The reunion was sweet, although the three of us are rather tired. I worked today, while both Henry and Tamasin spent some time sleeping.

We even found ourselves talking about \u201crestrooms\u201d and \u201cstrollers\u201d and \u201cpacifiers\u201d\u2014words for which most of my English friends would need an interpreter. Sadly I gained about 3 kg. during the last two weeks, so I\u2019m afraid I was right about the poor diet I would likely be subjecting myself to. We wanted quick food, so that meant fast food, and on a few occasions, \u201ceat as much as you like\u201d deals. So all that walking didn\u2019t do any good\u2014thanks, I guess, to all those hot dogs and \u201cfreedom fries\u201d! I missed our own English chips\u2014which have nothing to do with either what Americans call \u201cchips\u201d OR what they call \u201cfries.\u201d Our chips are apparently like American steak fries or pub fries, and oddly, that was one of the first foods I craved on my return home! Far superior in taste, but probably equally as fattening. It\u2019s now time to revise my food intake habits, I suspect!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll share a couple more videos, and maybe a few more photos and reflections, but for now I\u2019m about to go to bed in an effort to stave off the jet lag that is likely to hit me like a brick when tomorrow morning I have to start work at what will feel like 4 a.m. to my body!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re home again!
