Summertime Photos from Founex, Switzerland

hotos from a staycation!

Not exactly, as these were taken over the course of the summer, and we did travel to other places. But many weekends it's nice to stay home and explore our surroundings a little more.

I've posted photos of Founex and the neighbouring towns before, and collated all the Switzerland photos during this year's
A to Z, but for the sake of completeness, here they are again:

Founex #1

And then two more posts from after the A to Z cut off:

February in the valley

Here is this summer's collection:

How did these get mixed up here?

It's London, from the plane!

I tried to zoom in on the Isle of Dogs and the Houses of Parliament

There's only one week left in the current round of ROW80!

Let's see if I can do a quick recap without recopying my text of my goals list from last week:

Writing:
The Charm of Time: reread again; clear up the Scots and Swiss; address character arcs; edit the climax; send to betas!
Druid's Moon: still need to send it to that small publisher
untitled murder mystery short story: enter the edits I scribbled on paper
"The Tattoo" short story: enter edits from betas
short story for Carina: submit edits (yes, I did them! it wasn't as bad as I feared!)

School: start readings; answer first essay question
Bagpipes at the opening address!

Knitting: finish knitting baby blanket and don't forget to take a photo before gift wrapping it!

[Speaking of having no time for anything -- and needing a Time Turner -- it's silly, but this is the sort of thing I miss seeing in real time on Twitter. If only they'd fix the functionality of the Twitter app on Android.]

Blogging:
1100 posts on this blog
201 on the knitting blog
10 years of blogging!

I'd still like to do something to commemorate this anniversary, but I'm not sure what. I've held contests before, and book giveaways, but I wonder... I might actually try hosting a bloghop, maybe. But it will have to wait, unfortunately, while I'm busy with school. I'll just start gathering info!
