Mid homework crisis (THANKS, ADHD!) naturally I went to the Garden Museum. In a 1,000 year old church with a cheerful cafe, it holds the tomb of Adm William Bligh, who facilitated the slave trade. It’s not all grim- there’s fun British garden history & lovely art #garden #museum #botanical

Royal Standard is near a police stable and sometimes we get the benefit of a training parade! #horses #police#mountedpolice

Today my class was fortunate to have the run of Great Dixter as guests of Fergus the Mad Plantsman. Lutyens added to the Tudor original and the garden is glorious even now. #garden #daffodils #England #flowers #GreatDixter

On Sunday I put in a market order & sold some Tesla stock I had forgotten about. It has been satisfying to see its plunge. Meanwhile my Games Workshop stock is going gangbusters! I’m loving Fidelity’s ominous graphics. #Schadenfreude #warhammer

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Much Ado in London! A whacky, energetic production! Dancing, singing, a bizarre & delightful set & a dumbed-down script of an already pretty dumb story, it was an absolute joy. I have never in my life seen such an outpouring of love from an audience!

My friend Susan sent me this pic from a Halloween party we hosted in 2005 or so. I made the dragon outfit- boy was it itchy!
