On the Eve of Christmas Eve…sort of
It has been Christmas business as usual at my house, and my time has been consumed by shopping, visiting friends and relatives, cleaning, baking, and entertaining. The big downside of doing lots is that there is almost no time for writing, even though there is plenty to write about. We have had three sets of…

The Zoo (Condensed)
I’m picking up where I left off with the mortuary. An odd start to the day for most people, but I seem to gravitate towards weird situations. It was a beautiful day, sunny and in the mid-twenties – a stark contrast to the chill of the mortuary. The brief summer we get in this country…

Things to do in Budapest
I’ve had a couple of weeks to recover now after the adventure to Budapest, and I’m pretty much settled back into regular life. Commuting up and down to Belfast every morning isn’t that bad, unless it’s Moira at 5 o’clock, in which case I have been sorely tempted to get out of the car and…

Cases, vegan baking, and other jazz
What am I to write about this week? My second week in Altnagelvin, and my first case has been written up. That was an ordeal, but I’m hoping the first one is the hardest and after that things should be easier. Normally, for each attachment we have to write up at least one case, that…

Guns and Garage Sales: Part One
Hello again from Oregon City! There has been so much going on since I last posted. I’m going to try and recall as much as I can, but I can’t guarantee that it happened exactly like this. Working with the animals has been a constant throughout the time here, and from time to time helping…
