Sticky hair and other things
I have a massive backlog of book and other stuff that needs writing up. I’m sorry if you’re waiting for something in particular. I’ve been trying to be in the real world, getting real stuff done, while ignoring bits I don’t want to think about. But I couldn’t ignore the EEG appointment this morning. I…
Linen on the line and the lawn
I’ve processed 4 loads of laundry today. Clothing, bedding, towels, linens. I had so much I even laid some of it to dry on the grass. Gradually the linens are ones I’ve made. The first ones are tragic. I didn’t know about folding twice to prevent fraying. There are holes in nearly all the seams,…
Tudor child, Kentwell hall 1578
He is so very beautiful, that Tigerboy. And I was much struck by the people who recalled him, visitors upon the manor from last year who remarked upon his growth 🙂
Every man is born as many men, and dies as a single one.
No, I’m not sure what it means either, but I liked it. It was at the end of tonight’s episode of NCIS – Seasons 1-8 Box Set [DVD](affiliate). We’re on season 7, I think, so still a fair bit of catching up to go. It was somewhere around here though that I stopped watching a…
Sunday sunshine.
Yesterday the open day, today sewing day, both at Kentwell Hall. The weather was utterly glorious, bakingly hot. Snatched a bit of time to explore with the younger children – it’s very odd going round while it’s so empty, I kept imagining I could see Tudors out of the corner of my eye… If the…

{Visiting} Kentwell Hall. Absolutely glorious weather for the second open day, held out on the barnsward. {Refitting} Big’s toile. Sigh. I know it is good news that her back is straighter. But, another set of tweaks and I’m very worried that whatever I do it just won’t be comfortable for her. {Reading} where are you…
