A family of Androids moved into our house a couple of weeks ago. The boys have been studying their behaviour and cataloguing their every move. The results are quite fascinating:
Rather surprisingly, Androids prefer the iPhone:
They are scared of piranhas:
Use a leash when taking their AT-ATs for a walk:
Prefer Xbox 360 to the Wii but still [...]

It’s very cool that Tara’s Gallery has the theme of Celebration today.
Today is our very good friend M’s birthday. He’s 10!!!!
M’s family stayed with us in July and we helped celebrate his big sister becoming a teenager.
To celebrate, we rented a Duffy for a couple of hours and left my boys and M behind. Boys [...]

I think you could spend your whole life exploring California and never quite see it all. I have many favourite areas, the Sierras, Sequoia National Park, Joshua Tree but Big Sur has captured my heart the most. As a vast generalisation, for those of you who don’t know California very well, it’s north along the [...]

Outside my front door, well two blocks from our house, is this:
No, I can’t quite believe it either.
I pinch myself most days in disbelief that we can be quite so lucky. At the moment, the peninsula is covered in Spring Break tourists, college students determined to enjoy their holidays. In a couple of weeks time, [...]

For the first few years of his life we headed into Clarks, England’s main children’s shoe shop, to make sure the computer measured his feet correctly. Then the best black leather shoes were chosen to fit his feet perfectly so he would [...]

I’m flying home for a few days tomorrow. I don’t really need to go home. I’m not missing the weather, the culture, the food or anything else, not yet. But I do miss my friends. I miss my girlfriends who have supported me in the move to the US, who have shown that wherever I [...]

I’ve changed. I know I have. Since moving to California, I hang out with celebrities in LA and neglect my friends. Well, that’s what I did on Friday night anyway. A group of bloggers were very kindly invited to the set of Accidentally on Purpose, a new sitcom from CBS which airs on Monday nights. [...]

You’d think after 20 years of visiting or living in America there’d be no more misunderstandings. You’ve worked them all out. Faucet = tap, elevator = lift and so on. But every now and then something catches me out and a small cultural misunderstanding takes place.
This time it was Coffee Cake.
I love coffee, particularly lattes [...]
