Well, all, the semester is winding down for us, here in Glasgow. Yep: you read that right. We have 3 weeks until school’s all done, and we can do some frantic packing and head back to California for the long break. 6 weeks of vacation, an escape from the cold and dark

(Glasgow is down to 8.5 hours of “daylight” now, and will get down to 7 by the time Christmas rolls around), and time to enjoy just having time to visit with friends and family … er … write without interruption. Yeah. Because, you know, they take lots of vacation in California. Right.
To wrap up the time at Glasgow, I finally got around to taking a picture of the “whale-bone” sculpture. What? Doesn’t it look like a pair of whale bones? No?
We’re wondering what to do with our orchids (which have sent up additional flowers!), and with our wee cacti, and the bromeliad. Who can we trust to keep them? Who would we like to traumatize after their death entrust with their care? Because, really, if they die … well, it won’t be pleasant, will it? These are the first orchids we’ve ever managed to keep alive! Hmm. We’ll think on it some more, but we’re afraid that they’re going to travel down to Largs, with Alex.
St. Andrew’s day is coming up, November 30. We may try to make a last effort at seeing something Scottish, the weekend before we leave. We don’t know, though. We’re really feeling the hibernation urge, and it’s not even grown terribly cold.
