Virtual Office Monday 27th July

[byslantedlight]

Back to work... It was a nice weekend though, despite lots of rain yesterday. I tried to keep off the computer a bit, and give my eyes a break, but they're still complaining a bit now - and I've not even started the day's work yet. Eeep! The weekend looked like this though...

There was a lavender farm...
And a wee walk through a peaceful valley...
...until I found a neolithic longbarrow...

It was a lovely sunny day on Saturday too - perfect for the escape!

Sunday was grey and rain, rain, rain, but that was actually good too, cos I read, and cleaned and actually baked too - blackcurrant flapjack, which worked out so much better than I'd hoped! Someone gave me a load of blackcurrants, which I've never been mad on, but actually I think I could be converted... *g*

But now it's Monday, and there must be work... I'd quite like there to be some Pros too - I'm reading Larton again, as my bed-time book, and eyeing my dvds, and thinking about the lads... CI5 lads, and Victorian lads, and just... lads. *g* Maybe I should watch an ep tonight... what ep should I watch...? Suggestions please - it's so hard to choose otherwise! *g*

Today's work

That looks lovely! Why, oh why must we go back to the salt mines come Monday?

A whole farm-full of lavender, that must have smelled amazing! If only there were such a thing as rose-farms :-) ( I love the scent of roses even more). And a neolithic barrow. Wow.

I sometimes like to remind myself how almost unimaginable our way of life would seem to people of that era, and wonder if our own imaginations fall just as far short if we in turn try to dream up how people might be living in the future, after a similar lapse of time ... but I suspect that things will never be quite so unimaginable again, if only because we are now used to the idea that things change and that cultures and technologies can change radically. If we don't fuck up the planet beyond habitability ...

Good luck with work, walk and writing!

Your escape looks really great! Lavender is so beautiful... And there is a sheep! In the valley. Is there some track or did you just walk so... through wild grass?
And this neolithic longbarrow does it just stand open?! What if someone walks in there and gets... frightened? *g*
I vote for lads in the country! ;)

Ooh, the longbarrow looks interesting! Do you go all the way in? And all your scenes make me, well, not homesick since it's not my home, but something really like.

Duh, lj ate my comment again...

I love the Longbarrow, and going inside, how cool!!

We watched Backtrack because of Marge, and Not a very civil civil servant and another Ep from Season two with one word and B....

But Larton is wonderful, too!
