As i watched the opening to that classic film 'You've got Mail' and heard the story of the butterfly in the subway i felt that i should share a similar experience. Whilst in London a ladybird/ladybug got on the tube with me. It proceded to examine my nice American bag (bought in my last week and very useful) and then it flew throughout the carriage. Unfortunately i did not see it fly off...instead it flew very near to the air conditioning...well that is my story.

I also feel the need to clarify an issue i discussed many a time with certain American citizens. The words 'toodle-pip' are used in the everyday sense...twice this week i have heard this delightful phrase! It makes me smile and think England is qwerky.

I have now reached the stage where i really need some sunny weather...there is a distinct lack of it here and it not fun to see rain each day! It doesn't help that i have decided i really miss America and all the people i knew well at the exact same time...i feel a trip coming on...or being planned at the very least!
