Mom left this morning. She and I took a taxi at 7:30 to the bus depot, grabbed a bite to eat (a chocolate croissant-yum!), and then I put her on the bus. After that I walked back to Lady Margaret Hall. Now I am all alone! I have to return one textbook today and then I'll probably find a nice place to read downtown. Oh, and I need to teach myself to sew on a button because I ran out of time to have Mom do it.
Yesterday was very pleasant. We missed all of the hard rain; we had a fine mist sometimes. We ate breakfast at the college and then headed downtown. We wandered around Oxford for a while and ended up at Oxford Castle around 11:30. Oxford Castle was built in 1070s and was a jail up until the 1990s. We climbed the Saxon tower and then went toured different sections of the Castle. After the Castle we grabbed a sandwich at the restaurant there and walked around more of Oxford. We made a detour so I could buy some of the textbooks I needed (I also got an Oxford sweatshirt). We then found a place to have a scone and clotted cream. After tea we went back to the college for a rest before dinner. We grabbed a light dinner back in town and went home for the night so Mom could pack. We were able to skype with David, Sharon and Carly! Carly is already bigger than the last time I saw her.
I will be posting pictures today, so look for them tomorrow.
My, it's Wednesday already. I check your blog daily. Thank you. You may need more than one Oxford sweatshirt. Have a wonderful time!! Love, Aunt Bubble
ReplyDeleteYou can sew on a button. You made a whole quilted foundation pieced wall hanging!
ReplyDeleteSee, if you'd have taken me as a ittle mouse in your pocket you wouldn't be alone! Your blogging is so much fun to read. Keepin' coming, girl. Would you please tell us all about your courses and what you are reading? Love, Aunt Kit
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's a wrong way to sew on a button. I used to just use LOTS of thread and then put about 100 knots in the back...VOILA!!!
