Sun!

So the sun finally made an appearance! I thought it would never come. I was actually looking into the train ticket price to Brighton. Considering the Pacific Northwest is getting abnormal hot weather, I figure everyone else must be getting better weather than us. Got the British money today? Why is it that when you check the exchange rate online, it's one thing and when you get to the place, it's another? Well, it's still better than the last two years.

I actually reached 47 MPG with the Prius! And mostly highway! It's supposed to get better MPG in city driving. My goal: 50 MPG.

Getting excited to go to London. We will be staying round the block from the British Museum. There is a store that sells used magazines. My dream is to find a secret stash of early 80's Smash Hits. I might faint if I find them...I am going to miss Millie a lot. I really wish she could come. But I know she warms up to grammy and gramps real fast...too fast? She's shameless...

I am thinking of taking the fisheye Lomo, the Diana, the digital and the Canon film cameras. I will pack for wearing things more than once so I can fit it all. And I got lots of film and a mini flexi tri-pod from Mandy! Yay!

Great quote from across the street just moments ago: "Sigh! I'm exhausted from doing nothing!" That's my white trash mama Sweeney! Crack open a cheap beer and smoke one for me! And why work when you have three mouths to feed when you can sit on your porch and watch TV and burp all day! Hey, at least one out of the three should end up being their ports meal ticket, right? Jeez...
