A thing I do. Specifically, I was writing to avoid looking like I wasn't eating any of the lamb-lunch. Josh took this.
From 1809-1817 Jane Austen lived in the village of Chawston, about 17 miles from Winchester. When she became ill in 1817, she took lodgings in Winchester while receiving treatment, but she was to live there, in College Street, for just a few weeks. She died on 18 July, at the age of 41, and was buried in the north aisle of the nave of Westminster Cathedral. Her novels had been published anonymously, and she was not at the time well-known as a literary figure. Her memorial stone makes no mention of her writing, but that fact was rectified by the addition of a brass plaque nearby in 1872 and a stained glass window in her honor in 1900. Although the stone is the original location of Austen's tomb, it is said by Cathedral guides that the coffin was moved "a yard or two to the right" when central heating was installed in the 1930s.
The question of why she is buried here among saints, kings, and bishops has been the subject of speculation, as you can see here: www.jasa.net.au/l&t/grave.htm. The Cathedral Web site's answer to "Why here?" is that she "greatly admired" the building (!). It also acknowledges that only four persons attended the "modest funeral." (winchester-cathedral.org.uk/history-treasures/famous-peop...) Although theories have been advanced (she was the daughter of a clergyman, "friendly intervention," etc.), I have not seen a truly satisfactory answer to why she is here, but I would be happy to be enlightened.

Going through more of my dad's WWII albums and found pieces of paper with Japanese writing which he had saved. I do not remember every seeing these before, and my son and I were quite excited when we found them. Of course I do not know what any of these papers refer too. I also found lots of money (paper bills) too.

Lifetime Dream # 138 of my list of 155: I will keep a personal journal of 3,000 pages, reflecting the many different journeys, triumphs, and struggles that I have worked through in my life. I will keep the journal in an old world texting style where every page is styled and written different from every other page.
Completed On: December 16, 2008
I was in second grade when I started my first journal. I remember the first line of the page in my mind’s eye (yes that’s they joyous part of having a photographic memory). I remember where I was when I was writing it and what I wrote about. Over the years I have had several different journals written in several different types of books and locations. I once had a journal just on my personal experiences, camping experiences, travel experiences, musical experiences, and so on… exhausting.
When the world I was living in bottomed out, I actually was NOT journaling believe it or not. It is a part of my history that I don’t really understand why I wasn’t. When the dust started to settle and my life began to have some life, light and hope to it again I started planning out my next “be all, end all journal”. I wanted one journal- not half a dozen. I wanted one written in a cool style that was consistent and in an “old world texts”.
I can still remember nights at work writing down different ideas that I wanted to incorporate in the journal; the upper and lower lines of the pages are all written in rune code… texts that have moved and inspired my life, and they are re arranged in orders that bring order within the order… it took a while to design the pages, but once they were created I had my journal…
I have touched on so many things in the first journal. I completed it in another hard time of my life in 2008, and I have since begun a new journal. I don’t write in it like I once did, but I am going to be writing more and more this year. I get so much release from writing, and especially how I’m writing them now… few could really read them or understand the code I write in… I highly suggest writing to anyone who needs release. It’s the writing that brings the release… and for the record I’ve never gone back and re-read what I wrote.
This was on a ferry going to Italy. I was sad having to leave Greece, not knowing when I could go back. Michelle and I traveled throughout Europe in 2001. It was an amazing adventure and helped me decide to stay in school and transfer to a university.

I was not able to identify the sender or the recipient of this amusing letter until, as you can see below, EastMarple1 solved the case for me! Well done and thank you! One mystery that remains, despite all the gossip this letter contains, the reason the author wrote on mourning stationery is still unknown. And what unusual writing it is--so tiny on page one that I had to use a magnifying glass to read it.

Every department store worth its salt had a tea room back in the day, and the Palais Royal was no exception. But its Fountain Tea Room, located in the basement was never as famous or popular as the tea rooms at Woodies' or Garfinckel's.

I came across this old newspaper which got damaged. While moving house. Only the front cover, the rest is perfect. I kept it for the historical value.
It was the briefest of orbits in the heady world of newspapers. The Planet on Sunday, launched by a millionaire environmentalist and travel entrepreneur, folded after only one edition this week, after its owner described it as
The Planet was dubbed the "newspaper of the future" and for Clifford Hards, 65, who made his fortune selling cheap package holidays to Eastern Europe, it was to be a national platform for his beloved environmental issues. So how did the Planet and Mr Hards' pounds 500,000 dream of a green newspaper go up in smoke?
In the best possible tradition of the media, it was over the content and "editorial differences" with his editor, Austin Mitchelson. In the first and only edition, Mr Hards who has stood unsuccessfully as an independent candidate for Parliament, set out his green agenda, calling for a reduction in international trade to reduce pollution, and suggesting that Britain was better outside the EU. But when he opened the paper, which sold 115,000 copies, he found little else to please him than the Dan Dare comic strip. The alarmist tone of some stories and the celebrity articles, television and sports coverage, were not to his taste. He said: "I feel it is better to withdraw than produce a publication that does not match the ideals of the environmental movement. I do however, appreciate how hard the staff have worked."
Among the more striking stories in Planet was the tale of a jilted gorilla who turned violent, how sun-bathing could bring on "Aids-like diseases", and how Anthea Turner's sister had been bitten by a bat.
For the 12-strong editorial team it was a disappointing end to the newspaper's brief life. Mr Mitchelson, a founder mem-ber of the Sunday Sport when it was still writing of B52s on the moon, had arrived for the first day of his editorship in buoyant mood. But at Wednesday's 10am meeting, Mr Hards arrived with his son, an accountant with his travel company, New Millennium, and said the whole venture was a mistake.
Mr Mitchelson said: "I was stunned by his decision. The publisher had seen it at every stage. Then he said no-one would buy the second edition because it was so terrible."
The staff had hoped to dent the circulation of the middle market including the Mail on Sunday and the Sunday Express. Now Mr Mitchelson is negotiating with a British backer to relaunch the Planet.

Friday 21 February 2014: Neltner Refuge (3207 m / 10 522 ft) - Tizi n'Ouanoums (3684 m / 12087 ft) - Neltner Refuge (3207 m / 10 522 ft) - Sidi Chammharouch (2350 m / 7710 ft) - Aremd / Aroumd (1920 m / 6300 ft) - Imlil (1740 m / 5708 ft) - Marrakech (مراكش)
A long day, but with an extra half hour in bed before the watch/phone alarms went off. This morning's objective was Tizi n'Ouanoums (3684 m / 12087 ft) from where, the trip notes promised, we would "look down the steep southerly face to the emerald green of the Lac D'Ifni below" - hmmmmm.
The first part of our route followed in yesterday's footsteps (literally at times) half way up the Assif n'Isouhouanem n'Ouagounss before turning due east and straight up a very steep snow slope. After a few hundred metres of side steeping ascent and a welcome breather under a bare rock buttress with magical views back down into and across the valley, a short zig zag along a scree lined path brought us out at the pass (~9.25am).
We could just about distinguish the waters of the western-most tip of the lake, but the view down was outshone by those out over mountain ridges beyond and Mt Toubkal (جبل توبقال) to the north.
Over photos of the views, album cover poses, push ups and collected Grivel yellow crampons Jagged Edges was born - and then (~10am) it was time to head back downhill to the Neltner Refuge, encountering an Eastern European couple en route who thought they were on the Toubkal path .... uh oh.
Back at the refuge by 11am, we had an early lunch (~11.20am!), then a final sort out of daypack, kitbag and layers before setting off around 12.30pm back down the valley, feeling slightly sad. Crampons on, crampons off, crampons on, crampons off.
Back at the shrine at Sidi Chammharouch (~2.50pm) as we enjoyed another glass of mint tea at the cafe Chammharouch (and used their loo to de-layer discretely) our kit was transferred from porters to donkeys which then ferried our bags plus crampons and ice axes back to Aremd. We continued our descent in the sunshine - a striking difference to the weather during our outbound walk in only a few days previously.
Having said farewell to Hussein-the-cook at Aremd (~4.20pm) we said a fond farewell to Hussein-the-guide at the top end of Imlil, rendezvousing with our minibus at the other side of town around 5pm.
A beautiful sunset over the High Atlas mountains, a stork, a flock of egrets, a Tachograph traffic fine and a count down to hot showers marked our journey back to Marrakech (مراكش), and we drew up outside the Hotel Les Trois Palmiers a little after 7pm.
Rendezvousing clean, fresh and fragrant an hour later we walked a few doors down Rue Loubane to Chez Joel at the Hotel Le Caspien where I feasted on pizza, frites and other non-Moroccan fayre washed down with beer (1 bottle of Casablanca, 1 large draught mug of Flag), serenaded by a Mark Knopfler sound-a-like.
