fog and rain


everything i read nowadays has beheading in it. occasionally it's varied by people disemboweling animals instead. why me?

Hello Lian
Love the new hair do! Pleased all well, sounds like you are still having fun study wise though the reading matter does sound a bit gory?! Its great the women's studies is so interesting, good choice then. I've been in Madrid and Lisbon this week with work. Lisbon is really a cool place. The architecture is interesting and painted bright colours and many of the buildings are covered in patterned tiles. A hilly city situated on a river mouth, the river and the sea are a large focus. The is sky really blue and big and it was sunny and warm. Of course there was great wealth in Portugal (with the trade routes with India, Africa and Brazil) and this is much in evidence in the ornate buildings. The Moors originally had Lisbon and we visted what remains of their castle on top of one of the hills. Have sent you a post card and also one to Page st. Thanks for your lovely card - its a hoot!
Love M

Surely the question is, why the victims of the disembowellings and beheadings, rather than why gtg?

tuchfrau,

i was going to say that it was okay for *them*, cos they were all fictional, but one of the things i was reading was a book on henry VIII, and they weren't fictional at all.

so, yes, i agree. hmph.
