Hello "Pond" fans! I'm here! And now finally so is my computer! It was being held hostage by HMRS also know as Her Majesties Revenue and Customs Service! They were holding it in lieu of my paying a 230 Pound VAT tax on it! Yep, that roughly translates into $460! Welcome to England! Apparently the Queen is a poor old thing and needs the help...couldn't she just hit up Paul McCartney for a few bucks? I mean he's loaded! Well after much explaining that this is my personal two year old used computer that I need for work I have been sent a four page form that I have to fill out and send in with all appropriate labels and in a months time I may get my money back. Ah Monarchies... aren't they a quaint idea?
Anyhow I just wanted to post a quick update and let you know that now that I have my computer I will be posting pics and video! My mission after sculling tomorrow morning is to get some photos and post them!
Oooh and fellow Windhamite Alex Jenko has a stopover in London Wednesday so I will be meeting him at the airport. It will be nice to see a fellow Yank... there are a few of us here and I have to say... the American accent has never sounded so good! ;-)
OK well more to come tomorrow...pictures too but now its time for bed....yikes 12:20 am London time! I have to be up at 6 for the morning sculling session!
Be back soon!
Julie :-)
PS Jedi Master,
I've found my coffee shop couch! No loose springs though....I'll post a picture for you real soon... hope you are well.
