B Lush. MMmmmm, Yes, Please Do.
What a strange few days I have had! The things which have given me such a fit before have started to become more comical and I think I feel a bit braver. Something has come over me that feels similar to armor, but with a sense of humor booster built in. They must have flagged…

Of Bridges Burned
While Drew was busy today, I joined Emily and Kerry for a walking tour of the area near St. Paul’s Cathedral, on the south side of the City of London. Apparently Emily has become friends with some credentialed London tour guides, Keith and Gordon, whom I had the pleasure of meeting. It is amazing the…

A View From the Bridge
I met Drew at his office and he grabbed a quick slice of pizza as we headed to the Duke of York’s Theatre. It seemed quite the appropriate thing to do on our way to a play set in New York. The theatre itself was the first proper English looking theatre I had yet been…

Is it That Late Already?
Sadly, I feel that there is very little news to report. I have rearranged my CV so many times, and written so many covering letters, I am quite tired of myself. I have lost count of the number of jobs about which I have contacted recruiters–or the numbers of recruiters I have contacted to be…

Where There’s a Will, There Something Good To Watch
This evening in Leicester Square the critically acclaimed 7 pounds premiered at the Empire Cinema. Crowds were already camped out when Drew passed through to go to the office today. Drew attempted on his way home this evening to get a picture of Will Smith on the red carpet, but the lighting was poor. Lucky…

Hit Me!
Hit Me! The Life and Rhymes of Ian Dury is a play wonderfully written by Jeff Merrifield, and well carried by Jud Charlton (playing Ian Dury) and Josh Darcy (playing Fred Rowe). There isn’t much of a storyline or a plot, but you don’t really notice until it’s over. The play is more of a…

All You Need is Love and Chocolate Chip Cookies
While we were in Nashville for the Christmas holidays I took a trip Whole Foods for vegan chocolate chips. I was disappointed that the shelf had far fewer bags on it than I had intended to buy, but we will manage to ration them until May–or until someone visits. The point of the story is…

Reconsider Everything
While walking through Green Park today on our way to take photos of Buckingham Palace, I heard a terrible commotion in the distance. It sounded like someone giving a heated speech to a noisy and responsive crowd–like you see in old history films. A detour down Piccadilly towards Piccadilly Arcade led us to the source…

Leaving Nashvegas
The collection of mail on our doorstep is a testament to the great length of time we were afforded with family and friends. We didn’t come close to seeing everyone on the list, but we wore ourselves out trying.  Since our last post we saw two more beautiful (and growing) children and their parents and…

…and That’s Why They Call it a Clock/Radio-
-because it has both. I noticed a few weeks back that my hair was suddenly a different color. It had a darker, almost ashy sheen. I wasn’t the only one that noticed, either. Everyone that noticed seemed to think it was a nice change. Though I did wonder what had brought about a sudden change…

gypsy’s warning
A quiet word to an employee or aquaintance, suggesting that they’d best proceed with caution in respect of their current conduct or attitude, or they may be in for an unpleasant surprise. The details of which aren’t actually set out by the giver of the warning, who may or may not have control over their…
