So… We’ve been talking about what to say in this entry all day. Well, not all day, but you know what I mean. We have completely enjoyed trying to come up with a title that is just right, and as I am writing this, we haven’t settled on one yet. I like to think that […]

Keith woke up this morning and said he needed fish and chips. It wasn’t exactly early, because of President’s day no alarms had been set, but it didn’t sound like breakfast to me. We waited until noon and off he went to Treorci (the Welsh spelling) Fish Bar. He came back smiling from ear to
I had a great night’s sleep on Friday night, so I only needed 4 hours last night (I guess). I woke up stupid early because obviously there were many important things to worry about. In no particular order: should Keith wear his good black shoes to wait in the rain for our ride or should

The weather report for our town was to expect 100mph winds (yes, they use miles here. We got miles from them) (They do use liters and grams, though, so I don’t know about that). Storm Eunice was coming our way. (No tropical in front of that, because no tropical. It sounds so…short.) (And Eunice sounds
Keith here again. I wasn’t offered any British candy this time. That’s probably because I ate it all last time. (But I just found the last package of digestives, so I will be okay.) Last night was another rehearsal. We arrived pretty early as we got a lift with Gwyn and he needed to be
It was Keith’s first full day of work. He was up and at it by 7am, getting ready for an 8am meeting with his team in China. In Minnesota, he works at 9pm to meet with them first thing in their morning. Here, 8am is their 4pm, so it was upside down for everyone. I

Keith asked if I thought he should upgrade his jeans and t-shirt before rehearsal and I said I thought so. You only get one chance to make a first impression and why not just go up a notch. When I was packing, I specially asked him he wanted to wear his typical Disney aloha-style shirts

The bistro/hotel is on the corner and Keith, in his spiffy Gorton’s fisherman yellow raincoat, is in front of our new home. Neil and one son, T, (I really respect people’s privacy and think initials are enough for the boys. T was sent home from school with a headache, covid tested, and joined our move-in

Fended? Mmm. Doesn’t sound like a word. Anyway, we did a brilliant job of sleeping and may actually be acclimating quickly to UTC. Yay. We decided to refuse Neil’s help and get on with helping ourselves. We are having dinner with Philip, the band’s conductor, tonight and since actual dinner will happen, I suggested candy
