Day Twenty Six - Wimpole and work

[byslantedlight]

Two things have made me happy today. First of all, just now, finally finishing a whole day's (well, more than a day's actually) work and getting it sent off - yeay! No photo, but yeay!

And then this morning, for which I have this picture:I was off at Wimpole again, this time doing a house induction, which meant I got taken around all rooms on the "tourist route" and told about them, which was very cool. It was before the hall was opened up too of course, so the dim quiet of the day, with shutters closed and everything sleeping still... *g* It's all very cool, with missing windows and secret doors (not that they go to secret rooms), and the servants doors covered in red baize on their side so that they knew they were about to go into a part of the house frequented by the family, and there are special tours that volunteers can go on to see all the other rooms that aren't open to the public - I'm so going on one of those! It's so nice to do "doing history" again, I didn't realise how much I missed it - even if I won't get paid for it. And then when I'd finished, I went out, and the rain had briefly stopped, and the world smelled all green and of flowers and fresh air and summer - and there was this rose, sitting cheerfully by the door to the gardens!

Oh no! Three! Three things! I finished Fairs' Point too (which is also a sad thing, so I immediately started re-reading it... just occasionally that happens... *g*). It's fab - I do rather like it... *g*

Hope your Wednesday's been good, even if it may well have been wet...
