Oh, THERE you are, unwelcome visitor. What’s it been, since August? Then February? At this rate I’ll only have to buy “supplies” twice a year. Guess my teammates joke about “manopause” due to the excessive heat n the office was better than he knew.

In my ongoing love affair with all things British, I sometimes come up against things that are less loveable, such as the crankypants insularity that is a hallmark of the English national personality. I do understand, really I do; references to our popular culture, fast-food cuisine and security-theater politics are everywhere in the UK where there’s a TV, a McDonalds, or an international airport. I chuckled at this story, which quotes several peevish readers complaining about the use of American idiom and slang in the Guardian, a left-leaning newspaper. For the record, “clatch” is the German word “klatsch,” we currently…

We weren’t able to get to the big family Thanksgiving dinner today because David wasn’t feeling all that well, and also yesterday I had some tummy problems, so instead of stressing out trying to get everything done, we decided to just take it easy for the day. Sorry to miss out on the great food, but that’s how it is. We at least had turkey for sandwiches and we’ll have a little something easy for dinner shortly. Here are some of the things I’m thankful for anyway: We have our health, for the most part (stitches out, no more Frankenmouth,…

Think this Whittard’s tea cozy (sorry, cosy) is a bit too big, but they didn’t have a smaller one. The mug is one of the few items I’ve managed to keep from my college years: it’s from Taylor & Ng in Portland and this side shows the cat making mouse tea.

I was trying to make dulce de leche in the microwave, but the recipe calls for half-power and our microwave’s keypad is busted, limiting us to just a few functions. Thought I could cope but the sweetened condensed milk boiled merrily away, leaving the lazy Susan platter full of milk solids. Yum! Not! Time for a new microwave; just doing my bit to goose the economy. Via: Flickr Title: Time For A New Microwave! Happy Thanksgiving Everbodee!

Back at hotel suffuring from Tourons' Syndrome: tired feet, sore back and jet lag. #fb #london # Toddled off to church this am. Got lost, arrived late, explained that like so many before me I took a wrong turning. #London # On way back, passed "Mr Beebe" (Simon Callow). We good-morninged each other, a few steps later the penny dropped. #London # Yesterday I could swear I saw Penelope Keith. If we see her in "The Rivals," I'd have proof. #London # Walked over to see Field of Remembrance at the Abbey. Watched veterans parade past, caught a glimpse of…
