I woke up early this morning to the sound of birds out side my window having an argument; is that possible.
The fog outside is so thick even the birds are undercover. Will the sun come out to play today; I ask?

I had set the alarm for around six but had forgotten. I was so relaxed but fully away thinking about the thinks I wanted to get done today. When the alarm did go off it caught me by surprise – it took me a moment to cancel the sound but it was too late to go back to that state of relaxation; Up I got – ground the coffee and made a decaffeinated, in a new (they call it four cups but it fills one mug) French Press that I picked up fro Beverly yesterday.
I also made my regular strong and rich blend for myself in my old and first French Press. Mmmmm it tastes so good first thing in the morning.

Liz took off for Sussex this morning with Erin so Beverly and I have the house to ourselves. It’s like going back in time – alone in the house just the two of us. I must say it is quite.

I plan to get my Thursday File worked up if not finished today when Beverly is out this morning. I also am going to try to fill up the ‘What’s Up in Europe’ post with a touch of news from each country this weekend; I started last night and did eight countries. See map of Europe.

I’m also just about finished my magazine ‘Monocle,’ issue: July/August 2008. There is so much in it to read where as my last issue of Dwell was not so good – too much fluff. I’m also working my way through Mignon Fogarty’s new Book. I love it.

Beverly and I decided to work and get as much done around the house today because the next two week are going to be so busy with a baby shower; a going away party for a very dear couple we know (party is to be at our house – Erin is hosting it; Liz’s buddy) and a bunch of other little events that will culminate with my son’s wedding on the thirtieth. – We are going to take tomorrow morning and go out early for a nice breakfast – I have four locations in mind: Cora’s (which can be great but not consistent in service or quality) ; Jean’s Restaurant on Mountain Road (just your run of the mill; nothing really interesting but it’s nearby and has your basic country cooking); L'Auberge Restaurant-Delta Beausejour a top end buffet on Sundays or McGinnis landing (also has awesome buffet.)

Now I must stat cleaning up this studio and hang a few of my watercolours up around the studio and along the back entrance.
