A misty morning

It was a beautiful trip on the bus this morning, mist was still hanging over the fields and the light had that special quality to it. Today was the first day that we had a real nip in the air, I could see my breath. At lunch I'm going to go to Marks & Spencers (or Marks & Sparks as it's known here) to look for a new winter coat, all my Minneapolis coats stayed over there since they were much too heavy for an Irish Winter. I also need gloves and a scarf, which were supposed to come with me but which I forgot.

I had lunch at the local Pizza Hut yesterday and yes, it tastes pretty much the same here. We also have "Old El Paso" products in the supermarket isn't that a hoot. I haven't found a realy good bakery yet but the products at the local stores aren't that bad.

Yesterday my Mom dropped off a mirror for the living room (we already have a big one over the mantle but I wanted a second one for Feng Shui reasons). It is gorgeous, she started with an antique mirror that she built a frame around, it's simple and beautiful. The girls at the shop did both water gilding and oil gilding on it which was very very nice of them. I will post a picture as soon as the digital camera arrives.

I'm still doing a lot of thinking about the Yule fire and need to do some more research on the Nores Nydd Fire and it looks like I may have some time on my hands today, I still haven't gotten any dictation from my boss.

Anyway that's all I can think of, miss you all.
