It's a quiet time of the year here as far as work goes- it's Summer so everyone is off on holidays and the kids aren't in school, and even the staff at StAG get a much needed rest from their labours. I'm picking up a few new photography projects, and helping to plan some events at Anglesey Abbey, but that's about it. These days I've been sorting through all the photos that I took over the 5 weeks that I was in the US...it's taking a VERY long time to do that as there are like 3000 or 4000 images! But it's getting sorted bit by bit.
Yesterday we had a nice day out with the international families group- it's a bit weird since we don't have any kids, but it does give us plenty of chance to talk to the parents, and we went out to Wimpole's Home Farm where there are animals to pet (and talk to) which always keeps me fairly happy. I spent about 10 minutes petting a goat- it was great. :) They also did a cow milking demonstration, and many of the internationals were interested in that. At least one friend remarked when he saw a horse and it's foal that he never knew that horses fed their babies with milk. When you are from a major city there are lots of things that you simply don't know or have never been exposed to.
Today we're trying to sort out 2 table things we're making for Nelly to be able to use the cat flap- it involves sawing, drilling, and other fun things like that. :) I've a little design in my head that I'm working off of- i'll try to get some photos up of the process. I hope we can do it today, but we need to buy a handsaw as no one here has a saw! I might be able to borrow one from the Abbey but the blades on those are notoriously dull. :)
That's it from Cambridge for now- over and out!
