Sun, Aug 24th


With us enjoying a long weekend, the two of us decided that we would do little or nothing for a change. Dawn did a couple of loads of laundry, and I made some hummus, some crab cakes for lunch, and coconut chicken for dinner. But the rest of the day was spent taking it easy. Dawn had her Sunday video call with Brady while I watched the European Formula 1 Grand Prix.

We then enjoyed watching the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics with Tiny. I can't help but admit and acknowledge that once again I felt a little sentimental to be British. Again I told Dawn how pleased I am to be home, and how my 7 years in America have shown me just how privileged I am to have been born and bred here. We may not be able to complete on the same level as America, China or even Russia. However, Brits the world over should be thankful for what we have.
