It was a rainy Sunday afternoon...

...and how is it that I can't make a single weekend plan and have it stick? Work was flummoxed yesterday morning when the server went down, chores in town were flummoxed by laziness and a desire to finish The Kashmir Shawl, I've not yet preserved a single lemon, and then everything I was going to do to catch up this morning was flummoxed when what would normally have been an hour's chat with my mum on the phone turned into three and a quarter hours!

During the course of that three and a quarter hours, as well as wandering through mum and dad's old photos (her via photo albums, me via folders with scans of the photos made by my sister in no apparent order and with no regard for chronology/any writing on the back) and just being interested, I glanced at some old family tree notes from over a dozen years ago and saw that a third cousin of mine married into the van Niekirk family... (she later divorced him... *g*)

On top of all that, I've barely set foot out of the house all weekend, and having decided that I must get some exercise today, every time I look out the window it's raining...

Can I be here now, please?


Oh, or failing that - where shall I go for a brief but sunnily exotic break in March? Which is, after all, why I've kept on with more than just my boring day job... Where, where where? Where would you go? Where shall I go? I need to make actual plans so that I go somewhere! Thoughts? Recommendations? *g*

Lol - I'm afraid that Barcelona is actually quite high on my list at the moment, having come across Gaudi's work last year, when I never had before... I've never been particularly fussed about Spain to be honest - until I saw his buildings... *g*

Sardinia I've never thought of though - well, except of course for the nuarghes which I know all about, because I'm an archaeologist... *g* I had a friend once who thought I was a qualified helicopter pilot, on the basis that I'd once said I wanted to go up in one. Must be the way I tell 'em... *g*

I think I remember the discussion about Gaudi, actually - you had posted a picture of one of his apartments in a collage of vividly coloured photographs.

Ah, well, you see, obviously you would know about flying helicopters. It's being an archaelogist. I have seen Time Team, I know you all have to go up in the air and look down at the landscape! So it all hangs together. Yes :)

Yes, he came up a few times I think - and moth2fic sent me some gorgeous photos to dream about...

Wish I had been able to fly a helicopter... though I did get to fly in one finally, and loved it! *g*
