I’m totally amazed with a blazing speed Apple UK handles all deliveries. While most of US guys who’ve ordered Snow Leopard by pre-order (i.e. before 27th) have already got their desired box with a white spotty kitty on it, myself – on September, 1st still observing the following picture on “Track my order page”
Seriously, it’s not funny anymore. These G3 Worldwide Netherlands guys - how are they handling their deliveries? Yes I know bikes are quite popular for commuting in Netherlands, but I don’t think using bike to deliver my Snow Leopard was a good idea at all; otherwise – I honestly can’t understand why the hell it takes so long.
Photographs are smiles that last forever
Snowmen that can never melt away
Birthday celebrations caught in amber
Rescued from the vaults of yesterday Faces that were once more dear than diamonds
Boys who kept you up until the dawn
Houses filled with bicycles and babies
Ghosts who left their shadows on the lawn Then turn the page And see the children grow
The adults age, the lovers come and go Photographs are holes in time’s grey curtain
Through them we can peek into the past
Call upon our parents and our children
Pop a cork with members of the cast There they are, the days of jazz and joy-rides
Snaps of magic moments lit by laughs
If you ever find my house on fire
Leave the silver, save the photographs. Fran Landesman
Few more pictures from Camden Market - photographs of Sofia and Natalie should follow at some time.
…with Natalie and Sofia; soon will be off for Camden market - myself is anxious to know, WTF I’ll be doing there while girls are shopping.
Yep, my sister indeed is in London. And she’s doing pretty well, you see!
The Royal Oak In 1651, when King Charles of Scotland, son of the recently executed Charles I, and his army met Oliver Cromwell’s troops at Worcester, they were soon on the run. With Cromwell’s men on their heels, Charles Giffard, King Charles’s adviser, knew that they had to move fast. A reward of £1,000, a vast sum of money, had been offered for the king’s capture, so Giffard disguised the monarch as a woodsman.
Samuel Pepys later wrote: “[Giffard] told me … that he knew but one way how to pass the next day, and that was to get up into the great oak, in a pretty plain place where we might see round about us, for the enemy would certainly search at the wood for people that had made their escape… While we were in this tree we saw soldiers going up and down in the thicket of the wood, searching for persons escaped.”
It took another six weeks before the young king was finally smuggled to safety in France. He finally returned to London on May 29, 1660. In 1664 this day was made a national holiday to mark the Restoration and was officially called “Oak Apple Day” in honour of the oak tree that had protected the king from certain death.
It was surprise to me to find out the history behind the innumerable amount of the Royal Oaks here in the UK. Rest of “The stories behind Britain’s pub names” also worth some attention.
