The View from Atherton Court, Part IX

  By Melanie Atherton Allen May 31, 2020 May 31, 2020 Atherton Court, Quarantine

Could this be the last of the lockdown posts? Will I stop these posts when Pennsylvania moves to the yellow phase of Operation Don’t Die Of Coronavirus? Reader, I do not know. I cannot see the future. Also, I am bad at planning. Anyway, this post definitely exists. That is… Continue reading

The View from Atherton Court, Part VIII

  By Melanie Atherton Allen May 24, 2020 May 24, 2020 Atherton Court, Quarantine

Why This Is A Short Post, In About 550 Words Hello! This is part eight of my uncharacteristically chatty quarantine series, The View from Atherton Court. And today’s post is going to be comparatively short, for a couple of reasons. One reason is that I generally talk about movies I’ve… Continue reading

Hello, and welcome to The View from Atherton Court, my weekly lockdown letter to anyone who happens to feel like reading it. Atherton Court is what we call our home, because we like to be grand. It is more of a small suburban dwelling in a fairly tightly-packed suburban neighborhood… Continue reading

The View from Atherton Court, Part V

  By Melanie Atherton Allen May 3, 2020 May 3, 2020 Atherton Court, Quarantine

Mostly Introduction, But Also Mushroom Ketchup & Ginger Snaps (The Movie) Well, April is over, but the quarantine thing is still quarantining away at Atherton Court (“our pretentious name for our unpretentious suburban dwelling” –Dept. of Re-Used Gags), and we are still more or less on our movie-a-day schedule. I… Continue reading

Swinburne, Cheese Fritters, and Movies Hello, and welcome to another exciting installment of The View From Atherton Court!

The View From Atherton Court, Part III

  By Melanie Atherton Allen April 19, 2020 April 19, 2020 Atherton Court, Quarantine

Cake; Meat Pie; Also, Movies!   Cake! So, week five (?) of this whole quarantine thing went pretty well. Alec’s birthday happened! He made his own cake (because I don’t really bake), but let me assure you I am helping him eat it. I am there for him, in that… Continue reading

The View from Atherton Court, Part II

  By Melanie Atherton Allen April 12, 2020 April 12, 2020 Atherton Court, Quarantine

More Movies; Improved Meat Pies I’ve been in quarantine now for around 4 weeks, I think. And you know what? It’s going well, on the whole. Not only am I not sick (which is something to be celebrated right there), but I am finding plenty to do to keep myself… Continue reading

Meat Pie and Movies It is Sunday (I think), and thus time for my post. This sort of post is a departure for me, being more blog-like than I generally go in for. Still! I am feeling chatty. I will talk about me and my week in quarantine. Actually, I’ve… Continue reading

    You could listen to me read a piece of spam mail aloud (O, My Viagra, My New-Found-Land!)

    You could play a Twine game (The Perils of Sir Reginald, Bart.)

    You could look at pictures of me in costumes, or even read the related Edwardian-era mystery novella (Alas!)

    You could read Stranded!, a Strand-Magazine-Based form of Illustrated Entertainment (start here with a sort of explanation: Stranded!)

    ...or you could just sort of explore... there is a lot of material here, and (I think) much of it is Very, Very Good.
