Mirror Story

My alarm went off in the morning
I threw on some clothes for the day
Went and woke up my kids
Then went downstairs to get a cup of coffee
(my plan was to then go back upstairs with coffee in hand and fix myself properly for the day)

I arrive in the kitchen to get said coffee and greeted my host
She looked at me, and sudden horror crossed her face and said
"oh no, I am SO Sorry! We were going to put a mirror up in your bathroom before you came but we forgot!!!"

Hmmm...Lesson to be learned, I should not just drag myself out of bed and make an appearance before first doing something with myself. Or stay in my pj's so that people know I have not yet gotten ready for my day.

(That afternoon a mirror was put up in the bathroom)

UK

Being in the UK:

• I can usually understand what is being said, but when in doubt, smile and nod.
• Pull the string by the shower to turn on the hot water
• Everything is smaller
• Walk to where you need to go
• Starbucks…what Starbucks?
• Pudding (dessert) after every meal, yummy
• Small roads…am not sure how people do not crash into each other
• Love the big old churches
• Stone houses, so nice
• Pastures, hills, sheep, cows
• Seaside a lot of the places we go
• Hang the clothes to dry
• I love being back here! It is just grand!
