Well, you've read the notes, the notes were all over the map, and now it is time for you to post until the all over the map cows come home.

Wednesday morning greetings!  Another blustery day in London.  We're going to Grosvenor Chapel, Regent Street, and St. Paul's Cathedral.  We were there with our group before we went to Norwich, but we're going back today for afternoon tea and to visit the shop.  We're having company here at the hotel pub this evening ;)

Tragically a helicopter crashed in central London this morning (fortunately not close to where Ginny is staying).  Helicopters have to follow the line of the river but this one hit the top of a crane and fell onto a busy road. No news of casualties yet.

Framk Loesser's original lyrics


Inchmeal, inchmeal
Measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmetic
You'll probably go far

Inchmeal, inchmeal
Measuring the marigolds
Seems to me you'd stop and see
How beautiful they are

Good morning, all.

There's a good four to five inches of snow on my world.  Oy!

What a difference between Manhattan and Connecticut. We have rain (they say it may turn to snow) but no white flakes around here.

DR Ben, my town is right on the line where, in many winter storms, it can go either way...but it usually goes the way of more snow rather than less.  If I lived even ten miles south of here, the winters would be considerably easier.

More coffee, then I must bundle up and venture out there to decide whether it's time to start about an hour of labor with the snow blower.

Good morning, all!
 
I have a quiet morning followed by meeting an old friend for lunch. I'll tidy the apartment a bit, see if I can accomplish another paragraph on the DEAREST ENEMY notes, and wait for whatever fresh developments pleasant or unpleasant land in my lap.

Good morning, all.

Vibes of warmth. It's freezing here, too.

And the Benedryl I've been taking has left me groggy.

I am wearing dark green Dockers with a light green pinstripe and a maroon pullover.

It's the revolutionary costume for the day.

It is so dark outside!  If I were asked to guess the time based on the sky today, I'd guess 7:30am.

I've got to think about a ticket for Encores! FIORELLO; I wish I liked the show more.

Driveway is cleared.  Now we are at the mercy of whatever little mix or rain comes down through the day, and FREEZES.  Overnight lows are to be in the teens and twenties for the next several nights.

Last night I found myself very tempted to jump into the next Adriana Hofstetter book, which for me is HISTORICAL SOCIETY, but I had already promised myself at least a week's breather in between them so they don't get gobbled up too quickly and run together in my mind.  But I needed something Hollywood-ish, and suddenly remembered this vintage photography site where I'd found a few choice photos in the past.  I spent some time looking at what they have on Hollywood Blvd., and there are some riches there.  Of course it only makes you want more.  But damn it all, it seems the answers to many questions are out there.  You just have to spend some decent time seeking it all out.

I'll share one very wonderful thing, at least to me personally.  I'd been coming up empty in trying to recall the name of the classical music store on the north side of the Boulevard.  Well, bless my soul, it was DeKeyser Music, and there are just a few tiny references to it on the web.  The way I learned it was seeing these photos that show Phil Harris Records.  Lo and behold, to the left of Phil Harris was the "Artisan Patio Shops" (a little old arcade), and what do I see to the left of that but the name of the music store.  I nearly jumped out of my chair.

Here are the three pictures that show Phil Harris, with the music store name seen in the aerial shot.  This site is very protective of its stuff and blocks the downloading of images, so if these links fail to work, I can repost them CinemaScope style.
