Chapter 1
Susan had never thought much about sheds but as Dennis described it her pulse began to quicken, "you will let me see it Dennis" she panted. "I'll text you when the base is being laid" he replied. After he had left Susan began to daydream, she remembered how as a young woman she had been indifferent towards sheds and other sectional buildings but now...
Several weeks past until she received a text from Dennis, "it's getting laid tomorrow" was all it said but Susan's pulse was once again racing. She cancelled all appointments and as she drove the eight miles to Dennis's house she imagined what it might be like. When she arrived work was already in progress, the massive ready-mix truck barely fitted in the narrow lane its huge bucket churning the heavy mix round and round with a relentless thumping, only to be interrupted by the occasional whoosh as another load gushed down the hopper and into a waiting barrow. "Hi Susan", it was Dennis who interrupted her trance. "It's a tight squeeze" she murmured still not quite recovered from her encounter. "It's so big, how did you get it into the lane" she continued. "We trimmed back some of the foliage" replied Dennis, "gave it a real Brazilian".
Dennis led her round the truck and she felt a shiver of excitement as the massive bucket brushed past her arm. As she approached the back garden she wondered how big the base would be. Dennis pushed back the gate and there it was, massive and glistening in the midday sun. At the far end it was like a rumpled sheet as the men used a wide tamper to smooth the surface. As the tamper was raised she could hear the suck of wet concrete clinging tightly to it followed by a resounding thud as it plunged back into the mix. This hypnotic rhythm was making Susan sweat, "are you ok" said Dennis as her offered her his hand.
He led her to the other end where the last few barrow loads of concrete was being dispensed. "It still needs tamping" said Dennis. "Oh yes" Susan responded, "oh yes". She was fixated by the craggy lumps of concrete and marvelled at how they shuddered as another load was emptied in. "Can I touch it" Susan said and Dennis understood exactly what she meant. They kneeled at the edge of the base and she allowed his hand to guide her towards the tacky, moist surface. Suddenly she broke free of his grip and plunged her hand right into the mix. The cool, grey liquid engulfed her hand and arm as her enquiring fingers fondled the hard lumps of ballast deep below the surface. Soon she had plunged her other hand in too and in a rocking motion she thrust them back and forth.
Dennis remembered how with those same motions she had eased away his pain after the accident but now this was for her, this was for Susan. He watched as her blouse pulled loose and he could see her glossy flesh shimmering. But he knew that he was simply a bystander, Susan was mesmerised as the tamping came nearer it became louder and louder, now within inches of her fingers all she could think of was the rush that was about to engulf her. "Yes, yes" she screamed and she pulled both arms out of the mix. She held them out to Dennis in triumph; he understood. He lightly held her chilled, grey fingers and gazed at her face reddened and splattered with beads of concrete. Are you glad you came he whispered?

Once again we are indebted to Gordon for bringing us up to speed on what is becoming a problem of epidemic proportions.ReplyDelete
A psychiatrist writes ……….
…..in following up the research conducted by my colleague, Dr. Tyn – y – pe Niss, on constructus magna lusticatum , commonly referred to as "shed envy" we have isolated another disturbing syndrome which we have named: constructus magna laudamus , which may be loosely translated for the layman as
"shed boasting or bragging".
Dr. Niss and I were pleased to receive further government funding for additional research into this behaviour, and the full results of this may be seen in our three volume study, "Erectus Ludorum", available at the modest price of £175 [HMSO.]
A very brief summary of our main findings are shown below:
Firstly there would appear to be strong evidence that it is the latter syndrome (c.m. laudamus), which is largely responsible for the occurrence of the first (c.m. lusticatum.)
Our results clearly show that both syndromes stem from the belief that the larger the shed, the more desirable it may be to others, usually of the opposite sex.
Therefore, as in our previous research, we chose to ask the partners of our study group for their views on the size and placement of sheds. We found some surprising results.
When shown pictures of sheds of various sizes, group responses were usually ones of considerable mirth, regardless of size – the well known "Chippendale Effect".
However when shown the same pictures individually, where anonymity was guaranteed, the more common "Goldilocks Effect" was observed.
In this, pictures of all sheds were greeted with a surprising degree of indifference, whilst the pictures of large sheds elicited almost unanimous responses along the lines of:
"I certainly wouldn't want an erection of that size anywhere near my garden!"
"Don't think you can put anything that size up in my backyard!"
These results obviously contradict previous male belief, as stated above – that the larger the shed the better. We suspect this false assumption may have been based upon a misinterpretation of a bowdlerised version of the Rhodean School Song heard in formative years, or more likely, a casual reading of the report submitted by the eminent engineer, referred to in our previous study.
You will recall that his misplaced efforts to produce a construction to satisfy the rather unique requirements of his partner, shed-wise, ended in a particularly tragic manner, and may well have been the cause of his own untimely demise.
Our report has been warmly received in government circles and, we believe, is largely responsible for the recent, no doubt welcome announcement, confirming that there will be no increase in taxation aimed at those having large sheds.
In this the Chancellor has, with one hand, undoubtedly pleasured the PM, whilst with the other has, with one stroke, surely brought much needed relief to many of his colleagues.
Very well explained. I would like to say that it is very interesting to read your blog.ReplyDelete

Company Culture – An Organisation's Driving Force
The future of any organisation can be foretold in its culture. You can sense it the moment you step inside your favourite retail stores. The attendant chirpily greets you with a smile. They look you in the eye and exude an aura of sincerity and respect. The staff happily engage customers and team-mates, while delivering top performance – a culture of sincere customer service.
Cultures transcend hierarchy. Tremendous success stories of companies such as Southwest Airlines, Zappos, Alibaba and Ritz Carlton all have something in common. Majority of their employees share the same corporate values. These successful service-driven companies have formalised their purpose and values, and team members who don't embrace these values don't stay. They are intentional about their workplace inspiration. They don't leave their company culture to chance. What these top companies do is to make workplace inspiration as important as performance and profits.
Just as you can sense a customer-focused culture when stepping into your favourite retail store, you can easily recognise a close-sales-no-matter-what-it-takes culture in another store. Leaders of companies and organisations need to keep a sense of how their business is operating, not just how it is performing. Most leaders look exclusively to profits and KPI. As a leader looking to create an inspired work environment, you need to be intentional about developing your Company Culture.
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and request for a free basic company culture evaluation today.
The Invisible Hand
Your company culture is the invisible hand the drives the thoughts and actions of your people. In effect, the invisible hand powers the economy of your company. Creating a good company culture increases virtually every desirable aspect of your company while decreasing undesirable ones.
Company culture has been well researched for many years by world-class scientists. Below are the cultural benefits that the invisible hand of company culture has influenced. Your company can benefit from it too.
Create A Strong Work Culture For Your Company
To suit your company's varying needs and intensity, we'll craft a unique Company Culture Development Program just for you. A full Company Culture Development consists of 5 overlapping modules, as shown below. Each module will be crafted according to the needs of your company.
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and request for a free basic company culture evaluation today.
The Culture Development Philosophy
Loving the Glow, Not the Spark
Good Culture Development is a long term process that requires years to cultivate. There is no quick-fix method to it and it is not always fun and exciting. In fact, the development of your company culture likely means that there will be some changes made to the way your company runs. Some people may welcome the change and take this golden opportunity to make a difference. Some others may become frustrated and question the need for change. However, most will embrace the change and appreciate the great benefits that comes.
Look for a sustained cultural development for your company, a glow that lasts.
Customized Programs
Every organisation is unique. There are many factors that can and will influence company culture. From our Company Culture Evaluations, we can cut through the clutter and dive straight into the core. Your time is valuable, and so is ours. We believe in keeping things simple and efficient. Let's discover what is really needed, take away the fluff and spend more time doing real work.
Align People, Empower Systems
Contrary to popular belief, the continuity of your company culture does not truly empower people. Rather, it empowers structure, a system based on your company's values and direction, to drive people.
First we align your team to your company's values. Then we empower culture development systems to reduce conflict, increase efficiency and ignite happiness. In the Vinco Culture Development Program, we utilize systems so that you can continue to develop your company culture to greater heights. Leaders of differing capabilities will find it much easier to lead when culture development systems are put into place.
Start Young(er)
The younger you start investing in the character of your company, the greater (and easier) returns you will receive. Do not wait till the moment of desperation, change will be difficult. Company culture development is most effective when the company is young and minds of people teachable. The older a company gets, the deeper its habits are entrenched, the more difficult it is to reverse the damage and the greater the opportunity cost. Gain an advantage by starting now.
Company Culture Specialist
Company culture is organic. It is always developing and changing. Leaders need to continuously prune and trim to keep a good consistent culture. As leader, you already have tons on your plate. Why not work with a specialist? Great companies hire culture development specialists to ensure happiness and productivity of their employees. Spend your time and energy generating even more revenue for your business, leave the culture development and sustainment to us.
Retreats & Teambuilding Activities
While optional, culture development retreats have been shown to get the company staff up to speed quickly. Employees feel more aligned to company values and have better communication with their leaders. Culture development retreats are deeply encouraged and take place in sync with the company's annual retreats. Meanwhile, teambuilding activities help to develop rapport and understanding between company members. These set a strong foundation for culture development.

"I used to run my company on 'trial & error' management approach and faced many challenges with my staff. The Vinco team was detailed and also very personal in their work with us. With good structure put in place with Vinco's help, I'm seeing great unity and energy in my team!"

You can help the SOMA Wiki by expanding it.
| Info
Viperfish are enemies encountered in SOMA. Simon Jarrett briefly encounters a large shoal of them during his trek through the Abyss.
Viperfish are the eponymous creatures which have been mutated by Structure Gel. This causes them to have increased dramatically in size compared to a regular viperfish.
The Viperfish appear to have a human face fused on top of the head, them belonging most likely to their previous victims,
Viperfish swim and attack in groups, but do not go near the lanterns. Although they appear to be infected by the WAU, they were already predators before the A.I. made them even more dangerous.
|This section is in need of rewording.
You can help the SOMA Wiki by fixing it up.
During Simon's track to Tau, the viperfish make an appearance. Strong geothermal currents caused by fault line activity hinder Simon's progress, making it easier for the shoal to make frequent passes at Simon in an attempt to weaken him with bites to the body.
Simon is mostly able to prevent these attacks by standing next to the erected lamps, but a stray viper fish may still attack. There are also a few abandoned storage crates scattered on the ocean floor that can be used to hide from the shoal.

Keep fighting, champions of Greendale. The war is not over. Community (the winner of TV.com's Best of 2011 award for Best Overall Series) may have been bumped from NBC's midseason schedule, but it will be back to finish out Season 3, says NBC chieftain Bob Greenblatt.
"I want to dispel any notion that [Community is] just quietly disappearing from the schedule," Greenblatt told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour today. "I failed to explicitly say it will be back." It's true. When Community was unceremoniously shoved off NBC's plan in November, little was said about the show's fate except that it would return at a later time. But as anyone in the TV industry knows, the standard PR game is to calm fears now and worry about the truth later.
Greenblatt's promise should soothe fans of the NBC comedy, and he insists the show will return later this spring. But as for a Season 4? This is where it gets tricky. When asked, Greenblatt was non-committal: "Fourth season, I don't know. Those are really hard questions to answer at this point." That can be taken one of two ways. Either the new boss is learning that being honest sometimes means being vague, or he's intentionally being vague because he already knows the answer and doesn't want to start a sh*tstorm during what is his network's time in the limelight.
"I'm really curious to see what something else will do [in Community's time slot]," he added. "We have a really tight schedule with comedies."
So there you have it, Community fans. Good news: it's coming back. Bad news: Season 4 still is very much up in the air.

A) Gently warm all the contents (not to a boil), then put them in a blender and mix them up at a high speed.
B) Strain out most of the water, boil 1 cup of milk with all the contents, then blend at a high speed.
We have been doing option one and also using more water, about three cups.

Mixed reality content will be available to Microsoft Xbox One family of devices, including Project Scorpio.
This week, as Acer starts shipping the first developer-oriented headset, we're finally coming to a full understanding of what that actually means.
For now, this headset has to be connected to a PC running Windows 10 to function.
"We're also excited to share that Windows Mixed Reality experiences will light up on other devices over time, beyond desktop and Microsoft HoloLens" says a Microsoft spokesperson on the official blog. One thing that separates these mixed reality headsets from the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive is the use of inside-out tracking technology.

Microsoft VR headset United Kingdom release date and price: How much will the Microsoft VR headset cost, and when will it be released?
Microsoft today released Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview build 15043 to the Slow ring. It features not one but two high-res displays at 1440×1440, refresh rate of 90Hz, a 3.5mm jack along with HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.0.
Microsoft will have to continue working hard to make Windows 10 an attractive operating system for stalwarts who refuse to make the switch.
Epidemic: US heroin deaths quadruple in five years
In the firearm department, the number of deaths was 36,000, meaning 16,000 deaths less than the ones produced by drug overdoses. And the age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths among non-Hispanic white Americans was almost 3.5 times the rate in 1999.
"Windows Mixed Reality" is Microsoft's new name for the "Windows Holographic" platform, but the technology is more generally known as augmented reality.
The company has confirmed that the Windows 10 Creators Update will provide more control over the update experience.
Microsoft doesn't have its own VR headset. According to CNet, the headset closely resembles the Sony PlayStation VR but was not as comfortable to use.
At the Game Developer's Conference 2017 in San Francisco, Microsoft revealed a few important plans to push its blended reality platform.

We are just so excited to have our first guest post today! Maria from Tinselbox is going to show us how to make Easy Vanilla Salted Caramels (which sound AMAZING, btw!!)
And yes, you read that right. Tinselbox. It's like one of those monthly subscription boxes for makeup or Fair Trade Friday except it's for HOLIDAYS! Valentines, Easter, July 4th, Halloween, and of course, Christmas! Maria is the CEO of Tinselbox and gets to spend her days mailing awesome holiday stuff to people. How great is that? Anyway, here's Maria!
Easy Salted Caramel Handmade Gifts
When it comes to the holidays, we are a bit obsessed. Decorating, candy making and celebrating are our thing. You wouldn't want us to withhold our easiest, yummiest handmade gift idea would you? We won't hold back any more. Try our handmade Vanilla Salted Caramel recipe and adorable gift package DIY.
When you're all grown up, buying a holiday present can be a bit like trying to guess someone's weight at one of those old school carnivals. Awkward! And because I want people to smile instead, I love to sweeten the pot with homemade gifts. These easy handmade salted caramels are so easy to make. It makes that moment of gift giving special.
Did you know that people were enjoying caramels as early as 1880? That version was made with sugar beet juice. I'm not sure I will try that recipe.
Two Tips for Making Salted Caramels at Home
If you are new to candy making, you will want to know two things. It is really easy, but you do need to follow the directions very carefully a few times before you get the hang of it. Read the recipe, measure your ingredients and the read the recipe again.
Our recipe is below. Believe me, if I can make these, you can too! If you find you want an even simpler process, check out this microwave recipe.
DIY Easy Handmade Salted Caramels
So after you make your caramels and they cool, cut them to size. Wrap with parchment paper and add to an adorable Mason Jar. This batch made me two gifts. It can make three if you make each jar a little smaller. Each one should have 20-40 pieces. One for this jar which is going to be a host gift this weekend, one for my daughter's elementary teacher.
Don't want to spend all this energy on this recipe? You can also make salted caramels in the microwave – check out the link above!
I'm Maria at Tinselbox, and I am so excited to join in the Sprinkles and Sawdust 31 Days of Handmade Christmas. Tinselbox is a holiday & celebration blog that keeps you celebrating all year long. I share holiday tips, history, DIY, recipes and more. Celebrate with me on Facebook and Instagram!

In a country where land disputes were the chief cause of conflict between the coloniser and the colonised, surveying could never be a neutral, depoliticised pastime.
In a groundbreaking piece of scholarship, Giselle Byrnes examines the way surveyors became figuratively and literally 'the cutting edge of colonisation'. Clearing New Zealand's vast forests, laying out town plans and deciding on place names, they were at every moment asserting British power. Boundary Markers also shows how the surveyors' 'commercial gaze', a view of the countryside coloured by the desire for profit, put them at odds with the Māori view of land.

While on vacation, a single mother identified as Theresa discovers a
'message in a bottle' on the shore that has moving honest words of love
addressed to a woman named Catherine
The trail leads her to a sailboat builder named Garrett and also to his father, Dodge in a small North Carolina coastal town It turns out that Catherine is Garret's deceased wife, and the intriguing letters were written, two years earlier, after her decease
Some people find the one true love of their lives, if they're fortunate enough Luis Mandoki's film, in part, turns out to be a choice about what occurs when a person finds that right kind of love, then when he is faced with the impossible, and then when he is given the right to continue with his life and is brave enough to love again no matter how unpleasant his grief is
As a reclusive widower, Garret was still in deep pain, and entirely devoted to Catherine's memory He had hard time letting go of the past Catherine was dead but not forgotten and was simply everywhere
As a sailor Costner didn't inherit the charm of Newman He was drawn to Penn by her smile, her beauty, even her mistakes
Robin Wright Penn was beautiful, delicate and sweet as Theresa She soon insinuates her way into Garret's life Her expectations were always too high Since the beginning, she just had to meet the person that wrote those letters Her life was changed by them Eventually when she met Garret that morning, she accepted, without hesitation, to step aboard
Paul Newman as Dodge liked Theresa instantly He saw in her the key to his son's emotional recovery
With a very nice music, and a stunning coastal photographyalso the ocean scenes are wonderfully taken"Message in a Bottle" is definitely a weepy melodrama and a must see for those who believe, or don't, in love
I really enjoyed the peacefulness of the surroundings. The beautiful foggy mornings near the ocean is an all natural calmer. Just overall a wonderful movie. Very moving. Each of us Have loved or will have loved so deeply as to make our very souls leap into unfathomable joy. This movie grabs hold of the heart of the viewer and keeps you intrigued from the beginning to the end. It engages the inner self to want to reach out, take hold of life and love with the clarity to which we all want to be loved. It reminds us when you love, let it be always unconditional. Let it be forever. A well written movie. One, every person should take time to see.
The pace is set from the opening scene: the ocean with its consistent but
gentle force splashing against the shore. `Message in a Bottle' follows
this leisurely pace; it is not in a real hurry to give up all its secrets,
but like the ocean, will surrender all in good time. So relax, and allow
yourself to enjoy!
Paul Newman (Dodge Blake) and Kevin Costner (Garrett Blake) both deliver strong performances as father and son, initially content, though not really happy in their current existence. Both have lost their love, for one reason or another, and are each other's companion and support. Newman gets the fun punch lines, Costner gets the woman. `If I were about 150 years younger' starts one of Newman's lines it must be different for him not to play the leading role. Costner seems right at home playing a ship-building sailor who is lost because of his lost love.
Robin Wright (Theresa Osborne) is equally strong, playing an independent and patient reporter, who follows her heart, and decides to find the author of the love letters from the ocean. She gives Garrett distance gently when he needs it, yet pushes back equally hard when she needs to.
Much of the acting relied not so much on the delivery of lines, as on the body language, on looks, on the strained silence between a couple who is unsure of each other, often unsure of themselves, yet strongly attracted to each other.
Both Garrett and Theresa seem to struggle at conversation, both uncertain of how to discover each other, yet each finding an attraction they can't seem to deny. Garrett is hanging on to the love he still feels for his wife, who died too early. Theresa is still recovering from a divorce, and the busy life of a single parent. Neither is sure they can be open to a new relationship, nor are they ready to say goodbye to something that is starting to feel so right.
The photography of the sailboats on the ocean were enough to bring out the romantic in me. What could be a more peaceful setting than a sailboat anchored privately in a small cove of the ocean in the Outer Banks?. We're given just enough peek into the unfolding world of a couple discovering love, without it feeling like an intrusion.
To talk more of the ups and downs would give away too many of the secrets that only the theatre, the bookstore, or the ocean will release.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I generally like Kevin Costner movies, but had only moderate
expectations for this one. But after seeing it, I think it is one of
the best "love stories" I have seen. The pace of the movie, and the
dialog, are not rushed, some may even say leisurely. But that is a
welcome change from many of today's fast action, cut-to-the-chase
movies which neglect character development.
This movie developed characters. I found myself really caring for all of them. The dialog between Costner's and Newman's characters, son and father, is very natural and believable. The meeting and getting to know one another by Penn's and Costner's characters is also very natural and believable.
This movie could have taken the easy way out, with a neatly tied together ending, everyone living happily ever after. Instead it takes an unexpected turn but "love" is still the driving force, a strong message about love, relationships, and living each day for what it is worth.
Finally, the scenery and photography are wonderful. Definitely one of the better "modern" movies I have seen.
SPOILERS: He finishes his boat, named for his deceased wife, but encounters a family having difficulty on their boat during a big storm. He rescues the dad and small daughter but both he and the wife perish when he has to dive in to try to save her.
Update 2008: I saw it again after over 8 years, and my opinion has remained the same. A somewhat underrated movie.
Update 2017: I watched it again after 9 more years and found it rather fresh.
This movie has all the ingredients you need on a Sunday afternoon--it is happy and sad, funny and melancholic, optimistic but realistic, expected but unexpected, just what life is all about. Photography is just breathtaking, and oh, Chicago looks fantastic. There are some witty lines. Paul Newman is doing a great little role--Oscar? MUST SEE!
This is the movie that proves that most critics don't know what they're
doing. The critics shed their sentimentalism sometime in the mid-1960's, so
how could they know or care?
One must have a heart to enjoy "Message in a Bottle". It's a treasure--beautiful, poignant, tragic. The cast is wonderful, and if you don't cry at the ending, you aren't human (which most critics apparently aren't).
I can't help but love this movie. When watching this movie, I felt as if I was right inside with the people and it was real life. All the emotions that Kevin's character goes through shows this sensitive side of him that is not always shown in his movies. I cried for his loss and cheered him on in finding another person to understand and love him for who he is. The depth of this film made me want to be in love and to share that experience with someone.
Spread the message and let everyone know that "Message In A Bottle" was
an incredible sight to behold because it was the type of movie that
cleared my mind of everything else and allowed to relax in my chair.
"Message In A Bottle" along with the writers as well as Kevin Costner, Paul Newman, and Robin Wright Penn swept me away to another place that gave me the chance to watch a brilliant film with no worries and enjoy an epic romance.
Costner, Newman and Wright Penn share the screen to tell the incredible, emotional and powerful story of one reporter's mission to locate the writer of three mysterious messages that turned up ashore.
The following events set off a tender and sweet romance between Garret Blake played by Costner and Theresa Osborne played by Penn. Also, mixed into this wonderfully crafted plot is Newman who plays Dodge, Garret's father who acts as a calming effect for his son when trying to deal with his newfound feelings about Theresa and those for Catherine, the object of the mysterious messages.
The performances by Costner, Penn and Newman seemed so natural it was enjoyable to watch actors not try so hard to do their best. I got the feeling that the actors truly cared about making this film the best they could for their fans because of the integrity and sincerity they brought to their characters.
"Message In A Bottle" was a powerful and inspirational movie to watch and will be treasured for years to come. In addition, it had two of my favorite actors and it gave me the opportunity to watch a brilliant actress come in to her own.
How private is a message set afloat in a bottle? Not at all, according to this film. Finders keepers, and if it makes a good story, publish it on the front page of the daily press. Garret (Kevin Costner) loves Catherine beyond the grave, and being a boat-builder, with the sea at his doorstep, he sends messages to her in a sealed bottle. Theresa (Robin Wright Penn) relaxing by the sea finds a bottle protruding from the wet sand and is much impressed by the expressions of love in the romantic message. As a newspaper researcher she seeks out the author and predictably they fall in love. I think this film would largely appeal to women. The dialogue and the romantic situations are believable as the story slowly but steadily unfolds. The photography of the seascapes and sunsets is very appealing and the background music suitably romantic and never obtrusive. The acting throughout is very controlled. The shy Garret devoted to the memory of Catherine slowly changes as this new woman enters his life. Theresa still suffering from a broken marriage and still uncertain of her future is beautifully played as the message continues to weave its spell. Garret's crotchety old father is played with all stops out by Paul Newman - a rascally fellow with firm ideas about what is good for his son. There are a few noisy scenes in the film, and necessary, I think, because the overall tenor of the film is somewhat subdued with the two shy central characters. Not a great film by any means , but the story has a certain charm. I am sure we would all like to find a message in a bottle - much more exciting than receiving an E-mail - and I guaratee that, human nature being what it is, we'd read it too.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Before I could scream, "My eyes! My eyes!" I realized I was basically
watching my love story unfold before me. You see, I married a widower.
I just hate it when people call my husband a widower. What does that
make me? Dead? I think not.
I was pleased that THIS movie somewhat shows what it like for the unfortunate woman (or perhaps man) who thinks they are just falling in love. My favorite quote in the whole movie was, "It's getting pretty crowded in there." Because that's exactly how it feels.
The scene where they were christening the boat and she witnesses the man she loves admit that he misses "Catherine" everyday. Funny, my husband's late wife's name was, grrr, Kathryn.
So, even though it was painful to watch... I did come away with a new appreciation of the fact that my husband didn't do the typical "push/pull" thing that was shown in the movie. My husband realized that I was someone he didn't want to lose, and he realized he wanted to live for tomorrow instead of yesterday.

Our Holiday in Beddgelert
Saturday morning came as a bit of a shock to us all. Not only was our tent full of puddles again, but our double air bed had also gone down. It was as flat as a pancake and we were lying on a cold rocky floor. Not good for my poor back. Seb had kept us all awake with his itching and scratching, so we checked him over to find that he'd picked up fleas and also had a tick burrowing into his front leg. To top it all off I couldn't find my toothbrush. All in all, not the best start to our last full day on camp. Thankfully the campsite shop had a replacement toothbrush.
The weather wasn't looking too bad so we thought we might climb Snowdon. It was our last chance to do it, so we headed for Llanberis and the Llanberis Path which is the most gradual route to the top of Snowdon. But first we needed fuel! So we stopped at the very famous Pete's Eats for breakfast, and because Trev went there lots as a kid and wanted to go back. On the way there we kept our eyes peeled for changes in the weather. It was looking very murky around the mountain tops!
Breakfast was glorious. Eggs and beans was exactly what was needed to get me going! Over breakfast we changed our minds about Snowdon. We later found out this was the right decision as the weather up there turned hideous! Instead we walked around to the local park. Seb instantly jumped into the lake, of course. The girls spent some time swinging and sliding and playing fetch with Seb. In the distance was Dolbadarn Castle, which soon caught our attention. The eldest sprog rather likes knights and castles so it seemed like the best plan.
For Trev, Dolbadarn was a real trip down memory lane. He remembered running around with toy swords with his little brother, chasing and fighting, while their parents watched nearby with the dogs. I can almost picture it! It must have been rather lovely for him to watch his daughters enjoying a place he loved as a child.
Poor Seb was still pretty itchy so he spent the time rolling around on the grass!
We caught the castle bug a little bit, and Trev wanted to take the girls to another of his childhood favourites, Harlech Castle. This was a much bigger castle, where you needed to pay an entry fee. No dogs were allowed, so me, Seb and a fast asleep Iris waited outside on a wall. This unfortunately means I have no pictures of the inside, but I've been reliably informed that it was 'pretty cool'. I almost had a bit of a fight with a man who insisted on sitting next to us and lighting a cigarette. Every now and then Trev and the girls would appear at a window or at the top of a tower and I'd snap a quick picture. The sky was grey and the light was poor, but I promise it really is a beautiful place.
Harlech is by the sea, and I hope next time we are there the weather is better and we can build our own castles in the sand. Instead we explored the shops and the girls ate sandwiches in a little cafe. We managed to get hold of some dettol and tweezers for removing poor Seb's tick. In a gift shop the eldest equipped herself with armour, helmet and sword. Trev was jealous and got himself a plastic sword too. I picked up some fudge as a gift for my mum.
We headed back to the Saracen's Head again, mainly out of laziness. It wasn't even raining. Eating out is always a nice way to spend the last evening of a holiday, and we spent our time talking about all the fun we'd had. We were all rather sad to be going home.
On our return to the tent we inflated our air bed again, only to find a big hole in it. It was flat again within minutes, but at 10pm there wasn't much we could do. Trev set about trying to make the floor more comfortable with layers of towels and sheets. It worked a bit, but we went on to have the worst night's sleep ever! Iris slept well though, wrapped up in lots of layers, and the girls still had comfy beds. I think we all fell asleep wishing it wasn't our last night in Beddgelert.

Normally I'd crack wise about busting up the little bully and at the same time cartoonishly exaggerate my right fist pounding into its opposite palm, but this time I... okay, well I did exactly that BUT I also quickly pivoted to gentle tones, listened more than I got ticked off, and comforted more than I began harboring weapons of mass humiliation to destroy the 6-year-old fool who's making my first grader's daytimes more miserable than they ought ever to be.
My youngest daughter loves school. Always has. Until two weeks ago when we spied a hairline fracture in her colorful armor. And then there was that day she came home, and collapsed crying into her over-sized stuffed animal bear. He's named Barbaloot, but that's not important right now. She looked up at me, eyes puffy, the color of pink Valentine sweeties, and said, matter-of-factly, "I hate school." What I did in response surprised me, and, I think, both of my girls too. Maybe it was because I was on the phone with my wife at the time all of this went down. Being near her, even if it's only our voices and the space occupied by our intermittent pauses that share a proximity of closeness, makes me want to be a better man and a legendary father.
After we wrapped up our what's-for-dinner-tonight chat, I got down on the floor to lay next to my littlest girl, who was by then completely underneath of and engulfed by the plush bear. Seeing me on the family room carpet, something of a rarity these days, instantaneously made her want to be nearer to me, to be made warm, protected, and loved immensely. We talked, both of us smothered by Barbaloot, about how the things the mean boy was saying to her -- that she is stupid/that he is the smartest kid in the class -- are not, in reality, him talking about her at all, that she is just the one he is saying these hurtful things to right now at this precise moment in time. But last year, at the other school he attended, it was someone else and next year, someone else again. He'll go on projecting his own fears and insecurities outward, because he doesn't actually believe that he is smart or safe or loved or has any prospects of ever being a productive human being capable of feeling honest emotions for another person. Okay, maybe I am taking it too far, it wouldn't be the first time... or last, but you get my point. I hope. And I think she did too. I hope.
I went on to say that if she felt like she could, that she might want to embody, not exactly verbalize mind you, a "whatever, dude" 'tude when the stooge spews his verbal diarrhea again in her direction or in the general direction of her buddies. My Brave Little Toaster of a child said that she'll try and added that she knows she's smart and that she doesn't really believe what he says about her but that it still hurts.
My daughter, along with yours and yours and yours too, deserves way more from this one boy and from every single person she'll meet from here on out. I'd like to think that the nimble, less-reactive version of me is being of some assistance to her as she starts to realize this fact, and begins to demand better from those with whom she shares space in this world.

Some definite improvements for passengers, but rusted-out steps in West Baltimore and long-stalled repairs at Penn Station
A severely dilapidated stairway at the West Baltimore MARC train station – so rusted-out you could see daylight through it in places – was the subject of an October 2013 story in Baltimore Brew.
We contrasted the potentially unsafe conditions at this station, located in one of the city's poorest communities, with the $1 million restoration Amtrak was undertaking at Penn Station near Baltimore's downtown.
So how do things look two years later? In both places, much improved, but with some lingering problems.
The rust-riddled metal staircase we spotlighted on the east side of the tracks facing the West Baltimore station's parking lot has been repaired, and a new sturdy-looking wooden one was added.
But the step risers on the west side of the tracks, out of sight of the commuter lot, are rusted-out and see-through, we noticed on our visit there this week.
Meanwhile, improvements are clearly evident at the Beaux Arts Penn Station – there were the renovated restrooms and other new features as well, including an ADA compliant sign showing real-time train status, a video-enabled welcome sign, bike racks, blooming begonias, outside seating and more.
And yet for months, the station's west entrance, facing Charles Street, has been obstructed by concrete planters blocking off a seemingly-stalled project to repair four steps.
Passengers are directed to walk around and use the front entrance.
