We’re officially on foot
I drove to Ipswich this morning to return our rental car, so we’re officially sans auto from here on out (barring renting one now and then for trips yonder). From here on out it’s walking, buses, and/or biking, and I can assure you that we’re not really in shape for it. You’d think that will [...]

I look up from the monitor and see…
This, more or less, is the view straight out my office window here at the University of Essex. Very 60′s, eh? It also looks really different it the sun than in cloud, and wet vs. dry.

Someone, however, apparently believes that the the federal government should be in the business of providing him with even more publicity for his mighty Star Wars empire.

Rarely much rain, but precious little sunshine either. This photo was taken on a walk Sub-Evil Boy and I made last week from [...]

We’re pretty much all moved in to our apartment, and had a splendid dinner with Riccardo, Catarina, and kids last night at their house. Now trying to [...]

After lots of looking…
…it looks like we’re all set on the living front! We signed a lease on an apartment today, and do the walk through tomorrow, after which we can start moving stuff in! Now we just need to sort out Sub-Evil Boy’s school situation… No tag for this post. Related posts No related posts.

Welcome to the University of Essex
The University of Essex (a mile or so southwest of Colchester) was established in the early to mid-60′s (so it’s about the same age as UMM*) as one of nine new universities that were created in part to generate new university opportunities in a country where very few young people went on to university. The [...]
