You wanna put some shrimp on the barby?
John here.
The weather has turned decidedly English- it's a good thing we're going to Nice with Jim and Dan!
Friday Jamie and I rented The Dukes of Hazzard. I laughed my ass off. It's stupid, but fun.
On Saturday we watched Drew play softball on her company team. We met up with Myke just in time to catch the last game. Drew's softball league caps games at one hour which makes sense for tournaments; however, the resulting rules dealing with the last inning are also decidedly English. All I know is that they were winning until the Ump called the game, which means they lost because the other team got 2 automatic runs. I think Cricket is simpler by comparison. We also had the fun of taking a local overland train for the first time - the tournament was by the Barnes Bridge station for those of you keeping track.
We had drinks at a pub along the Thames and played outdoor Jenga. Outdoor Jenga is Jenga made out of larger blocks and played by drunk people. Very entertaining. Also entertaining was the Thames tidal flooding trapping us at the pub (OH NO, THE HORROR) for an extra hour. The water came right up near the door of the pub and some cars needed to be moved to higher ground to avoid being swamped. There were signs warning of this event, but we didn't connect flooding with the tide. Live and learn. I dipped my finger in the Thames. It did not burn off, so one up on the Schuylkill.
Today we found a good Mexican place in Clapham! We also learned that my Bob's Big Boy Piggy Bank purchased at the original Bob's Big Boy in Burbank California holds approximately 35 pounds worth of small denomination coins.
Off to sleep - you'll next hear from us after the French Riviera- I'll let you know if I end up breaking Le Chiffre's bank at the Baccarat table! If you don't get it, it's ok - Google Le Chiffre.
