The French Reconnection: In which we see another third of the Natural History Museum
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-which-we-see-another-third-of.html
Friday, July 11, 2014. In which we see another third of the Natural History Museum. Pretty bizarre if you ask me, with giant tusks jutting out of both upper and lower jaws. The blue zone also had a fairly interesting exhibit on human development, which seemed to have a strange fascination with childbirth. Not, mind you, with pregnancy, nor with infancy, but only with childbirth. I don't have an explanation either. A dwarf elephant tooth—before heading for home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The French Reconnection: In which we transition
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-which-we-transition.html
Thursday, July 3, 2014. In which we transition. It seems now that there is so much too write about, and at the same time, too little. Blaise flew to Paris on the 1st of June, and the kids finished school on the 2nd (a full day this year since the diocese has evidently decided that the school is no longer allowed to count Mass and distributing report cards as a day of school).

The French Reconnection: In which we go to the Natural History Museum
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-which-we-go-to-natural-history-museum.html
Monday, July 7, 2014. In which we go to the Natural History Museum. After a leisurely stroll around the outside displays of the room, which were full of mineral specimens.

In which we discover that the Borough Market sells. In which we see another third of the Natural Histo. In which we hate the British Museum.

The French Reconnection: In which we remember Diana
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-which-we-remember-diana.html
Wednesday, July 9, 2014. In which we remember Diana. So, having figured out where we were going to mass, we had to figure out how we were going to get there, which we discovered was going to be a bit tricky on Saturday evening when we discovered the signs at the underground saying that "our" station was going to be closed on Sunday morning so that they could work on the tunnels.

The French Reconnection: In which we see rocks and decorative arts
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-which-we-see-rocks-and-decorative_14.html
Monday, July 14, 2014. In which we see rocks and decorative arts. Switched on, and the NHM has free wifi, and so I decided that once we'd gotten to the museum I'd ask him to use his phone to try to locate mine, which meant admitting that I'd been scatterbrained enough to either forget my phone or get it stolen, neither of which reflected particularly well on me, but it seemed better than spending the entire day worrying about it.

The French Reconnection: In which we play a lot of video games and I read Little Women in itsentirety
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-which-we-play-lot-of-video-games-and.html
Friday, July 11, 2014. In which we play a lot of video games and I read Little Women in its entirety. There actually isn't a whole lot more to say about Tuesday. Cherry and I were the only people to even leave the flat, and we only did so because the alternative was to eat pan-fried paperboard with salt for dinner. July 13, 2014 at 7:18 PM.

The French Reconnection: July 2014
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 14, 2014. In which we skip the Mapplethorpe exhibit. Now Blaise is really a modern art person (and I'm really not, but I'm beginning to tolerate it somewhat better than I once did), and so, rather than returning to the National Galleries we headed to (the) Tate Modern. And a large Mapplethorpe exhibit which we skipped, and a lot of other art that we didn't skip, including the Donald Judd sculpture that became even more famous when some parents let their kids climb all over it. Of course, tha...

The French Reconnection: In which we transition (part the second)
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-which-we-transition-part-second.html
Friday, July 4, 2014. In which we transition (part the second). In the meantime, we would have to get where we wanted to go by foot, bus, or some combination thereof. Sunday, we walked to Meijer to catch the bus to campus for mass, and from there to the movies since Sapphire's friends were getting together a group to watch The Fault in our Stars. And then the bus back home (via campus) and the hike back from Meijer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Twice in a Lifetime. I see London, I see France.

The French Reconnection: In which we superficially see a lot
http://thefrenchreconnection.blogspot.com/2014/07/in-which-we-superficially-see-lot.html
Tuesday, July 8, 2014. In which we superficially see a lot. It's difficult to know how to write about what we did on Friday. From one perspective, we did a great deal. From another, we did almost nothing. Or rather, we saw a lot of different things, but none of them at any great depth. Therefore, I will write a blog post of similar lack of depth.
