I'm trying to imagine an adventurous future despite this. But so far I'm living rather unadventurous and work-filled days. Nice to see you here. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-36803140963106651342017-06-21T18:43:46.124-04:002017-06-21T18:43:46.124-04:00I agree!I agree!37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-26257429509408815222017-06-21T18:43:29.665-04:002017-06-21T18:43:29.665-04:00Kathleen!

Let's share notes. I'm so glad to hear you're thinking of blogging again.

And I'm with you, that engineering language is completely foreign to me. It fascinates me that some brains actually find it crystal clear.

I love your recent accounts of nature, of trees and animal gods and sea. Much better than walls. I adore you back. xo37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-89213183414159324992017-06-21T18:26:01.555-04:002017-06-21T18:26:01.555-04:00Jenny-o, blog posts can be deceiving.

And there are other hard things happening that I'm not writing about because someone else's privacy needs. But you are not alone, my friend. xo37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-1625414071718681152017-06-21T18:22:26.564-04:002017-06-21T18:22:26.564-04:00A Cuban in London: I suppose I wasn't there, a...A Cuban in London: I suppose I wasn't there, and so cannot truly discern what the sense was of the people taking pictures. I see how passionately you feel about what you witnessed, and so I must respect that. It is horrific all around. No doubt it is unhelpful to hold an opinion when one is so far away and did not experience the aftermath first hand so thank your for your response here and on your blog. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-20224583908152240862017-06-21T17:19:47.264-04:002017-06-21T17:19:47.264-04:00Beautiful photos and fab times you are having. :-)...Beautiful photos and fab times you are having. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for your response on my blog with which I disagree politely but also strongly.<br /><br />Had it been a demo instead of a fire, I would have agreed with you. Guerrilla photojournalism is needed now, especially with a polarising media. But Grenfell is different. There have been many reports accompanied by footage. We don't need amateur images that will very likely crop up on survivors' social media feed in years to come. We are all interconnected which means that the photo I have just taken on my phone now will appear on your Facebook page or your Twitter feed by virtue of you leaving a comment on my blog. Let's think of what these people have just gone through. Let's think of the mental support they will need. And then think of the "trigger" upon seeing images of their trauma five years down the line.<br /><br />No, I disagree. We don't need people to act as vultures. We need people to put their mobile phones away. Not everything needs to be recorded.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-61478251789495301292017-06-21T17:00:50.726-04:002017-06-21T17:00:50.726-04:00Your niece's hair is STUNNING!!!Your niece's hair is STUNNING!!!<br />Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867093574848548843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-36652916428306401672017-06-21T17:00:13.208-04:002017-06-21T17:00:13.208-04:00wow!

I have started an instagram account and I have to say I am slightly addicted to Pinterest which can suck up a whole ton of time I could use creatively!<br />Going off to dinner now but will return to read and catch up with you! It's good to see your children so happy and beautiful! My girls both live in CA and my son who has been home for a year is heading back to grad school at Georgetown.
