My N.Y.C. friend Kathy took this photo' in Garrison, New York. Oh such beauty!   Yes, she and I know that Bitter Sweet is an invasive species and should be eradicated.   But so am I, an immigrant from the U.K. in 1976.  Please, pretty please do not plan to eradicate me! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One by one the fluorescent tubes in my kitchen lighting burned out.  I lived with the increasing darkness, scarcely noticing it, until I realised the other day that "this kitchen is very dark".   The tubes were replaced today.  Oh Fiat Lux!

Sooner rather than later Mrs. May will have to bring the exit strategy she has negotiated with the E.U.  for a vote in the House of Commons.   Parliament is so divided that it's hard for me to believe that it has a de...

Zion and I were back at New College of Florida on Monday 10th. The attention hound Loving every minute Student taken photo' An indoor event this time, by request of the Library staff It's exam finals week at New College so HSSC Therapy Dog Teams were there on Monday and Tuesday as stress relievers. Z and I were on the Monday team (with two others). Z loves every bit of human attention - he was created to bring good karma to humans and * other canines alike.  He was a "hit" on Monday. My warmest thanks to the Library staff for welcoming us with open arms.   Soon after I arrived the Librarian asked where I had parked. When I identified the lot she said that I would need a temporary parking permit and brought me one.  A young man (I took him to be a student) said that if I gave him my car keys he would be glad to place the permit in my car. He did so.  I thanked him profusely and then discovered that he was the newest membe...
