Bristol and Exeter...

I spent yesterday roaming around Exeter, and visiting the cathedral there. The choir was rehearsing. Most beautiful choir I ever heard.

Every day, my laptop is in worse shape, and harder to use, rvrn though I'm not moving it around. I hope it (and the photos on my hard drive) survive the trip home.

Bath...

I spent the day in Bath with maaseru, Sarah, and our friends Neil and Jong from Ottawa, who met us at the Bath Spa train station. We took the bus tour and then I went to the Fashion Museum at the Assembly Rooms, which had an interesting exhibit of the clothed worn by Princess Diana. Found a wonderful place for dinner, called All-Bar-One, which had the best calimari I have ever tasted - followed by the best rice pudding.

At one point, I walked into the square in front of Bath Abbey and had a strong, vivid memory of being in exactly the same place, looking at exactly the same thing, when I was seventeen years old.

Nice thoughts of Georgette Heyer -- !

And my laptop is deteriorating every day.
