Real Life

So now that I'm done blogging about our holiday I suppose I'll have to go back to blogging about real life. Not as exciting, I'm afraid.

John has been working on his term papers. I have been applying for jobs. I did go do some storytelling at the Dereham library last Saturday. There weren't many takers but the kids who did listen were sweet. I'm going back on Friday to talk about Americans in Norwich during WWII (that PowerPoint presentation I've been working on) at a school. (It is America Week, a celebration connected with Abraham Lincoln's bicentenary. Lincoln had some relatives from Norfolk.)

We have a really bad clog in our shower drain. I cleaned the bathroom before we left so that the mold wouldn't take over. But it did anyway. In the drain. We have tried lots of chemicals and a home made coat hanger snake (once I figured out how exactly to jam it down the pipe) but alas, nothing has worked thus far. We have been using the downstairs bathroom for days (thank goodness it is warmer, at least - the downstairs bathroom isn't heated) and last night slept in another room because of real or imagined fumes.
