Random UK Notes
.1. Have had three days filled with the most fascinating women; First it was conversations about dreams and realities with D, then a session of literature and mayhem with A, followed by dinner with three brilliant Palestinian women last evening, one that ended in hysterical generalizations, impassioned opinions, and interesting life perspectives. Finally, this day took me to lunch with I and political conversation (peppered with her occasional Alexandre Trudeau swoon). I love that I am surrounded by women of this calibre.
.2. Went for a jog last night and found myself wondering if Jack the Ripper was going to be coming after me due to the immeasurable amount of fog that seems to have swallowed Ottawa whole. Made for a quicker jog, so no real complaints.
.3. Had a lovely conversation with H in the UK this morning, missing her dearly and am having a really difficult time believing that it has been almost 11 months since I was visiting with her in London. She’s no longer writing for Cosmo UK, and is now the proud author of Elle UK articles. At the moment, she should be eating organic brownies and retoxifying with L (I hope). Being the fabulous woman that she is, our very own H made the top 10 Guardian UK hot singles chart (yay, singleton!).
.4. Conversation with H confirmed my suspicion that British women are a breed unto themselves and ones to be studied carefully in their wit and charm and humour. She makes the best nicoise salad and I miss it. One year to the day that I was writing a travel log while in London, will be posted on this blog (coming in January 2005!), for I am most definitely some sort of masochist.
.5. Today is a great day for I purchased a digital camera, finally! So, erm, that means I will be posting a bazillion photos on here from now on and changing that About me photo every so often. If you are a friend of mine and I am to be seeing you soon, expect that I will be taking photos of you at all times. Recommend that you start coming up with new and exciting poses that are acceptable in public.
