Another tough day in paradise here…. I’m really astonished: I’m having essentially no jetlag. I fell asleep last night about 9:30, out solid (no surprise there); woke up briefly around 1:30 and then for about an hour around 4, but went back to sleep both times, and got up at 8:30 for the day, feeling […]

So the taking-photos-with-un-internet-enabled-iPhone thing works. Clunkily, and kind of stupidly, but it works. To wit: Auntie and Refreshing Wine: Auntie’s Front Door: Yes, I’m still awake. La la la. Dinner soon! 🙂
I can’t believe I’m actually upright and coherent, but here I am at my aunt’s beautiful country home, a delicious glass of wine by my side, and I’m thinking I may even be able to stay awake until something resembling a normal bedtime. (Although I may not be as coherent as I think I am…I
I think I’m about ready…got all the laundries done and the plants watered and the house-caring arranged and the bags (kinda) packed and and and…. It’s only a week and a half. No big whoop, right? 🙂 La Enigma and her Consort fed me a lovely dinner this evening, which was very kind of them,

Sorry for no posting yesterday. Plans keep changing. After the busy-busy-busy weekend, it was decided that there needed–just NEEDED–to be some down time. So Mark didn’t go home on the train yesterday after all, but hung around here; and I’m going to Seattle with him tomorrow afternoon, for Foolscap this weekend. And then–jeez!–I’m going to
