'Not Yet My Mother' by Owen Sheers. The Guardian, 24 June 2006.

'A Rose Tree' by Fleur Adcock. The Guardian, 17 June 2006.

Researching Cruikshank's series of cartoons, The Bottle and The Drunkard's Children, I came across this great site about Magic Lantern slides. Fantastic.

Have just discovered the city daily photoblogs, including:
Paris Daily Photo Blog, Edinburgh Daily Photo Blog and, of course, London Daily Photo Blog.

Through this last, I have discovered Pigeon Blog and some March of the Penguins links, including the March of the Penguins game.

Finally caught the Americans in Paris exhibition at the National Gallery. Generally very impressive, though I was disappointed in the Mary Casatt paintings, having previously been very taken with her prints.

Thinking of joining the English Speaking Union, after seeing Dartmouth House and the impressive Page Memorial Library.
