Back to London

We're on the train back to London.  A great time to start the blog for the day.  The trains are really fast, clean, friendly and efficient.  The challenge is that their stops for passenger drop off and pick up are very quick and if you are not alert you can easily miss it!  That puts a bit of stress in the venture in the beginning.  But once on, it is a great way to see the countryside over a 4 hour period.  I can already feel the warming temperature an hour out of Edinburgh and I think London, in the south, is at least 10 degrees warmer at all times.  Will be nice not to have to layer as much clothing.

peering into my computer!

As always, plenty of time to catch up on reading as well.  After papers, I will hopefully finish the book I brought with me , Almost French by Sarah Turnbull, an Australian married for over 20 years to a Frenchman.  Since I have a very good friend (an American) married for over 40 years to a Frenchman, I plan to pass it along to her.  I think she will relate to it pretty easily.

I think this is a good post to share a wonderful "missive" from Karla Hill, Senior Program Manager at Client Earth.  Karla is from New Zealand, and so was amused with the "guide" to communications in this country!
