Father's Day

This is inspired by an ancient (over a year old! archaic in blog terms!) post of Russell's:

"Things that are better than they used to be - part the first"

Read it here.

Things are better in England than when I first got here:

the toilet paper in pubs
shops open on Sunday
manicure and pedicure bars
decent food in cheap restaurants
dry cleaning!!!
really good wine in pubs
way more tv channels
tables outside in nice weather
no smoking on the tube
no ink streaks from reading the paper
zillions of wonderful shoe shops
lots of fresh food shops
M&S ready meals
Oyster card

My dad once asked me; "what did I ever do to make you move so far away?".

My instantaneous response; "you gave me the self confidence to think I could crack living in London".

It's still wonderful here dad.

And I so miss you.
