A positive outlook...
... year... Felling totally renewed, I got back to the house to hear the sad news that PG's father passed away last night. I feel rather bad for my frustration earlier now, as they obviously had far more important things on their minds. I guess the next few days will be a bit up in the air. The good news is that there is now a real possibility that we might actually get to Thailand on the 20th as planned. Fingers crossed! I had forgotten just how much I was enjoying writing a ...

... check out big ben where we ran into a marathon happening. We then walked over the bridge and wandered along southbank past the London eye and such until it started raining so we headed back to the tube.
