A brief blog to just to keep you all up-to-date.
Today involved three things.
Firstly, cleaning and tidying the house. Actually it wasn’t bad at all. Tom and I had kept it in good order so after an hour or so we’d (the Royal we) got things looking ship shape and Bristol fashion.
I was reminded of this great 1990s TV ad though:

(American friends please go and look at this. Very funny.)
Having looked around with a sense of satisfaction, the second thing. Sitting down with a cuppa, reading and listening to the test match (cricket – England v Australia) via the internet. This amazes me. To listen to British radio in the USA via the internet is wondrous. (The problem is it messes with your time schedules.) But a taste of home.
Thirdly. Collecting Anne from Charlotte airport.
Tom and I have had a great time and we’ve got on really well. But we were both really pleased to see Anne after a month. She’d had a good journey – apart from the staff on Delta being inefficient (they were still serving drinks as the pilot told them to go back to their seats for final approach.) And although airline food is never good, Delta seems to pride itself in poor meals. (My experience coming over too.) That aside she arrived safe and sound, on time and with luggage.
As traffic on the I77 (motorway / freeway) was bad, we came off and drove up the 115 a back road in effect which was much more pleasant.
