Some thingies I noticed...

• New Yorkers are excellent at sidewalk navigation, and pretty good at apologizing if they bump into you.
  
• Swedes are mostly okay at sidewalk navigation, and lousy at apologizing if they bump into you.
  
• Brits are lousy at sidewalk navigation, but excellent at apologizing if they bump into you.
  
• My theory on the sidewalk navigation of the Brits contains hypotheses based on the fact that they drive on the wrong side of the road. :)
  
• No matter how many outlets in a house or apartment you may have, there are never enough.
  
• Buying 5 plug strips and 5 adapters at Waitrose in Canary Wharf will get you looked at like you've just grown a third head.
  
• Kem has now learned how to get down out of the attic by himself. It involves a leap of faith onto the bed in the room below.
  
• The weather is just stunningly beautiful today, and too hot for my current jacket. Will have to remedy this. (With use of a new jacket, as opposed to new weather.)
