May 7th:

Suddenly I wonder if the dinner service is all gold because Dracula can't touch silver? The holy metal was definitely an established idea already.

How many of those books that Dracula calls "his companions" are things stolen out of the luggage of English victims over the years? Obviously he could order English periodicals and reference books and literature (Laura's family in Styria were ordering English books to their Austrian schloss a generation earlier) but something about the old magazines and newspapers - Things that visitors had picked up in the railway station to read on the trip and then absently kept with them all the way to his gate? - Feels very different. How many crosswords and riddle pages are filled in partway with some visiting clerk's smart secretary hand, and then finished in Dracula's best attempt at copying it? A gentleman in London would of course have a club, and would be expected to keep up friendly correspondence with other members, he couldn't very well write out his visiting cards in his own ancient handwriting...

He's got the Red and Blue books - Much debate over exactly WHICH red and blue books, but I'm choosing to believe that this is the Blue Book from the office of national statistics (ie, telling us about Britain's industries and GDP and where things are made, so by inference telling us about the New Rich industrialists) and Debrett's red book (ie, telling us about the peers, the historic ancient rich families and their relative positions, and where they are). So he will know who the major players are in England, from the ancient seat of a lord in Nottinghamshire, to the owner of the most productive steel mill in Sheffield, who live on each other's doorsteps but likely wouldn't give each other the time of day.

And Jonathan is already investigating- he doesn't know what yet, its only been a couple of days, but he's looking around, testing doorknobs, tracking what's going on around him, who he can hear in the distance (ie, nobody)...

I love the incongruity, of this brooding medieval edifice of Carfax, with its oak gates and barred windows sunken into the thick stone walls, and then chippy young solicitor Jon climbing about in the overgrown gardens with his Kodak camera, to take the photos for the new buyer, much like I still see estate agents doing today, hovering with their cheap digital cameras and leaning in against the windows when they've forgotten their keys too.

God, Dracula's manipulations are amazing. He knows already that he can control Jon by basic politeness - leaning on that employer-employee relationship - and by food (Which, looking ahead, will probably get more and more pronounced as Jon gets more sleep deprived and confused).

Dracula - Alastor

Johnathan Harker - Moxxie

Abraham Van Helsing - Husk

Mina Murray - Millie

Lucy Westenra - Charlie

Arthur Holmwood - Blitzo

Dr. John Seward - Vaggie

R.M Renfield - Angel

In the 1400's, during the time when the Ottoman Empire destroyed Constantinople and threatened Europe, Alastor a knight of the church, joined the Order of The Dragon to defend his home country and his people. In battle he was victorious, successfully slayed his enemies, and managed to rescue many prisoners of the Turks including a beautiful Byzantine princess. They fall in love and marry after the war but unfortunately, a life of wedded bliss was not to be.

The Order of the Dragon, had become corrupt after their leader chose to renounce God, sell his soul to Satan, and become the world's first vampire. The order's new plan to infect the world with this plague and create a vampire coven. Horrified, Alastor left the order and intended to flee to another country with his wife where they could live together peacefully. Tragically the order was insulted by his refusal to join their cause and decided to punish him. The order abducted Alastor's wife and burned her at the stake then he was forcibly changed into a vampire.

Driven insane by the loss of his wife and the torture of being transformed into nosferatu, Alastor terrorized Eastern Europe. Possessed by an uncontrollable blood lust, he killed many lives as did the Order, but he was merciful enough to ensure none of his victims became vampires themselves as opposed to the Order. And he swears vengeance against the order, intending to destroy it and then take his own life.

Centuries later, in the 1800's, an English solicitor Maximus (Moxxie) has become engaged to the lovely and devoted school mistress Mildred (Millie). He loves her more than anything in the world but feels that he is too poor to marry her so he desperately seeks any method to change his fortune. An opportunity for such arises when his employer assigns him to an extremely wealthy client in Transylvania though it requires him to travel to said country and stay there for a few days. Mildred wishes to marry before he leaves, insisting that she doesn't care about money and that his love is all she needs. But Maximus wants to wait til after he returns so he can afford to give her the wedding of her dreams and so much more.

While he's away, Mildred stays with her aristocratic but beautiful and innocent best friend Charlotte who has also become engaged. She has been arranged to marry Baldwin (Blitzo) a young lord who is believed to be of noble birth and dreadfully wealthy. However unlike Maximus and Mildred, Baldwin and Charlotte are not in love, though she tries to love him and he is good to her, he often neglects her for business and leaves her alone with his hateful sister Barbara (Barbie).

Upon arriving in Transylvania, Maximus is welcomed graciously by his client who happens to be Alastor and his servant Anthony, a young man who he rescued from being a sex slave. Alastor desires to secure an estate in London under the claim that he has established a new business over there but in actuality, he wishes to move there because that's where the order has traveled to. Maximus is suspicious of Alastor's intentions at first, especially when he hears and sees so many strange things during his stay. But he ends up complying with Alastor's request after seeing the man's incredible collection of treasure. In a few days, Maximus, Alastor, and Anthony go to London and he moves into the estate next door to Baldwin's.

One night Alastor catches a glimpse of Charlotte and is stunned to discover that she looks identical to his late wife. Desperate to meet her, he throws an engagement gala for Maximus and Mildred "To show his gratitude to him." At the event he and Charlotte fall in love at first sight and he suspects her to be the reincarnation of his lost love.

Meanwhile unknown to everyone else, Baldwin and Barbara have lost their fortune and their place in society due to their father going into debt and have secretly joined the order to recover what they've lost. Although Baldwin is completely unaware of the evil taking place within the cult. So while Baldwin is busy running errands and making secret deliveries for the order, Alastor begins tracking down and killing members of the cult one by one. One night his killing is witnessed by Maximus who also discovers the painted portrait of Alastor's wife and her resemblance to Charlotte. He flees to warn the others but Anthony intercepts him, they fight and both men knock each other into the river.

Luckily Anthony is found and taken to the hospital while Maximus is discovered by a nun and whisked away to a convent where he suffers from a brain fever. Mildred travels to said convent to marry him,  leaving Charlotte completely alone in the house with Barbara. But at night Alastor begins to invite Charlotte to one romantic evening after another, causing their love to grow stronger. During one of these outings Alastor professes his love to her and they share a passionate kiss but Charlotte quickly regrets it, telling Alastor that she wishes to remain faithful to Baldwin, and cannot see him anymore. Though heartbroken, Alastor accepts her decision.

Word of the mysterious way Alastor's victims died soon reaches Dr. Harlin Talanov (Husk) a professional in the medical field and in vampire hunting, having slain the very vampire who turned Alastor. He suspects vampirism is plaguing London and travels there with his headstrong apprentice Vagatha to investigate. They set up their research at the hospital with Harlin studying the dead bodies and Vagatha taking care of the living patients, thus leading her to meet and form a bond with Anthony. It isn't long before Harlin begins to suspect Anthony is a vampire's minion and he convinces Vagatha to get answers from him.

Back at Whitbay, Charlotte suddenly becomes ill but Barbara refuses to let Baldwin call a physician but when Mildred visits, she becomes suspicious and sends for Vagatha. The three women strike up a friendship and Charlotte confides in them about her friendship with Alastor, and Vagatha can't help noticing the similarities between him and Anthony's "master." Later Barbara lies to Baldwin that Charlotte's ailment is really a cover for an affair she's been having with Alastor. Charlotte pleads with Baldwin that she has been faithful and still retains her virtue but he does not believe her and furiously has her confined to her room until the wedding.

When she over hears Barbara trying to convince Baldwin to send her to an asylum, she cries herself to sleep. Alastor hears her cries and later sneaks into her bedroom. When she wakes, she reveals that she remembers her past life as his wife and confesses that she still loves him despite the fact that he's a vampire. She offers herself to him as his bride and they make love. Shortly after, Charlotte's illness increases and she takes a turn for the worst. Unable to lose her, Alastor turns her into a vampire and carries her off to his estate.

Meanwhile Maximus finally recovers from his fever and reveals Alastor's identity as a vampire. He, Baldwin, Harlin, and Vagatha then go to Alastor's state to stake him but are mortified to find him and a vampirized Charlotte sleeping together in a coffin. Charlotte then denounces her engagement to Baldwin and declares that she is now Alastor's wife, and wishes to be with him forever. Baldwin unable to accept this, tries to take her by force but Alastor attacks him and the others, only agreeing to spare them on Charlotte's behalf. The couple then choose to flee back to Transylvania.

That same night, Mildred is attacked and bitten, now in the process of becoming a vampire herself. The group believes Alastor is responsible and sets out to destroy him in order to save Mildred. The order of the dragon offers to help but Harlin does not trust them and advises the others to avoid the cult. Unfortunately Barbara persuades Baldwin to bring them along. As Mildred slowly transforms, she develops a psychic connection to Charlotte due to them making a blood sister pact sometime ago and reads her mind in order to locate her and Alastor.

They take a train to Transylvania to pursue them and during the trip Maximus, Harlin, and Vagatha can’t help noticing how uncomfortable Mildred acts around Barbara, and Harlin keeps picking up a peculiar yet familiar scent on her. When the group splits up, Maximus and Harlin search her bag, discovering a rare but very fatal poison that has no known cure. When they confront Barbara about it she reveals to them that Charlotte’s illness had been a result of her secretly poisoning her so she and Baldwin could inherit her fortune and use it to benefit the order. She also reveals that the order had transformed her into a vampire and that it was she who attacked Mildred.

She and cult then capture them, and try to force Mildred to feed on them. She almost succumbs to their influence and bites Maximus but her love for him allows her to resist long enough for Harlin to place a communion wafer on her head to slow down the transformation. Mildred helps them escape and the flee to warn Baldwin and the others.

Baldwin’s group manages to catch Alastor and Charlotte before they reach the castle, and a fight breaks out. During the battle Barbara attacks Charlotte revealing her vampire form and true nature to her brother. As she prepares to stake Charlotte, Alastor desperately throws himself on to his wife and takes the blow for her. Finally recognizing the evil of the order and his sister, Baldwin turns on them and fights back along with Maximus and the others upon reuniting with them. In the end, all the cult members are killed, the Order of The Dragon is finally destroyed, and Baldwin is forced to stake and decapitate Barbara thus saving Mildred from becoming a vampire herself.

A tearful Charlotte then takes the dying Alastor into the chapel where he was cursed and prays to God to let him live, while he repents for his sins and agrees to face death and damnation with dignity but pleads that Charlotte be spared. Heaven is moved by their love and by Alastor’s sacrifice, so through a miracle not only is Alastor saved but both he and Charlotte are reverted to their human forms, free to live a happy life together at last.

May 12 - Dracula 2023

Let me start with facts – the things I know can be verified through other sources and physical evidence. I can’t confuse them with subjective experiences, or my feelings about them. Eyewitnesses are well known for being the worst form of evidence, and I can’t assume that’s not true for me, as well.

Last evening’s meeting with the Count began with his asking of all sorts of legal and business questions. I had spent the time I’d been awake thus far going over books, just trying to keep my mind occupied, reviewing some of the information tested during my SQE. I tried to put everything he asked down in order, since there seemed to be a method to it all.

First, he asked if a man in England may have two solicitors or more. I told him that he could have a dozen or more if he really wanted. Someone having a whole team and a half of lawyers is far from unheard of these days, after all. I did warn him, that it’s a good idea to only have one solicitor engaged in one transaction at the same time, though, and changing from one to another in the middle of one is a whole production, and probably not to his interests unless gross incompetence is involved.

He understood well, and asked if there would be any difficulty with having one involved in banking, and another in shipping, in case something happened far from the banking solicitor. I encouraged him to give me an example so I wouldn’t give him the wrong information.

He said, “I shall illustrate. Your friend and mine, Mr. Peter Hawkins, from under the shadow of your beautiful cathedral at Exeter, which is far from London, buys for me through your good self my place at London. Good! Now here let me say frankly, lest you should think it strange that I have sought the services of one so far off from London instead of some one resident there, that my motive was that no local interest might be served save my wish only; and as one of London residence might, perhaps, have some purpose of himself or friend to serve, I went thus afield to seek my agent, whose labours should be only to my interest. Now, suppose I, who have much of affairs, wish to ship goods, say, to Newcastle, or Durham, or Harwich, or Dover, might it not be that it could with more ease be done by consigning to one in these ports?”

I answered that he could, but we have a system of agency for one another, so local work can be done at the behest of any solicitor. The system was meant to make it both easier and more efficient for the client.

“But I could be at liberty to direct myself. Is it not so?” he asked.

“Ah. Yes, it’s common for self-reliant businessmen who don’t wish any one group of people know their business.”

“Good!” he said. He went on to question me about consignments, the forms he’d need to fill out, and the whole spectrum of potential issues and pitfalls. I did my best to explain, and it seemed like there wasn’t a single scenario he didn’t think of. Once satisfied, with all his concerns addressed, and me heading to the somewhat outdated law books to confirm it as much as I could, he suddenly stood and said, “Have you written since your first letter to our friend Mr. Peter Hawkins, or to any other?”

I told him in vague terms that I hadn’t had any chance to communicate with anyone outside. I did my best not to let the bitterness show on my face.

“Then write now, my young friend.” His hand rested heavily on my shoulder as he spoke. “Write to our friend and to any other; and say, if it will please you, that you shall stay with me until a month from now.”

My face stilled, the only way to school my expression. “Is that how long I’ll be staying?”

“Yes. I desire it much; nay, I will take no refusal. When your master, employer, what you will, engaged that someone should come on his behalf, it was understood that my needs only were to be consulted. I have not stinted. Is it not so?”

“Ah yes. Of course.” My head bowed. What could I say, but yes? I am a prisoner, as I’ve said. My refusal would not unlock the castle’s doors. The way his presence bore down on me was a striking reminder of that. He knew my acquiescence was his victory and that he was fully the master of the situation, and used it as soon as he saw it.

“I pray you, my good young friend, that you will not discourse of things other than business in your letters. It will doubtless please your friends to know that you are well, and that you look forward to getting home to them. Is it not so?” As he spoke, he slid across the table three sheets of notepaper and three envelopes. The envelopes were of thin, plain paper with no print on the inside. Glancing to the side, he had a calm smile that just happened to make the points of those canines very noticeable. I got the message – careful what you right, because I can and will read all of it. I will right formal notes for now… I may try to get more detailed information out in secret.

Once I was done, I read a book while the Count wrote several letters of his own, referring to a few books on his desk as he went. He took my letters then and placed all of them together. He got up to put away his writing materials, and the instant the door closed, I went over and looked at his letters. This isn’t something I would do to anyone, normally, but information meant all the difference under the circumstances. They were addressed to Samuel F. Billington, No. 7, The Crescent, Whitby, another to Herr Leutner, Varna; the third was to Coutts & Co., London, and the fourth to Herren Klopstock & Billreuth, bankers, Budapest. The third and fourth weren’t sealed, but I heard the door handle move, and had to hurry back to my seat and resume my book.

He brought in yet another letter, and carefully sealed and stamped everything. Then he turned to me and said, ““I trust you will forgive me, but I have much work to do in private this evening. You will, I hope, find all things as you wish.” He paused at the door and added, “Let me advise you, my dear young friend—nay, let me warn you with all seriousness, that should you leave these rooms you will not by any chance go to sleep in any other part of the castle. It is old, and has many memories, and there are bad dreams for those who sleep unwisely. Be warned! Should sleep now or ever overcome you, or be like to do, then haste to your own chamber or to these rooms, for your rest will then be safe. But if you be not careful in this respect, then…” He made a motion of washing his hands. Ah. If I do, it won’t be his problem. I don’t doubt what he says. I don’t know what possible nightmare I could compare to my waking life and not have it seem pleasant.

Later – I stand by what I wrote, but there is absolutely no doubt now. I will be happy to sleep anywhere he isn’t, at this point. I placed the crucifix over the head of my bed. Any protection from my dreams after this would be a blessing.

When he left my room, I went out to the stair, to where I found that window looking out south. There was a sense of freedom in the vista, a reminder that there is the rest of the world out there, compared to the courtyard view, where the remains of my phone had disappeared at some point. I needed the fresh air, too – it’s like a prison in becoming slowly claustrophobic, as well. Or maybe it was the late night that did that? I’m not a night owl, and these long night hours are wearing at my nerves. I’m jumpy, and I keep imagining horrible things. God know it’s a well deserved thought pattern. I didn’t know how right I was about this place being a nightmares. I was looking out over the valley – it was a gorgeous night, with the moon so big and bright it almost felt like daylight. It bathed the hills in soft yellow light, and the shadowed areas almost seemed like voids in their blackness. The fresh air and the vista helped calm me. I leaned forward to get a deep breath and glanced down and too the left, where I had to imagine the Count’s rooms were, and caught something moving.

I hid a little back and looked down as hidden as could be done under the circumstances. I saw the Count leaning his head out much like I had. I couldn’t see his face from above, but I could tell by his head and hands. I had also not seen anyone else here, so it seemed like the reasonable conclusion. It seemed kind of interesting at first because as it turns out, besides the stressful games of verbal cat and mouse, being a prisoner is very boring. But then he kept moving out… and out, his whole body, and start to scale the walls face down, like a lizard or a spider. His cloak spread out around him like great wings. I wondered if it was some kind of bizarre tree shadow I had mistaken out of tiredness, but another look told me it was no mistake. His fingers and toes grasped the corners of the stones, and he moved with some speed down the wall.

What on earth am I dealing with in this place? I can feel terror taking hold and there’s no way of getting away from it… I’m trapped and surrounded by horrors.

(A/N: If Jonathan seems a little more snarky than in canon, it’s because I’m trying to think in terms of a post-1990s culture. We’re pretty steeped in irony and afraid of sincerity. He’s not too deep into it, because Jonathan was always remarkably emotional and still is here, and is very sincere. Stress is also getting to him. No idea what that’s like. >_> I did want to reassure that I have thought about it, so it wasn’t just my own writing voice sneaking in (tho its prob also that).

I’m also making an effort to write more in the active voice. Besides sounding a little more modern, it’s good practice for my original writing.

In the line about how not wanting any one person to know their business, Jon absolutely sounds like he’s describing white collar criminals or the mob. He is very aware of this fact, but he was trying to be factual and didn’t add it.

1 hour and 15 under the deadline - just like college.)

Lawyers in 19th century Leeds neatly sorted into a table!

So I while back I compiled a table of various legal professionals of 1830s Leeds based on a this handy book in order to (somehow) comperatively assess their incomes and what you may see above is the fruit of one and half nights' worth of labour. If you're somehow still reading after this point, please proceed as I explain the method of this madness and reflect a little on its effecacy.

The structure of the table

In general, the spreadsheet contains 3 tables with the personal info for each legal profession (attorneys/solicitors, barristers and law clerks respectively) and 1 table with a list of the wider than usual townhouses and their residants/occupant.

The basic structure of the first 3 tables goes as follows:

So, there is the full name and title of the individual, then his profession ei. what type of legal qualifications he has (barrister/solicitor/whatever), additional employment/other employment - which contain the information about what he actually does for a living (other than private client work, which is presupposed). The solicitors/attorneys have this category devided into four separate columns: ensurance, road companies, employment for "buildings", and other employment. I did this because a lot of the solicitors/attorneys were often employed in several places at once and it was particularly common for them to work for ensurance companies (both as law clerks and agents) or the road companies responsible for the maintenance of local turnpike roads. The clerks table lacks the other employment category because none were listed in the book.

The office and residance of course contain the individual's office and home addresses (the law clerks had no separate office address listed). The fun thing about these is that you can kind of retroactively trace what the makeup of different streets in 1830s Leeds actaully looked like and you can clearly see the commercial district when you try to plot the office locations on this contemporary map of the town:

^^^^ Charles Fowler: Plan of the Town of Leeds and the Environs 1831 (the streets with the most offices are marked in yellow)

Another map with better definition can be found here. This one also happens to have the townhouses categorised by their "rate", which is quite helpful, I find.

Anyway, I suppose you could also plot the residances on a map as well but, to be honest, I've tried and it's not that intresting or useful; you just get to confirm your suspicion that lawyers (not law clerks) live in "first rate" (e.i. nice) houses, which really doesn't mean much in the end, since one "first rate house" can be twice the area of another "first rate house" and I can't imagine that that would have no bearing on the rent. Also some lawyers live out of town, so it's difficult to plot their exact address in general.

The last category (present only in the solicitors/attorneys table) is the London agent(s), which contains the names of solicitors and attorneys stationed in London who presumably conducted business in the high courts and Chancery on the behalf of their client solicitor/attorney back in Leeds.

The 4th table with the house numbers

This one was essentially a desperate attempt to factor in what the first rate-second rate delineation could not account for - the different house sizes. The table compares the residants of the "double" townhouses of Park Lane and Park Square, but since it's hard for me to guage the incomes of these merchant and such, I can't exactly use them to approximate one for our Bolland Fearne the "solicitor & many other things" guy either.

In conclusion, I did not succeed in my aim. Maybe if I had the rent/land price for the properties, or something like that this could have worked? As it stands, the income of a well-established solicitor practicing in Leeds or the adjescent area remains a mistery to me. I'm not even in the UK, so accessing town records directly is out of the question, but if anyone has a decent resourse to recomend, please do. (I beg you!)

Anyway, hope this post was entertaining to someone at least. Will this blog end up being about georgian lawyers? I wish I knew...

Transfer of workforce and increasing responsibility of an UAE immigration lawyer

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the sudden radical political shift in the US has suddenly despised a large number of global firms to transfer their company executives deployed to various nations to the U.S. for their designated roles. This can also be attributed to the fact that the US has come out as the clear winner in the race of nations for being the world’s trade capital.

The US-based employers can guarantee their employees safe and lawful visits by abiding by the visa categorizations on the basis of the professional context of the transferee, the duration of the employee’s proposed stay, the nationality of the foreigner, and a number of various other norms. These nuances about foreigner’s visits and stays are all mentioned in the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The foreign business travellers arriving in the US rely on B-1 visas which compliments them legally a short stay which can be anything less than 12 months. There is no scope for U.S. employers to recompense these visitors. A person who visits the US as a business visitor can take part in the following activities while his stay:

•             Discuss planned investment or purchases

•             Attend meetings and participate in them fully

•             Conduct negotiations

•             Solicit sales or investment

•             Make investments or purchases

•             Interview and hire staff

•             Conduct research.

Also, you must be aware of the fact that people entering in the U.S. for tourism or commercial purpose for 90 days or less from eligible countries (such as Western Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand) may be entitled to visit the U.S. without a visa if their prerequisites match with the visa waiver program requirements. The nuances involved in the immigration approval process has upheld an all-new stream of Immigration Solicitors in London who are proficient in their work. The leading immigration solicitors in London bifurcate company-sponsored employment approval for foreign nationals into two categories:

(1) Immigrant status or permanent residency: a company may patron a foreign national for permanent residence.

(2) Non-immigrant status: a particular employer may seek permission to hire a foreign person for a particular period of time as a provisional employee.

AnUAE immigration lawyer has found some visa categories that allow the transitioning from Non-immigrant (Temporary) Residency Status to Immigrant (Permanent) Residency Status, but these privileges are not covered in all categories. These cases are handled under the influence of dual-purpose where some non-immigrants are allowed to enter and/or stay in the U.S. provisionally with a non-immigrant visa (such as H-1 or L) even though they have exhibited a long-term commitment to stay lastingly. B-1, B-2 and F-1 categories do not permit themselves to the application of the dual intent principle.

Each visa category has extremely specific regulations which are looked after carefully by an UAE immigration lawyer, most of which easily harmonize between the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a portion of the Department of Homeland Security, and other U.S. government departments, such as the Labor Department for smooth and easy redressal of clients because the timelines are very important in this kind of cases and involve large documentation.

The major visa categories for the temporary non-immigrant employment of foreign nationals include L-1A (Multinational Managers/Executives), L-1B (Specialized Knowledge), H-1B (Professional Workers), and TN Application (Canada and Mexico).

08/09/2024. Bonjour tout le monde, it is currently 15c and the sun is shining brightly.

It has been a fantastic week which culminated in a birthday 🥳. “Mr. Solicitor” and “The Recovery Coordinator” arrived bringing with them “The Great British Weather”, to be honest I would have preferred them to have left it at home, but nevertheless it was great to see them. Mind you two adults stripping off in my front hall was not the reunion I had expected, but as they were soaked to the skin it was better than dripping water all around the house. My neighbour had been to pick them up at the station, I think an “ark” would have been a better mode of transport as his car was soaked inside while getting luggage and people into it. On Friday we noticed he had a new car……. was this due to the water which had poured into the old one on Monday?????

I have eaten more this week than I have done in ages and I think I have kept my visitors tummies full too.

They have done shopping for me, been out for long walks and then have returned home to read. I have been gifted 14 books 😮 so I don’t need to buy any for some time.

Friday, we got a taxi into town and went to a restaurant for lunch. We all had pizza followed by some amazing desserts. It was a restaurant “Mr. Solicitor” and I had visited back in 2019 and he really loved the food then too. It was a good choice and afterwards (as it was rather sunny) we wandered down to the Hôtel de Ville, which is where I snapped these photos.

My friends have just messaged me, rather than visiting, leaving me time to spend with my family.

My gorgeous granddaughter returned to school this week and at the end of the week was given an award. Apparently it’s a weekly award for resilience and respect, how wonderful. She was thrilled to see her brother at assembly with Mummy and Grandad.

Spending my birthday with family makes for a lovely day. I don’t normally mind being here alone but it is such a change. Last year my birthday coincided with having my stem cell transfusion, I was in hospital for three weeks. It was ok having my birthday in hospital but it is a whole lot nicer being at home (with family).

I think I have to go to hospital twice this week, Monday is treatment day in Paris and I am booked into Troyes on Wednesday for my platelet transfusion. I hope to have two workmen coming on Tuesday, keeping my fingers crossed for that. It will be lovely to get this work done and out of the way before the winter sets in.

“The Photographer” is going to London next , staying overnight and then doing some photos for his current employer. That’s great, getting more jobs with his camera is good.

The music section this week will be pretty old ones (again) but sometimes it’s so nice to hear them again. The first one is “Stumblin’ In” by Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman this is from 1978 and is one of those songs that gets into your head and you keep humming or singing it. The second song is by Randy Crawford, it’s “Almaz” which was released in 1986.

So today I received a video call from my grandchildren, they had been baking cakes and cookies yesterday, was that to celebrate “Grand-meres” birthday? Of course I had to show them my presents, I think they were amazed that I had received two jigsaws 😃. Then I will be preparing for Paris on Monday I this afternoon I will relax (probably with a book).

Whatever you are doing today, have a wonderful time.

Bon dimanche.
