Random Ramblings

First, you know you're not in the US when you see workers at the local Tesco (a British version of a super-Walmart) whizzing about on rollerblades. We also saw workers at the airport using them. Imagine the reduction in American obesity if people could wear rollerblades to work! :-)

Secondly, tuna thieves must abound here. I was amazed the last time I purchased tuna at the Tesco to find the can with its cardboard wrapper (none of those nifty foil packets here) encased in a very large hard plastic box that was only opened at the cashier's desk. Then, today I got out a can of tuna that I had purchased at a different store. When I removed this can's little cardboard wrapper - there was a magnetic anti-theft strip on the lid of the can. I was a little concerned to think that if it had not been deactivated, I might end up with blue dye or something in my tuna!

Lastly, there should be a law against scheduling flights prior to 8AM. Our dear friends left today on a 7:15AM flight, and I have to say that getting up at 4 in order to make it to the airport on time is no picnic!!

That's all for now, folks - it's naptime!
