Virtual Office Out-of-Office Wednesday!

[byslantedlight]

I know it looks like I'm late to the office, but I decided to escape the dull and hum-drum today, and today the city of Wells is my office! I'm currently sitting in the library, in the exceedingly warm and stuffy half-loft, and despite having had breakfast out, a wander around Wells, and lunch sitting on a bench by the wee moat surrounding the Bishop's Palace, I'm already a third of the way through my work. See - if I leave the house, I get so much more done... *g*
Although I could do without this headache... again already... rats! That'll teach me to spend the night before on a ProsWatch...

How're you doing? *g*

COOL!!!

It looks so nice and cool in the picture, we are being fried again today, it's horrendous!

I feel so happy for you, getting on with your work!
Looks like you need a place you can call office, not office/kitchen/livingroom....though office/library is a mix too, but so much more

It was nice - but I turned out to be rubbish after all, cos I had to come back home before I'd finished work when my parking ran out, and then it took ages to get back into proofreading, and it was nearly half past ten before I finally got it done again... *headdesk*

I do think getting out to work is the way to go though, so I shall try it again! It'd be nice to have home as *home* sometimes, not work too... There's just no satisfying me, is there! Really it'd be nice to have less dull work!

Erk for being fried! It was actually pretty warm here too - I wandered around in my sleeveless dress - but the evening was cooler and felt lovely and refreshing...

How wonderful to be in Wells on a day like today. I love the moat area. Planning a day trip there this summer - depends on whether P's knee improves enough for him to walk around. *FC*

I do like Wells - and the moat area is so peaceful with its serene swans! I shall cross fingers for P's knee too - and ack, cos I didn't even realise he was having problems with it the other day. Nothing too serious, I hope...

I've never been to Wells. Are there wells?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yes! There are totally wells! They're in the Bishop's Palace, and it's all very pretty and of course they're terribly ancient. Hmmn, I was going to say there were seven, but Wiki tells me:
The name Wells comes from three wells dedicated to Saint Andrew, one in the market place and two within the grounds of the Bishop's Palace and cathedral. A small Roman settlement surrounded them, which grew in importance and size under the Anglo-Saxons when King Ine of Wessex founded a minster church there in 704.
I didn't know there was one in the market place too, although the place is riddled with those square drains that look far too easy to break an ankle (or a car wheel) in, so it makes sense that there's a well where all the water comes from... Wonder where I got seven wells from...? *g* (Okay, I googled again - apparently "seven wells" is a thing, a kind of superstition-y thing, and there are actually 'seven wells' names in the Somerset limestone area, so I must have picked it up somewhere along the way! Love brains... *g*
