I’ve been here for a week! This morning Holly made baby pancakes (which she called something much nicer that I can’t remember) and we ate them on the back porch, and the rest of the house failed to vote me out. I’m glad. This is a pretty great house!<\/p>\n
I’ve been to Battersea Park repeatedly, and to the Science and Natural History Museums<\/a>, and on a Tube Walk<\/a> (pictures<\/a>), and today I tried to go to a scheduled pickup Frisbee game at Hyde Park<\/a> but it turned out not to exist. But still! I navigated to Hyde Park and back all by myself! I also managed to get to Victoria Station and back, twice, to pick up and drop off Caitlan when she visited.<\/p>\n Keen-eyed readers of this blog will note that normally I don’t go outside that much in a month, and will probably guess further that I am deliberately overcompensating to fight culture shock \/ homesickness \/ loneliness et cetera. Good guess, keen readers. But it’s working! And given my only other experience outside the country<\/a>, I think overcompensation is entirely in order.<\/p>\n London is awfully big, but awfully neat too.<\/p>\n Update 03.07.2007 1243<\/b> hrs: Pikelets!
