Evening in Trafalgar Square, London.
On the left is the National Art Gallery, and in the distance the steeple of St Martins in the Field.
Inspired by Ren A's superb lake shots, i gave this a tiny tweek. Taken in early spring this year. There is a small single track road that runs past this dis-used reservoir, so anyone hoping it might be an ideal dogging location, will be sadly disappointed. LOL.
Jean and Moses were thick as thieves last night, preferring the
company of each other to the chit-chat of boring adults mulling over
the political situation in Afghanistan. It brought tears to my eyes
to see them cracking up over his new favorite book series Diary of a
Wimpy Kid. They were having so much fun, in fact, that 7:45 came and
went with no one remembering that a certain 6 year old had to be put
to bed. When we finally noticed the time, they seemed too engrossed
to disturb them. Finally, at 9:15, we called a time-out and forced
the situation.
The Abrahamsons have reduced their meat intake to twice a week at
most. When we do eat meat, we make it the best we can buy (best being
a relative term that either means "organic" or means so freakin' good
we don't care what's in it). Tonight's impromptu gathering
necessitated a trip to the store for the good stuff. Jean's eating
habits have wavered over the months and we know her intake of
vegetables and good protein ebbs and flows with her memory of the last
time she ate. So we went for Waygu (American Kobe Beef) and grilled
up some serious burgers. We served them with sauteed mushroom and
pasilla chiles, and all the fixins worth piling on a burger. Some
crunchy snap peas dressed with sesame oil and soy sauce, and a little
cole slaw rounded out the meal. A good culinary time was had by all.
Jean wasn't quite sure what she was eating at first or how to eat the
burger, but Moses lead the instruction as only a 6 year old can: "You
don't even have to use a fork, Meema. You just pick up the whole
thing in your hands." He showed her how to spread the toasted bun
with chipotle mayonnaise and mustard, and she tucked right in. We
took a chance and gave her a 1/2 lb. burger, figuring the human vacuum
cleaner next to her would finish whatever she left. He didn't get the
chance.
With a little trepidation, we broached the subject of Mexico with her,
hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. "If you think I can
afford it, let's do it," she said. "You buy the tickets and I'll pay
you back." WOW. That was easy. Naturally, we're prepared for her to
be medically unable to make the trip, but at least this year it won't
cost us six grand to make the arrangements.
As grandson and grandmother were huddled together on the couch, we
whispered about her hygiene, which has become noticeable (not in the
good way). She's beginning to smell, either because her olfactory
glands are going (as they will) and she doesn't know to dry clean her
clothes, or she forgets to shower altogether, or -- as we've seen --
she forgets to use soap when she does shower. We plan to make a
discreet trip to the house, fill the shower with liquid soap (she
tends to forget to use the bar soap), and make a trip to the dry
cleaners. Hoping that will do it. Certainly, it wasn't worth
bringing up on such a wonderful evening!
Jean carried with her her new book, Franklin and Lucy. She's excited
for the book club and wants to get a jump on the reading. It's
doubtful she'll finish it, given her difficulty even reading the liner
notes on the back cover, but it gives her something to look forward
to, and that's always good. We are considering creating a Moses
Reading Club, with two members in it. She had so much fun with Moses,
and the books (on the NY Times Bestseller List) are that perfect happy
medium that makes them easy for her to understand, that we think a
weekly "meeting" might be just the thing for both of them.
Like I said, it was a perfect evening.

This is one of the most cliche shots that most ppl with a camera would take when going through this area - Yarra River. :)

I got lucky today, because I not only saw a beautiful sight when I first went out this morning, but also a beautiful sight as I was getting home from work. This is basically the only spot in my front yard that I can take a picture without getting all of the power lines. I thought it turned out pretty, though.

This is the yellow satin lining for the evening bag. I am embroidering a message to the recipient upside down inside the top so she can read it when she opens the bag.
I printed it out in Helvetica and measured to see if it filled the space properly. This is the printout hand kerned and pinned to the fabric. Then I traced it on Sulky Printable Water-Soluble Fabri-Solvy, folded it in half and creased it, peeled off the backing and pasted the crease on to the center seam.
Running stitch down the middle of the letters. Then trim away extra Solvy carefully, and dunk fabric in cold water 15 minutes to dissolve embroidery template.

Taken across an open field in Rogersville, Mo, near Springfield, my home town. We've been visiting here more than a week. What a gorgeous area. Traveling with intermittent internet service. Hard to communicate.
This is a surfboat - not much used in rescues any more, but used in competition between surf clubs. The female boat crew is out for some inshore practice in the evening on Pittwater, Sydney Australia.
I took a ton of pictures today and a bunch of them were during golden hour..so fun! :) Hopefully I'll be able to get the rest uploaded soon!
It wasn't me! They knew I was there and were curious, but deemed me harmless. This was part of their own evening games.
