Let’s keep it short.<\/p>\n

I beat the bugs … so far. I went shopping but bought no bug spray. I took my chances … did I really<\/em> need poisonous bug killing spray that I’d use at most once? Today? No swarms of bugs … one or two stragglers are left but for now that’s it. There was, it seems, that one batch. Where they came from, I know not.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today: Lunch with Mike (Mediterranean), Coffee with Mike (Fair Trade), and my own little shopping and library excursions.<\/p>\n

As for the shopping, we dropped by the Digital Outpost and looked at voice recorders, but it turns out that none under $100 have USB connectivity … so you’re basically stuck with your voice recordings on the the recorder … no audio files to transfer. One could<\/em> turn the headphones jack into an audio out to the audio-in of a laptop, but my laptop has no audio in … so that’s no use. Later I went to Walgreens to get spare shoe laces to take with me, some sewing stuff (buttons), and some eye-glass wipes.<\/p>\n

As Mike and I walked past Pel Meni we saw Angela and Steve so stopped in to chat for a bit; when we were at Fair Trade Jen and Jenny came by. Jen got the William and Mary job, so, assuming she takes it, the living-with-Christoph option is back on. Plus, her PAship will become available, so I need to send her my c.v. … and, there is the LSS PAship for which I need to apply … I need money next year, after all.<\/p>\n

My recording of “Keeping Mum” likes to repeat a scene from just past the middle, during which Patrick Swayze meets Kristin Scott Thomas during lunch with Maggie Smith.<\/p>\n

I saw the movie with Jen and Jenny after shopping and going to 4-Star last night … highly recommend<\/em> … very funny. Quite British. Black. A bit low-key. Rowan Atkinson in it as well.<\/p>\n

Today: more of The Beatles. I won’t finish before leaving, I suspect. Need to pack. My day was otherwise uneventful … and yet post I must!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
