PS, I went for an owl, but they were out.

I got a duck.

Ducks are cool.

They are.

Okay, I figured out how you did that.

I thought I turned that off long ago.

Maybe it was just a happy dream!

Okay, Lord Korak, how did you leave a comment without logging in?

Just what kind of a lord are you?

No, seriously. I’m scared.

But have you purchased an owl to deliver your resume?

More details on Anneli’s trip.

She started with a family reunion for her husband Tim’s family at Stonehenge, or near enough as makes no difference anyway, then she went off on her own to Sweden and Finland (her Auld Sods), then took a cruise aboard the Viktor Kirov from Helsinki (I thinki) to St Petersburg (not the one in Florida) all the way to Moscow.

(She had trouble in the capital of Finland when, on a walking tour she got lost on the bad side of town, a Norwegian ghetto called Hell’s-Kitchen-Sinki, swear to God.)

She hit all the big art galleries and art sites, Tsarskoye Tselo, the Hermitage, awesome churches, a godawful monument to Peter the Great in Moscow, etc.

One of the most astonishing was the Kizhi Pogost (here’s a picture). The first thing I thought of when I saw the postcard she’d sent her husband was that it was a Tolkienesque watercolour of that eastern European Hogwarts. Exquisite.
