facebook blunder, Stella in Paris, Sarah and Olga in London

Seattle Times: Facebook parent company fined $25M for WA campaign finance violations Linda Sue, We have an update in our case against Facebook — a judge just ruled that Facebook is required to pay the maximum $25M penalty for their violation of our campaign finance law. In case you missed it — earlier this month a judge ruled that Facebook violated the law that requires campaign advertisers, such as newspapers, TV stations, and yes, even Facebook, to maintain records of their political ads and make them available to Washingtonians like you. They didn’t violate this just once or twice, but 822 times. Facebook intentionally disregarded state law and questioned our election transparency laws.  Bob Ferguson

So, there is that! 

I downloaded all of my photos from my I-pad from 2014 until 2018. I tried to make a big deal out of it but then realized that all apple products are married to one another- makes it so simple!

These are a few October photos , from France , when Stella turned 64, and London, my home away from home.

We went to Amsterdam first, to get over jet lag and to fall in love with the city- In Paris Stella had a birthday- we stayed in the coolest place!
The little candelabra was provided by a woman traveling with us who turned out to be a child in a woman's body , but way more irritating. That is a story for another day and one you probably would not like to read.

 

Pumpkin cat.

In Hampstead with Olga and her humans. We walked to the heath on a lovely autumn day. Olga was very patient waiting for Sarah and I to finally find our way to the flat and then settle in for a cuppa with Dave before Steve , drumming his fingers, and Olga, jumping from foot to foot got us out and up to the heath. Very patient folks!

After that it was just another London day- you know, the usual....people walking to work...hanging out in vans, dressing remarkably well.

Sarah ate some kind of mushroom...She became tiny.

I have about 4 million shots of my happy place. These are just a few at  the end of October.

 

Sarah getting some distance.

Great British frugality, making it work.

 

Repair re-use, save. learned from experience, especially through two world wars. Probably will come to that again. Buy quality wool, DIY. I stopped in at an exhibit of a stitch in time .

The entire display was stitchery, all sorts.

This white jumper was a grannies, saved through four generations in a most artful way.

 

And  other stuff....There were cloth sculptures, stitched heavily. Amazing work - there were microscopic stitched works of goat gut vellum. Lord, who has the eyesight for that?? Some were so unbelievably fine and some were sassy. 

I could go on for days with photos from that exhibit alone. But this is not the place- who has that sort of time?

I am so pleased that Apple products make it so easy to marry their devices together- it is one big apple love fest here on my table at the moment!

Olga defying gravity.
