I like biscuits (cookies)

I have officially been here for 2 weeks!

Today was another domestic day for me. I did a little ironing and a little vacuuming. But I did manage to leave the house today to have chicken pie at a pub on the High Street. I also tried some more English biscuits. These ones I really like. They're called 'Penguin Biscuits' and they're like 'Fudgeos' with a chocolate coating. Mmmmm.

I also sorted out my baggage issue! The nice man at British Airways informed me that I didn't even need to fill out the confusing set of forms that was boggling my mind. So, tomorrow, I will ask Kevin to fax the proper form. Hopefully I will see my stuff this week!

I had such a designer moment today! Anyone who has gone through my program, or any graphic design program for that matter, will tell you that they are now cursed with a mind that critiques any sort of visual communication that they see. So, today, when Oldest was working on a poster for her science class, I had to bite my tongue at her use of 'Copperplate Gothic' and an underline. It was even worse when she started to make each letter of 'electricity' a different colour… and not in the order they appear in the rainbow. Of course, that's exactly what most 10-year-olds, (including myself, at that age) regard as 'cool' design. Oh well. She's a very clever young lady, but the visual arts are just not her forté.

Tomorrow night is the 4th Wednesday night of the month, which means that there is a rehearsal for the Birmingham Community Gospel Choir! I am going to go out and see if I can join up. I am looking forward to singing in a choir again. Although, I am a little shy to go… I'm not exactly an expert or anything. Stay tuned to learn about how that goes!
