So, hey! I take a sabbatical and meanwhile England ushers autumn in. How very dare it!



Chris and I went a-wanderin' in Formby and Southport today. I saw live red squirrels for the first time, which rocked. The fresh, crisp autumn air and the golden leaves were just as good.




Trees and stuff in Formby.



Squirrel!112



Action!squirrel



Random woodland stuff.



Sand dunes at Formby Point.



Chris being Chris.



This makes me feel like we're in a Michel Gondry film.



Onto Southport. Hijinks ensue! Or... not. Damn. All that walking necessitated water instead of a well-deserved beer.



There's always something so compellingly destitute about British seaside resorts.



Shiny lies!



Okay tired now kthnx bai.



Also, I have a chest infection that has outstayed its welcome. web stats analysis

Yay Formby point, where the squirrels will do anything for a peanut... :) Yay pics also, especially the handstand, impressive (was it also impressive when Chris got covered in sand on coming down? :) )

Sabbatical. People at my office used to actually take those you know, to rest from the long, hard work as a US Government employee. (When's the next one?) :p

I think I just fell in love with Chris. Lovely pictures. Hope you had the best time EVAH! Feel better quick.

ohhowipiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinedaway. ♥ ♥ ♥

Aye thankyou!

Yeah, it was a fun day. I forgot how pleasant England can be. ;)

Those squirrels are shameless.

It was so funny! He did a cartwheel coming down the sand dunes and on the beach. Sand everywhere.

'Twas good. :D

You can't squish yourself. :p

I can handle autumn as long as the leaves are on the trees. Once they're gone, I'll be even more angry and bitter and wine-guzzling than Bernard Black.

ZOMG NYC NE er... Canada. :D

oh becky, you look lovely...so good to see your face again!

if you ever make it across the pond again, i promise to take you to an equally destitute american seaside boardwalk world

*squish!*

[identity profile] rebness.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
*Mega squishes back*

I'm hoping to make it to your fair country next year! I might have to take you up on the destitute boardwalk. ;)

Widget! :D I love your hair!

Oh, I talked to my sister. I owe you an e-mail. :)

You'll be here next year? You're kidding? Whereabouts? And if so, care for a visit? I promise I'll be good if you promise not to slap me again!

[identity profile] rebness.livejournal.com 2006-10-18 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm aiming for March, Joshymon. DUDE. If you could get to NYC, or any of the Evil Crowd, I would love you forever and totally not slap you. Perhaps. ;)

:D :D :D :D Heee!

Reb is one in a million, but then, you already knew that. Don't make me say anything nice to you in public-- you know how it chokes me. ;)

March in NYC? Do you have any idea how craptacular the weather will be up there at that point? You should visit DC at the very beginning of April. The weather is warming up and the world famous Cherry Blossom Festival is going on. DC is never more gorgeous than it is the first two weeks of April. Besides, Becks will be in DC at that time too. Vera is a definite too. :)

Regardless of where you end up, I shall be there. :)

[identity profile] rebness.livejournal.com 2006-10-18 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Heeeee!

I shall keep you updated.

Josh! I'm also going to Montreal!

"TYPICAL HIGH TEMPERATURE IN MARCH: 0 celcius."

ARRRGH!

Yes, well...

Don't go getting your tongue stuck to any flagpoles while you're there.

Damn! What about hot Quebecois?

You can stick your tongue on them anytime you feel like it!
