You guys across the pond are so much better at having "days" than we are.<br />All I know is that it's Easter weekend and that means I'm trapped at home, cursed with living in one of the few truly beautiful and secluded spots in England. The roads are currently gridlocked the streets choked with staring morons as every dumb schmuck in the country has descended on us for a four day weekend, armed with with cameras and caravans and screaming kids and sunburn. <br />Ack!<br />Happy St.George's Day, Petrea!divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-61184350596568251682011-04-23T22:21:47.798-07:002011-04-23T22:21:47.798-07:00It's an Escher arch.

But I bet the dragon chasing George won't make it, so it's a good choice of photo for today.<br /><br />We in England are enjoying the hottest Easter since records began, which is quite extraordinary. It's hotter in Cambridge than in Pasadena, and all the shining knights have temporarily shed their armor so they can sunbathe.

Me being a writer and all. But I do know beer goes back further than the 17th century, some archaeologists say people might have been brewing it as far back as the Neolithic (5,500 years ago). I know all this off the top of my Google-head.<br /><br />If I look through my stuff, Dina, I've probably got a lizard. And I believe there's a suit of armor somewhere, standing outside an antique store.<br /><br />Hiker led me to this one, Vanda. I just added labels. It's on the grounds of an old school in Altadena that was a house before it was a school.<br /><br />Hee hee, J.

Maybe not waiting for George to save her from a dragon though. I'm no Shakespeare scholar, but I do have his free app on my ipod Touch so I couldn't resist searching for "arch". I found a nice quote from a work I'll admit I've never heard of called Cymbeline. Jachimo says, "What, are men mad?
