More pictures and chatter












Photos of the Cathedral, which establishes the height above which nothing else is to be built in Hamilton. Developments in the visual impact zone have to provide info on how the proposals stack up relative to views of the cathedral tower - a nice touch.

One of the (many!) rainbows I have seen since being here. The most gorgeous was one that appeared to reach from ocean to ocean, on either side of the island, a complete rainbow with oddly strong colors.

And photos of the super-great-deal studio, caretaking for the rental house - a rather concentrated living style, but lots of amenities to go with it. Still ruing that, tho, in terms of living arrangements, this purple house apartment is very nice and more livable.

Bosslady is pushing on me getting my license. Not happy-making. Tho if I gain confidence with driving I might persuade myself into a vehicle of some sort, which would open up a bunch of options that otherwise I can't do because of my bus turning into a pumpkin at 6.15.

In what has been a very typical example of the friendliness of people here, I'd hiked over to the Bermuda Sun office at lunchtime to pay for a heater (one of those oil-filled, non-blower heaters) I'd bought for $40, an absolute steal here. I wasn't really planning on trying to walk back to the office with it - they are a little heavy, and while not a long walk it was a longer one than I wanted to make while toting the heater. The guy selling it decided he'd walk part of the way carrying it for me, then decided he'd just come all the way to the office with me. Very nice. Of course, he is a reporter for the twice-weekly newspaper, knew I worked for Planning, and may have thought he was cultivating a contact - but whatever works!

I go look at rugs and things I need/want this weekend, how fun.
