The only beneficial thing to come of it was its consequential culling of the plague. ![]() The blaze engulfed houses and reduced streets to rubble it incinerated half the city and left its population homeless. ![]() He was an eyewitness to the devastation and was, naturally, completely horrified by what he saw. With one’s face in the wind you were almost burned with a shower of fire drops The Great Fire of London was a terribly destructive event and Pepys, certainly, dramatized it here. ![]() This diary is incredibly emotive in the good parts. But, enough of that- there’s a book to review! Well, a very short one. Can you blame me? I saw Richard II last week and I’m still in a state of awe. Admittedly, I just wanted an excuse to praise one of the best places on earth. The globe is the marvellous exception to the rule. Such was the devastation of the great fire of London that today (almost four hundred years later) the law is still in place. I’m, of course, subjectively referring to Shakespeare’s Globe. Did you know that in London today there is only one building that is legally allowed a thatched roof? It’s, without a shadow of a doubt, the best building in London it’s full of wonder, poetry, and the highest form of art. ![]()

I bought a pair of the CNC'd plastic ones off of eBay that are an inch thick. The first thing that I realized during this project is that not all Tundra 6x9 spacers/mounts are created equal. No problem at all! I did the work at a friends and forgot to bring the camera to document the work but you've all seen it a hundred times before so. I was a little leery at first however it proved to be only slightly more difficult than putting a pair of 6x9's in the rear deck of an old Camaro. Extremely helpful! Today, I finally got out and installed a pair of JL Audio TR690-TXi's in my front doors. ![]() ![]() ![]() She also can’t help the fierce attraction brewing between them, despite everything she’s been taught to believe about Jews.

Among its many children was a girl Maud’s age, Frances, nicknamed Bick, who was to be Maud’s best friend and the model for Tacy Kelly. Shortly before Maud’s fifth birthday a “large merry Irish family" moved into the house directly across the street. When Maud was a few months old, the Hart family moved two blocks up the street to 333 Center. The street, Center Street, dead-ended at one of the town’s many hills. Maud’s birthplace was a small house on a hilly residential street several blocks above Mankato’s center business district. “That dear family" was the model for the fictional Ray family. ![]() Her sister, Kathleen, was three years older, and her other sister, Helen, was six years younger. She was the middle of three children born to Thomas and Stella (Palmer) Hart. Maud Hart Lovelace was born on April 25, 1892, in Mankato, Minnesota. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Grisham the rooster![]() ![]() ![]() My status will be day to day.” “Okay, but what are you going to do when the law school starts calling?” Todd asked. “If you don’t go to class, then what are your plans?” “I have no plans.

They slowed and passed through the small town of Boyce. Aren’t you?” “I’m beyond exhausted,” she said. Now we’re supposed to somehow push it all aside and hustle back to law school for our last semester, which will be followed by two months in hell studying for the bar exam, so we can do something to make a little money and start repayment, which, actually, is far more impossible than it seems, and it seems awfully damned impossible at the moment. “tossed in a prison to wait on deportation. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Witchfall by Victoria Lamb![]() ![]() ![]() Witchfall skilfully draws together threads that were introduced in Witchstruck without them having felt like loose ends, and also weaves in (and ties off) new ones effectively. ![]() I think the second book in a trilogy must be quite difficult to get right and I am always grumpy with a book which leaves too many loose ends. I am also enjoying the cast of characters created in this series and am very much looking forward to seeing how it is all tied together in the end. The tension is managed exquisitely, and even when you are sure you know what's going to happen next, there are surprises and twists in store. It's difficult to say much for a sequel without giving away spoilers, but you should know that the plotting in this novel is first rate. Dangers are definitely lurking everywhere, and this is a very tense read. The politicised atmosphere at court and the more rustic country setting are both rendered clearly for the reader, as well as the dreadful vision which plagues poor Meg more and more through the novel. The settings in this novel are great and beautifully done. Victoria Lamb has ramped things up for the second installment of her YA Tudor Witch trilogy: more complexity to the romance, more shadowy danger to our beloved protagonist as well as more historical reference. If you enjoyed Witchstruck at all (as I definitely did), even the slightest bit, you must read Witchfall. More Tudor Witch romance, intrigue and danger ![]() ![]() We learn of his marital tiffs his daughter's life-threatening illness sexual attraction to a younger woman omitting to pay bills and losing his keys rivalry with colleagues and, despite his famed photographic memory, forgetting the name of a famous Renaissance painter, Signorelli. Many examples come from his own life, professional and personal. The Psychopathology of Everyday Life reveals Freud at his most scintillating. The ‘Freudian slip’, with its double entendre of a revealing/concealing female undergarment, appeared in 1959. ‘Fehlleistungen’ was changed by Strachey from Brill's ‘faulty action’ to the pseudo-medical ‘parapraxis’. ![]() Written in 1901, published in 1904, it was first translated into English by Brill in 1914. ![]() The book belongs to Freud's middle period, while still a passionate clinician reveling in free-associationism, and relatively unencumbered by meta-psychology. But The Psychopathology of Everyday Life fully deserves the epithet: a glorious collection of anecdotes, spoonerisms, lacunae, ‘speech blunders’ and odd actions – revealing, he argues, the cauldron of repressed feelings lurking below consciousness. ![]() Joyous is not a word normally associated with Freud despite being the true meaning of his name. ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh - and in case you're like me and want to make sure no animals are injured in a dog movie before you watch it, you should be fine with this one as well. If you love dogs, if you are fan of Chris McNally and/or Brittany Bristow, you will not want to miss this sweet story. You can count on a happy ending, but the understated and authentic performances make it stand out from the pack. The story isn't just the same old story recycled and it has a specialness to it that makes it endearing. And Stephanie Moore did a terrific job as the show's villainous, repeatedly making me wish one of the dogs in the program would go bite her in the rear! Yes, the story has some of the trademark Hallmark characteristics we have come to love, but it's different as well. Humberly González filled her role well as Bella's friend. Jane Eastwood as Nana was everything you'd want a wise older woman to be and. ![]() The chemistry between McNally & Bristow was great and their performances both tender and nuanced. McNally, as JR Stockard tries to help Bella, the shelter's owner, keep this from happening and romance blossoms. In it, Bella owns a dog rescue that is in danger due to the land it sits on supposedly being a part of other land that is being sold. A Tail of Love was an adorable film with many touching moments, acted wonderfully by the show's leads, Brittany Bristow and Chris McNally. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Melody di sharon m draper![]() ![]() Why does the book open with a firefly?
