By the way, this is where we live. It's nice. We like it.
We're in the lower right hand flat.

Still Kickin'
I made it through all five essays, four group projects and two exams. Just finished on Thursday and fought the resulting headache all day yesterday. (Sitting at a desk writing as fast as possible by hand is hard on my poor delicate back and neck. And I had to do it on both Tuesday and Thursday. Ouch.) The first exam, for environmental policy, I wrote really well and produced tons of text. Second, for "Theories and Principles of Sustainable Development" was a bit choppier, but I still think I did okay. Let's hope.
I haven't gotten many grades back yet, but I think I didn't really ruin anything. And today, J. and I took the train to Swansea and wandered around the port. It was nice. Then we hightailed it back to Cardiff when the "vibrant nightlife" kicked in. I think the girls all text messaged each other to wear the tiniest postage stamp skirts tonight in Swansea. And the boys had a mass hair gel party and made fauxhawks together. It was wild, let me tell you. Glad to be home in our cozy flat. With no deadlines hanging over me and my blog waiting patiently for a much-needed update.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Our Talented Friends
So, when Jason and I had our party at Mt. Rainier last June to celebrate having gotten married, dear friends and family came from all 'round to spend the weekend. Our friends are talented beyond all fairness and many performed songs and stories. Others made cakes and pies and took photos and recorded things and were generally and variously wonderful. One surprise bit of talented contribution came later, in the mail, here to us in Wales. Ms. Susannah Anderson had been sketching during the festivities and later sent us a gold-leafed book of paintings of the weekend. Here are the pages of that book, because they're too beautiful not to share. (please note: I took photos of these and then cropped them down in photoshop and adjusted colors to match as close as possible to the paintings. Obviously they are not perfect and you'll have to see the real thing sometime because they are amazing!) If you click on them, you can see larger versions.
