Sunny Afternoon

I played hooky from marking on Friday afternoon to take the d's and my camera out into the gorgeous Fall sunshine and for a walk at Mt Doug. I'm so glad I did, because rumour has it that the weather will be not so good for the w/end, which in a way I'm pleased about as it gives me a good excuse to stay in and mark papers.

The d's and I had a wonderful walk, though; I was so happy that Cholmondeley made it to the top of "mini Doug." He had to be helped up a couple of steep spots, and he was tired after, but I'll have a happy afternoon with him to remember.

Also, I live in a spectacularly beautiful place, as you will see ( behind the cut )

A Joyful Noise

Continuing on the "awesome bits of music" theme, I'll raise you this a capella duet from Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert. If you can watch/listen to this without getting goose-pimples, I'll be surprised. It almost always brings tears to my eyes.
