about entries since I've gotten here. In part, my family here in the UK is split across two homes. Of course, the one I'm not staying in is the one that has DSL. The other part is that both homes are bloody cold--the English are hardy people and my family have turned off their heat now that it is May. So in spite of being inured to the weather in the Pacific Northwest, I can barely feel my fingers as I type this (I'm wearing my USAF flight jacket so at least part of me is warm).
I feel guilty but I have some excuse. In the mean time I have been huddled on the couch, watching SkyTV satellite and enjoying the football coverage. We are coming to the end of the season and their a few crucial games left. Tonight is the 2nd of the Champions League semi-final matches and it is Chelsea v. Monaco. Chelsea are down 3-1 going into tonight's match and need to win 2-0 to go through to the final on the away goals rule (goals scored playing away from home are worth more in tiebreaks than those scored at home). It should be a very exciting match.
Coffee here sucks. Have tried three or four different coffee places (including a Starbucks on the Strand) and none have yet been able to provide me with a non-bitter espresso. But the tea is excellent.
I'll be taking three-day, two-night visit to Paris in the next couple of weeks to see friends. I'll have to do all my espresso swilling then..
