A day in the life
We’re not in Kansas any more
We’re not in Maidenhead either. We’re in Newport Wales.
That’s where Taylor and David live. David is attending a Master’s course in nuclear engineering in Bristol. David and Taylor can each get at what they need from here. Judy and I are here because they are.
Asian cuisine at Wagamama in town.
David got home later from a presentation at school.
On the train.
It’s a pretty cool ride. Not as reliable as usual because there are rolling train worker strikes, but they cycle where and when they are, so we’ve been able to shuffle schedules to accommodate so far without missing anything critical.
Now there are more of us
Judy and I have moved on from our flat in Vauxhall and are out in Maidenhead with Becky and Brian.
Today, we rode the train back in to London to meet Christie and Andy, Kyle, Kylie, Cameron, and KB. We all had dinner together at the Victoria Pub while we tried to keep the new arrivals awake as long as we could to help them adjust to Greenwich Mean Time. When we first got there, the nice people at the small table next to us moved over so we would have enough room, then chatted with us in British throughout our evening there. I hope they thought our American accents as charming as we thought their British. Thanks to them for the photo of all of us together.
We’re gathering for a celebration of Taylor Achieving a Master’s Degree from the University of Reading later in the week.

It’s a sunny day in London
Right over there in the view from our flat. See that building in the distance, gleaming. That’s it.
A walk in the park produced pigeons. And parakeets! Rose-ringed Parakeets.
Becky taking a direct hit.
Some other people having great success attracting parakeets.
Brian and me. A pigeon that really liked my shoulder. Brian got a parakeet on his head.
