Magic Carpet Ride

Like I said in my previous post, I've been on a tour of a lot of beautiful blogs in the past few days. The ldies and gentlemen who craft and blog have uch gorgeous pages that I'm embarassed to be blogging. Not that I have done much lately. I'm going to put a few more of my England pictures on today, just because some of those nice, artistic people are visiting. ☺

Happy New Year!

We're off to a roaring start. I haven't blogged much in a long time. I've been wasting way too much time on Facebook. I played Vampire Wars for months, then gave it up. I got into Farm Town and Farmville, which took way too much time. I gave up on Farmville and kept Farm Town, but eventually decide it wasn't worth the time or effort - especially after a real-life farmer friend of mine teased me about my virtual farming....I was playing with FishWorld, but my PC wouldn't load it half the time, so I ditched it, too. I wasn't good about keeping the fish fed. And my farmer friend also is a real-life fisherman, too, so I figured telling him about my green snappers would get me more teasing. Haven't gotten any e-mails from him lately, so have thus far avoided remarks about virtual life.


Real life has been interesting - London, Birmingham and Worcester were all fascinating.

All my pictures are on Facebook, but here's one I clipped and saved - it's me mailing postcards to the States from a Letter Box in London. Most of the cards were from the British Museum and Worcester, although I bought a couple from a 7-11 type store...Did not see a lot of England - not touristy stuff, except for the Museum and the cathedral in Worcester (lots of dead people, including, according to the material I read - King John of Magna Carta fame- in the crypt and the upper cathedral itself). I took mostly bad videos of the Cathedral. I have one shot of the River Severne (never the other way around - that's American rivers) with the Worcester Cathedral in the background.

Anyway, there's a link to the London album on Facebook if you click on the title. I'll try to write more from home where there are more pictures and video available to share easily!

Update on Elysha

I guess she’ll get to see a part of England no one else in the group will see – the British Hospital System. She called here around 1 a.m. London time to tell me that she’d called her professor and apparently he/she decided that Elysha needed to go to the hospital. I’m not sure what one or where or how, but Elysha will probably call once things get straightened out… She called earlier from the Victoria & Albert Museum. She was bleeding in their WC. It’s going to be a looooong week, I can tell. She’s staying at the Royal National Hotel on Bedford Way in London, if you want to go seek out a map of where she is. It looks like a very big building. I’m going to search out hospitals and the like in the area and see what I can see of the area, just so I can talk to her like I’m there….

They took her to University College Hospital, 235 Euston Road, London, England. Talked to her for a minute at 9:55p.m. our time. She was still waiting for the doctor – anti-nausea meds were not helping her. I hope they can get her stabilized at least and out of pain so she can get home next week and not want to die while she’s in England….
