An ordinary day in the life

In some respects, life has slowed down from the hectic feel when we first arrived.  With travel and other work commitments, kids sick with colds and the weather quite cool, we generally haven’t been out as much.  Still, you have to make the most of the opportunities — today was

It's beginning to feel a lot like...

Back from Tampa

Have arrived back from Tampa to London.  It was a real shock to the system — 28C to 5C!  Actually the thing I’ve noticed most is how crowded London is.  Tampa is very open with large 4 lane streets everywhere, with no-one walking on the streets and no public transport.

Working in Tampa

I’m currently in Tampa for work at the moment and while I miss Karina and the kids, it’s a really nice change from the weather in London.  Today it was freezing in London, ice in the puddles and so forth while in Tampa it’s 28C.  Perfect weather.

It's beginning to look a lot like ...
