Organ recital on Klais organ at Bath Abbey. Adan, you would have loved it!
4th best restaurant in England, per the sidewalk sign. It was pretty good.
Gainsborough lived here. Yes, THAT Gainsborough
Bath Book Fair, where I casually browsed 1st edition books worth 500 BPS
There were 2 of this “Peacock” P&P edition: different book sellers, but both charged 375 BPS. Or was it 575?
Several of these: lots of Rackham illustrated books. This one only 100BPS
2016
I learn they gutted
My 1893 house.
I feel gutted too.

2015
The fire alarm works
In the Conference hotel.
Waiting for my keys.

Um, no Facebook goons,
I do NOT want to see pix
Of my ex-husband.
After 30 years
Of working with abused books,
I've learned how to heal.
2013
I never met her,
But she's a huge part of him.
Is that why I grieve?

I forgot to take
The antidepressant pill. Twice.
Why am I weepy?

2011
I have dog biscuits
In my pocket, so I share
With the choc'late labs.
I knit him a hat
For our anniversary.
We walked on the beach.
2009
Glowing fall colours, 
An impressionist painting. 
Leaves are raining down.

2017 A lovely day 2 days avoiding Giants and Warriors fans: We're total tourists. 2016 Hazy skies to the south: I watch them turn dull grey pink. There's a fire somewhere. 2014 I glean shells and smile At a fellow beachcomber, And he shakes my hand. Luminous skyscape: We watch it change and she talks Of her grandparents. Buoyed by the green waves, Putting feet down to jump high For the seventh one. 2013 Crafty coworkers Who share their skills: so nice. I must learn this one. My heart works just fine, Thank you. Please stop crawling up The drain, cockroaches. Hey Portland friends...Eric McFadden is playing the Waterfront on 7/5...totally worth the trip. (He opened for Tedeschi Trucks here in ABQ last night. I think I first saw Tedeschi at the Waterfront over 10 years ago...cycle of musical life)

2019 in Droitwich An insipid morn. Sometimes my coffee tastes brown Instead of earthy After two rain days, The sun is again welcome Time to pollinate 2018 in Tijeras Another game day: She tries tabu tugs of war, And then gives it up. 2017, in Claremont The yapper love fest: Keeping me from my coffee And swapping dog spit. Eewww. Awwww. 2014 I'm irritated By implied criticism. I don't have to be. 2012 I needed to find Insomnia's antidote.... I made some glow art! 2010 Can't wait to return To the conclave. I find that I miss my viol. Research says, eating Blue cheese produces strange dreams. What explains last night's? 2009 Two nights ago, I watched a Judge Judy episode about a kid's game called "sack tap." Today, I saw it in action. Life imitating law? I write haiku on my commutes and dog walks: 1. Crimson-orange horns, Drooping on spiky fronds. A bee crawls inside. 2. We walk carefully Under off-white, steel-blue skies, Mindful of th

2019 Wandering around Worcester  Swan sanctuary The Hive: the joint library of the University and the town Walk up to the Cathedral Eat at Bill’s The old library, now a museum/gallery Narrow houses Evensong at Worcester cathedral 2017 Hummingbird burst Huntington Gardens Huntington museums Huntington Library exhibits (Octavia Butler notebooks) Norton Simon Museum 2016 Isotopes game After a bag of Cotton candy, I feel sick. Memories betrayed. I love Marge He would rather talk To Homer than talk to me. I do not blame him. Isotopes don't win. Somewhere over the rainbow They might. Not tonight. 2014 I wake up early And suddenly notice how The sun has shifted I am shocked to learn My nephew has "abandoned" Pride and Prejudice. 2009 In the absence of pen and paper, I transcribed bus haiku into my phone; how do i download it? It's the next level of illiteracy. I can read and write, but I can't transmit. Funny how each advance creates more ignorance.
