288/365


An interesting thing happens on a Saturday of a bank holiday weekend: all the Brits break out their caravans that they have miraculously been storing somewhere (most garages are barely large enough for my Polo!) and head for the coast. We headed there with them, sans caravan, and went to Cornwall for the weekend. What a lovely way to start a trip... (ugh)


But, look at the beach in St Ives!

1/365: So It Begins

... and yes, I failed today, my first day to take a picture. But I think I have a few good reasons: I left Denver last night at 8:45pm and arrived at Heathrow around noon. The flight was terrible - I ended up in a window seat bumping elbows with my fellow passengers and hardly slept at all. (One word of advice: Don't ever bother watching the movie 'Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past". Its crap even as far as predictable romantic comedies go.)
I made it to my interview at the Make-A-Wish Foundation right on time and think everything went well, except they do require you to drive as part of the position and I am well aware that not knowing the communities where I would be working will be a disadvantage. They said they expect to make their decision on Monday, so now we wait...

I thought I'd take a nice nap when I got back from the interview, but I couldnt sleep, so I unpacked 2 of 3 suitcases and sent a telepathic message back home to my walk-in closet telling her that I missed her.

We went to Windsor (no, the Queen wasnt home) for a quick dinner at good ol' Nandos (Its a chicken place, but they have wonderful veggie options there!).

What I learned today: There is South African beer.
