Brrrrrrrr!!
July 25th, 2005Ok, now this cold stretch is getting ridiculous. I was shivering in a long-sleeved tee and bermudas so I put on a mohair sweater and a jacket. In July. Actually, July ends this week, so it’s practically August. It should be the height of summer right now.
I’m making myself a hot mug of tea now.

Have I mentioned how I really like chatting, especially with Americans? In part this is because I enjoy chatting with congenial strangers, and Americans are often nothing but congenial. Lovely. In fact, I probably just love chatting in general, a trait I must have inherited from my mother (certainly I wouldn’t claim to have inherited a chatty streak from my father).
I just spent a very pleasant quarter of an hour and perhaps more chatting on the American Express customer service line. (Yes, yes, I’m sad. Deal with it.) A nice chap named Luke from Omaha, Nebraska. Luke, if you read this (and the chances of that I guess are essentially nil, except that he has all my personal details), drop me a line and maybe we’ll be friends
