Afternoon

OMG. I never noticed before.... I use 'awesome' all the time.

The sun is gone. Bummer.

Hope everyone is having/had a good day!

I ran away from work and am now intermittently reading and snoozing in a big comfy leather chair in the main university library. I feel cozy on this wet, grey day!

Today has been surprisingly sunny!

I also met by random chance in the street today someone I haven't seen since I was 16 and now he's been ordained and is living in my hometown... small world.

And today Mark met with the pastor and made a tentative wedding date of 6th September - so I'm hoping we can keep to that date!

Oh, sounds blissful! One of the main life goals that Alex and I share is to eventually have a big enough house that we can designate one room as being solely the 'library' and have two big leather reading chairs.

I hope that you can, too!

Oh oh oh!! I want a library too!! I have sooo many books and I want it to be like Dumbledore's office

[Alex & Rachel 78]

I have a fair few books, too - of course the problem is that they're all here, in the UK! I'm going to be getting rid of all the ones I definitely won't re-read, although I'm also going to keep quite a few - it'll be more economical to ship across a couple of boxes than to sell them and then buy new copies once I'm in the US.

The library's the one room for which I have a definite vision in mind...floor-to-ceiling bookcases, leather reading chairs, a large wall map, and I'd like a free-standing globe, too...a fireplace would complete the setting, although it'd also be redundant in California.

Fireplaces are cool, nonetheless...I want one too, and I'm in FL!!!

They've introduced a new style of police check - it's only valid for 6 months and costs £35 (but you receive it within 10 days instead of the usual 40 or so).

I know they are officially only valid for a month but doesn't it say on the London Embassy web site somewhere they accept them as valid for 12 months, or have they changed that.

[bakofoil 27]

It does indeed say they are valid for 12 months.

of course that was meant to read "I know they are officially only valid for 6 months"

Oh I missed that

Morning!

Well, the sun is in hiding as we expected today. But I am happily guzzling down a strong cup of Peet's coffee reading the news!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Good morning!

Yeah...overcast here, too. Maybe I'll go and make a green tea.

I know that sometime in the future Alex would like to move to another state - he has his eye on Washington. I'm really not so sure, though - I've been dreaming of all the Californian sunshine! I was hoping to stay away from grey clouds and rain for a while.
