Freezing

Posted on November 30, 2010 | 1 comment

I think it’s safe to say that Kevin and I may freeze here.  It snowed today in London.  It was slushy, messy and cold.  Burrrr.  We are not cut out for this weather after living in California.  This is winter.  It has arrived.  A bit too early. When’s the first day of spring again?

Happy Thanksgiving

Posted on November 25, 2010 | 4 comments

Due to the loss of internet service since we moved into our new apartment, I have not been able to blog.  I thought it was only fitting to start again on Thanksgiving—even though it is not a holiday in the UK.  I managed to get a mobile broadband device (which is not very good as I have to sit next to the cold window to get the best connection) that will hold-me-over until our service gets set-up at home, which will take four more weeks. Yes, that’s right.  F.O.U.R.  M.O.R.E.  W.E.E.K.S. (I will save this rant for another post, since I don’t want to complain on Thanksgiving.)

With all that said…I want to wish our families and friends a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I hope it’s delicious.  We miss you all.

Although there are a number of restaurants serving Thanksgiving, I think we are going to a BBQ joint.  Too funny.  Larry and Devin will be joining us as well.  They will be showing American football on TV, which will please the boys.  I will have to cook a turkey for Kevin (and Devin if he is still here) once I feel more comfortable with my new convection oven cooking in Celsius.  I would say that the conversions are the hardest part, but thank goodness there’s an app for that!

Bon Appétit!!!

Running

Posted on November 2, 2010 | 5 comments

Houses of Parliament, Big BenFor the past seven years, the Golden Gate Bridge was the picturesque backdrop for our runs along Crissy Field in San Francisco.  It’s hard to believe that was our running route.
Last weekend, we ran along the banks of the Thames–past the London Eye, Big Ben and Houses of Parliament.   Although there are far more people/tourists to dodge on this route, it was, nevertheless, a moment that made us pause…and snap a few pics. (Yes, I ran with the camera.) We can’t believe we are living here…

Fast Walkers

Posted on October 28, 2010 | 8 comments

Londoners are fast walkers.  I mean blazing fast walkers.  I thought I walked fast, but this city has proved this to be untrue.  Even women wearing high heels walk fast.  (I don’t know how they do it, as I would probably twist my ankle.)   It’s like Kevin and I are standing still at times.  We just laugh…and try not to get run over.
