A lovely day, today --- we went down to the sea front late this morning, so that that children could see the sea (far too cold to even put a toe in the water...) and took photographs of butchers shop windows, bakeries, etc --- all the things we don't see in the US to show to Boo and Skibo's classes next year (along with LOML's shot from yesterday --- a lone milkman-delivered milk bottle sitting on the step next door).
We had fun, but it was damp and chilly --- miserable weather: all the better for making soup with. With having had Christmas dinner of turkey yesterday, we were set for turkey soup today: and it was good. Between the nine of us, we polished off almost all of the soup I made: essentially, in two days we demolished an entire turkey! (there's still a bit left for sandwiches, but mostly it's gone).
Tonight has been incredibly frustrating, internet-wise: our hotel is connected with some shady group (probably very big and powerful, so I won't name them) who don't like giving us consistent access to the interwebtubes. And so I've taken to downloading blogs, reading them at my leisure, and waiting for yet another hour to get access to the net to post, read email, etc.
Still, internet notwithstanding, quite a nice day. In the English sense of quite.
Yours, contemplating Canterbury tomorrow,
N.
