Two very early mornings getting up to travel - the jet lag may have passed but I think I have generalized stupidity disorder (I just hope they don't name the disease after me!). The weather is (surprise) cold damp and rainy, rumour has it that the sun appeared briefly somewhere in Nottingham but sadly not many folk were outside at the time.

Yesterday I was down in Pangborne and had a super supper at the local Chinese, and had to walk about 4 miles at an olympic pace.
On the Anglo-american front (note use of capitalization), described the car as quite pokey. Kevin was quite offended since he had spent the extra dollars to get a top of the line, fuel injected speedster and thought I meant pokey (us) not pokey (UK). Apparently our American bretheren use the word to describe something that is big, slow or has relationships with small clay figures (Gumby)! You can purchase models of the clay figure on eBay (eBUYGumby).

Send medicine!

God help us all
