Never stop learning

Been needing a new adventure for sooooo long.

I’ve joined an archeological dig in Clare, Ireland. I’ll learn a ot of the basics of the field dig, and be helping excavate the site at the same time. I was involved for a long time with an Ice Age dig sponsered by the Buffalo Museum of Science. However, because that was working in the middle of a swamp, there was a lot of improvising and bending of rules. Got the job done, though. 1 day ago

“You are the cheese to my macaroni. You are the horizon to my sky. You are the bacon to my eggs. You are the laces to my sneakers.You are the jelly to my peanut butter. You are the smile to my face.You are the gravy to my mashed potatoes.You are the bubbles to my bath. You are the milk to my cookie.You are the ink to my pen.You are the ketchup to my french fries.You are the water to my ocean.You are the icing on my cupcake.”

Counting your money (even ones you don’t have) is quite fun not to mention rewarding. Here are a few examples:

1. By giving up our bad habit we save 7300 a year (holy cow!)

2. By ironing my husbands shirts we save 840 a year (not bad)

3. His job not having a free parking – we lose 850 a year :(

I need to look more into ways to save money because this year is going to be tough with all the wedding and traveling expenses. It also looks like it will be 2 weddings – my cousin put his date a week before my sister’s. 2 weeks ago

I drive alot for my job and I have recently discovered podcasts of lectures that will allow me to structure my learning. But now have gone through lecture series in history and maths, but really want to structure it and write notes on each. Because apparently if you write notes on something you learnt at stages after, the retention rate is much much higher. 3 months ago

I’ve heard of thankful villages in the past but only today have I heard of doubly thankful villages.

A thankful village is one where all the men (and women) who left to serve in World War I returned home. Because of this they have no war memorial to 1st world war casualties!
I discovered this a couple of years ago because a village near me, Stoke Hammond is a thankful village.

This is quite amazing as of the 16,000 villages in England and Wales only 41 are called ‘A Thankful Village’.

Today I learnt about doubly thankful villages (where they lost no-one in either of the 1st or 2nd world wars) thanks to this article on the BBC3 months ago
