Pardon the Interruption

So, we didn't have any internet access for a few days because we located a house and scrambled as quick as our little legs would carry us to get into it. Not that staying with Endorra and Maurice wasn't great, but it had been more than 3 days and the fish were starting to smell.

But we're here now, in sunny Palo Alto. Weather report yesterday (and I quote): "Autumn's not due until the end of the week, but we may be seeing some rain before then!" As opposed to the rush for any patch of land in London when the sun was shining, as each spot of grass became Pale Hill as the fishbelly complexion of a nation is brought out for a tanning.

Ah, but here in California everyone is a distinct shade of something or another. There's a odd sense of health here. At first I was thrown by the runners and cyclists and the 15 brands of Oreos. But my sense of bewonderment reached new heights when I saw Diet Coke Extra - it's Diet Coke with vitamins.

Seriously.

Ok, that's it for tonight. We'll be back soon.
