DAY 15-16-17 IT'S ALL THE SAME
You might say I've settled into a routine... up (too) early with a cup of tea and work, then breakfast (opens at 7), then off to the archives to take page pictures all day. Well, most all day. My boss has been letting me off a little early for good behavior. And I've started coming in a little late... today I got there at 9:15 and was the first one!
Hadi says you want to know what things look like on the INside... when I finished this afternoon, I stood up to stretch, picked up the camera and captured this photo of half of the room. In the foreground you can almost see the long tables at which researchers sit and type or sift or photograph. This is the inner research room, know here as MSSA, for ManuScripts and Archives. I must be missing an 's'.
As I was stretching (the camera work is kinking my back)-- I happened to look up at the ceiling and decided to take a picture of that too! Everywhere you look there are lots of elegant little details... Really quite lovely. You can click on the photo to see the elegant little details better if you like.Forgive the long absence-- somehow I thought all those little notes would carry me over a few days or that I'd done at least some of that on Wednesday.
All for now-- almost bedtime!

p.s. Waiting for Ashley to post pix -- she and 20 of her closest friends were going to the Pirates opening last night... hint, hint!

Hi Sally,
wow and here I thought you were sitting in a dark archives dungeon place. I take it back - forget the Harry potty similarities, that ceiling symbol and thoses arches remind me of Isengard.
Enjoy where you are - does Sid know where you are?
Home alone in the Shire!
My mistake, not Isengard but Gondor. I see I need a see the trilogy again.
Home alone in the shire
watching Lord of the Rings!
