Scarlet and Black: March 2007
http://scarletandblack.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
There's No Place Like Home. Wednesday, March 28, 2007. I must say that I heartily enjoyed that aspect of it too. My only regret was that Blair himself wasn't made to look even stupider, but luckily he's achieved that amply without the help of filmmakers. PS Honourable mention to the stunning Aberdeenshire countryside which stole the show and made me feel even more patriotic than homesick. Go Deeside! Posted by Scarlet at 3:08 am.

There's No Place Like Home. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. Posted by Scarlet at 4:51 am. Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Written on the Body. Would you ever get a tattoo? So, Tom's post about things one would never do. But amid all these good reasons not to bother, here, if anyone is interested, is the poem which makes me want to do it anyway. We can't be wholly sure about all the words: the first line is fairly secure, but the second is a mess of textual conjecture. As one critic. Posted by Scarlet at 1:40 am.

There's No Place Like Home. Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Doesn't this sound like the coolest wedding ever? Posted by Scarlet at 1:01 am. Saturday, January 27, 2007. Posted by Scarlet at 3:56 am. Friday, January 26, 2007. Anyway, I doubt I could do better in any sustained way, so I will spare you translations of my personally compiled florilegia (really, what's wrong with me? Posted by Scarlet at 5:54 am. Thursday, January 18, 2007. When I look in the mirror again I have big bags under my eyes. I suppos...

Scarlet and Black: December 2006

There's No Place Like Home. Friday, December 08, 2006. The Scarlet Downie Combo is not a thing of beauty, but looking like an inflated tomato with tree trunk legs is, on balance, probably fractionally more attractive than frostbite. I just keep telling myself: shivering is never a good look. Posted by Scarlet at 3:38 am. Thursday, December 07, 2006. Posted by Scarlet at 3:56 am. Wednesday, December 06, 2006.

There's No Place Like Home. Friday, April 06, 2007. And it would still be worth the ticket price to watch her luminous lovelieness. Also, I got some sleep. Bonus. Posted by Scarlet at 2:15 pm. Thursday, April 05, 2007. However, the images were so distressing that I actually couldn't bring myself to look at the thing for long enough to see in any greater detail what invidious association they were attempting to draw. It appeared to hang on the idea of choice and why this was a bad thing (? Rome: a blast&#...

Scarlet and Black: February 2007
http://scarletandblack.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
There's No Place Like Home. Friday, February 23, 2007. I went to a rather nice Mass yesterday, with the nowadays obligatory but nevertheless rather nice Allegri Miserere and the Byrd 5-part. Unfortunately I managed to miss half the service by the unusual expedient of having done nothing whatsoever all day except sit aorund waiting to go to Mass. Am I the only person who is only ever late when they are early? Posted by Scarlet at 2:35 am. Wednesday, February 21, 2007. Diffugere niues", " The snows have sc...

There's No Place Like Home. Monday, September 25, 2006. The Holy and Undivided. This is Trinity College, though I made a bit of a bish and missed the prettiest bit of the facade. As far as I can gather, the University used to have a collegiate system like Oxford and Cambridge; I'm not entirely sure what function is performed by the remnants of this arrangement, other than decoration.
