Blogging

Sorry to drop the ball with blogging recently. I'm working more--24 hours client contact per week--what I consider full-time and a bit more than I prefer, but I'm trying to save for my half-year off in 2011 when we're at the Palace Court BYU London Centre from July-December. And gardening, and cat issues, and lots of family stuff. I have some photos--I'll get to them soon.

UK 05 Pahty

So we ended up with a small party between the Saturday 2nd and priesthood sessions. It was great to see Corey and her husband, Rachel, Emily and Jude, and Anna. We thought there would be more, but I know Conference weekend is busy for everybody.

Friends in London

We stayed with our friends Helen and Gary and their daughter Briony, as we usually do. We met at the Hyde Park ward many years ago. We slept for 13 hours last night, which is the best way to get over jet lag. We are horrible guests and not entertaining at all. We've often stayed with them at the end of our term abroad as well, when we're absolutely tired and frazzled. I don't know why they put up with us (or I should say 'put us up' except I don't know how that translates into British English, or Australian). But we are very grateful to them.Now, when John gets back from the rental place, we'll be off for Edinburgh.

More UK stuff...

...on the other blog, if you're interested. I'm up to Stratford now.

Posting on the UK

I did a presentation for Mom's "Variette" Club on our trips to England and Scotland. I spent a lot of time organizing photos and getting it ready, and so I'm posting photos and journal entries to the UK blog, if you're interested. Only seven more weeks until we're off again.
