June 16, 2006Oxford revisitedI went to Oxford last week for a memorial service (sorry, no pictures—I have still not got a camera or any news from the insurers for that matter. Anyway, the essence of the place is best captured on a misty...Read this update June 10, 2006Land of ExcusesI didn't miss much when we went shopping during England's opener against Paraguay.

There were those Irish republicans...Read this update Posted by Denni on June 5, 2006 12:54 PM
Category: June 04, 2006Citizenship Pipedreams cont.I mulled it over and thought that, yes, perhaps I should obtain British citizenship before our 20th wedding anniversary. BUT... ...not only would I still have to swear allegience to the Queen (what is the point of a monarchy in...Read this update June 02, 2006Hen's TeethI must confess I still haven't booked my flights to Prague, but this is because I'd rather book our flights to Morocco first, as soon as possible, in fact. This year, Eid falls on New Years Eve—and we are invited...Read this update |
