We received the air shipment Wed.--the first installment of our "stuff." It's really great to have spatulas, more than one skillet & pot, sharp knives, and actual microwavable plates. The plastic silverware and plates were getting old fast. Trying to cut open a bagel with a plastic knife is no picnic, but surprisingly, cutting mushrooms was a sinch.
We even have an ironing board! That's a good thing since Pat was going to have to either break down and iron with a towel since I haven't quite figured out how to get the wrinkles out of trousers (aka pants) with this new high-efficiency washing system... it's pretty bad, more to come on that in a later installment.
Pat now has his computer and we have the printer. We still don't have real internet access which is frustrating and a long story. Apparently, no one is in a hurry to get our money. You have to sign up for a year contract minimum so we'll be eating at least 2 months worth of internet payments at this rate. I guess that's why they're not worried about it. It's a joke.
Anyway, the sun came out the day after we got our stuff and today is also beautiful--not a cloud in the sky. Highly unusual. We'll see how the weather holds out for the weekend. Monday is a bank holiday so businesses all have the day off.

Loved the coastal pictures! Beautiful even when cloudy. I also noticed the people in the pictures in JACKETS. Just so you know, it's been over 100 degrees here most days in the past week. Miserable. I think it's about to finally cool off this next week. We check the Wii sometimes to see what it's like in England! :)
Glad to hear you've gotten some of your stuff too!
