Detoxification

[dfrankiswork at netscape.net]

Yes, I have had a whole weekend without any HPFGU.

We had the in-laws visit to take care of the kids while dw and I went out for the day on our own, both days.

Saturday: visited Alton, Selbourne, Winchester.  Decided to leave Chawton (Jane Austen's house) for another day.  Alton is boring.  Selbourne is not.  Nice old village, interesting house, lovely garden.  Landscaped in true 18th century style with ha-ha and all.  (The local curate, Gilbert White, who did up the house and garden, wrote A Natural History of Selborne back in 17-something  Tea in teashop.

In Winchester we visited the cathedral and wondered round the city centre.  The cathedral looks beautiful, and they were practising a Bach mass, so it sounded beautiful - in effect a free concert.  There are sinister old tombs there to make Buffy weep with jealousy, too.

Out for a nice dinner in the evening.

Yesterday, went to the Dog and Pheasant in Brook for lunch, then for a walk.

Lovely weather both days.

Didn't think once all weekend about the release date for OOP.  Didn't check e-mail for over 48 hours.  Lovely.

David
