I love small museums, they have a distinctive sensibility you can pick up in a full but short visit. I like climbing to the very top(the outside part) of St Paul's cathedreal. Its a slightly daunting, rickety climb, which seems to increase my enjoyment of the view. Its one thing to whiz up high in an elavator, its a whole nother thing to risk agrapobia and heart failure to win your view. I also like going to service there, you get to sit up in the choir stalls under the mosaics. Doing a tour of the surronding Wren's churches can also be neat. If you have the time, I've always loved Hampton Court Palace. Its not too far away. Same with Syon House, an Addams brothers masterpiece and one of the great great homes of England. Whistle Coward's "Stately Homes of England" as you walk through. Morris's Red House is also not too far out of town. Bath is worth the trip. Going to the theater is almost always worth the trip. Some Brit can be more up-to-date about this than me, but the bookstores near Charring Cross used to be fun. Get lost. This is my favorite way to see a city. Pick an area and wander abit. See how confused you can get. Discovering stuff on your own has a hidden treasure pleasure to it. And London is so chock(yup, theres that word again) full of stuff 1) you can never see everything enjoyable and 2)you can not really pick an area (alright, maybe the Barbazon) without interest. Better to see a small part happily, without fatigue or boredom and guided only by your own curiosity, than exhausting yourself seeing so much its just jet-lag hell. Get lost in the V&A. If you like palatial Deco The Savoy is worth a gander. And keep your wife happy. Stop by Liberty's and buy her a splendiferous scarf.:-) - ----------------------------------------- Mike Wells: >Off to see my beloved Bears beat the high holies out of Kay's Eagles >tomorrow.

Since Bath was mentioned, and if you are out in the midlands.....If you like walking in the country, I loved going to the Vale of the White Horse. It is 7 miles outside the villiage of Wantage, where there is a Wantage museum which can give you directions to the Vale. It is beautiful. It is this hilly region where the Romans and Pre- romans lived and there is a big chalk horse sketched into the hills by the ancient peoples and upkept now. When I say big, I mean stonehedge big. This was my favorite side trip this summer - more than Bath. eleanore On Saturday, January 19, 2002, at 12:52 PM, Redtailed Hawk wrote: > Chas: >> 3. sir john soan's museum in lincoln inn's fields [i think that is >> what the >> area is called] > > Well--heres's my opinionated advice;-) > > The Sir John Soan's house is close to the Brit Museum and Russell Sq., > and is, to my mind, wacky fun. > I love small museums, they have a distinctive sensibility you can pick > up in a full but short visit. > > I like climbing to the very top(the outside part) of St Paul's > cathedreal.

Anyone who doesn't own and love Macintoshes may want to skip down. The question is this: can I feasibly run OS X on my beige G3? It has 304 MB of RAM and 30 GB of hard drive, and a 266 processor. If you can tell me whether it would run well, please email me offlist at anansi@stormgreen.com. Thanks!

It's been great to see the oils mentioned here recently. New album, Capricornia, out 2-19 in the US. I've heard most of it and it's very good. I'm sure Melissa's recs are spot on, but sometimes the Species Deceases EP gets lost among the 80s albums, in case you missed that. Almost-live recordings of 4 strong songs, this EP was the bridge between the baroque arrangements of Red Sails and the more straightforward Diesel and Dust. Also, 1998's Redneck Wonderland is quite good, and often overlooked. +brian > i just want to say i've been delving into midnight oil's > entire back catalog and really loving it. i should have dome > this sooner - but then i didn't have fegs to point the way, > most especially Melissa - thanks! ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V11 #26 *******************************
