I do sympathise. <br /><br />That sounds a fascinating day and must have stirred up all your old desires and enthusiasms once again. Maybe there could be a way to get involved again, and use your skills and knowledge in some new research?<br /><br />Thank you for a photo of Avebury. Now, that is a place where I seem to find yet another version of me altogether!Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-48239687365457640512011-02-07T16:51:12.170-08:002011-02-07T16:51:12.170-08:00When I was young, that is what I wanted to do, be ...When I was young, that is what I wanted to do, be a female Indiana Jones. But unfortunatly, in the late seventies, females didn't do that, and I was labeled an oddball and some other nasty names. I was the one who loved to find bones from critters and dig in the dirt and look for arrowheads in my native Sandhills of Nebraska.<br />But I still look for bones, and dig in the dirt.<br />That is why I love your blog, your in-depth knowledge of history and lore and legends.

Didn't go down that road either :-(<br /><br />Your love of history and particularly social history shines through. I hope that when your life restarts at your new house (it feels like that doesn't it? I remember the feeling well) you can make more time for study and new experiences.<br />In the meantime please keep up your account. Its always lovely to read your posts.shariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899435247762808267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-60829434165945040672011-02-07T11:25:12.973-08:002011-02-07T11:25:12.973-08:00Ah - why is it that we, as females find it so diff...Ah - why is it that we, as females find it so difficult to be even slightly selfish and take care of ourselves once in awhile? I recently visited my physician and mentioned that I had this great yearning for a room in a 5 Star Hotel, with a king size bed, six fluffy pillows, curtains to blot out the light, a large screen TV and room service (and maybe a jacuzzi tub, eh?)- all for myself. Instantly seeing through me, she suggested that I take at least 10 minutes a day for just me, whether it is a solitary walk, a hot bubble bath or meditation. I was also to leave strict instructions for everyone to leave me be for those "me-time" minutes, even if I was standing on my head in the middle of the hall. My doctor also printed it out on my take home receipt! <br />Do just take a deep breath and let your mind wander to wonderful digs in Egypt, South America, Pompeii and Wales and let your mind dream!Dragonfly Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072079154293303454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-59893006842817655032011-02-07T09:35:35.797-08:002011-02-07T09:35:35.797-08:00I so understand and appreciate this post!

Archeology has always been my first love and thankfully it's one I can share with my husband.

So glad you had chance to be 'You' for a short time at any rate. Have still to read the link you sent properly - been to the vet (don't ask! B Baggins v Squirrel, squirrel lost but not without putting up a fight!), the reflexologist, 2nd alk with D.O.G. and now off to nurse for injections for SA - great joy:( The letter WILL arrive later this week!Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-65738780056466000462011-02-07T06:34:35.354-08:002011-02-07T06:34:35.354-08:00I hope you find time to be yourself more often.

I sometimes think that the real me is under here somewhere and it would be great if I could get out from the responsibilities from time to time. <br /><br />Love the photo (and I know that's not in Wales!)MorningAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719744167307369768noreply@blogger.com
