Small pleasures........Jo

Another night with internet in my room! YAAAY. I'm giddy with the sheer pleasure of it. No more sitting out in the cold trying to connect in front of the library. It's just the little things in life that make things sweet.

And the big thing is that I get to go to Florence after all!!!! So much drama involved just to get there but I'm over it now. I'm free to go! To feel some warmth will be good. It's grey and rainy, I think a typical English day. What are your days like, Thom? Hot, muggy? Are you sweltering as they say here? I got your message that you worked a 12 hour day. Geez. That's a lot.

Here is a fabulous place I discovered, thanks to my new friend, Chantelle. The Orchard, a place near Cambridge where people like Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Bertrand Russell, and Rupert Brooke used to have afternoon tea underneath the apple trees. I experienced the same kind of laziness and enjoyed my English tea and cheese scone with everyone else. Way cool place. If you want to know more, here's the link: www.orchard-grantchester.com

So missing Thom tonight.
