Never been so happy to go to church

Here my walking companions and I are approaching Chichester Cathedral, the endpoint to our 10-mile ramble. I bruised my foot at around mile 2, so I was ready to sit for a bit of evensong.

Are we there yet? No.

This is the point in the walk from Southbourne to Chichester where Bosham (i.e. lunchtime) is really, really close. As the bird flies. There's just the tiny wrinkle that none of us can walk on water.

Proof we made it

Ok, so there's absolutely nothing in this photo that identifies it as Canterbury, so you'll have to trust me that that's where I took this photo after 11 miles.

The canter near Canterbury

We were on a bit of a detour on our country walk between Chilham/Chartham and Canterbury when we encountered this horse who came over thinking we had apples. We were not so generous.

Domesticated in South Ken

Remember that Spanish tortilla from more than a year ago? Well, since then, its chef and I have both moved to the same part of London. Today we attempted to recreate the original masterpiece--to great success, I'd say.

When were you last in a Hard Rock Cafe?

I'm thinking 1996. This one's in Dublin. We were there for about five minutes and gave up. (If you're having trouble understanding this photo, turn upside down. If you're still having trouble understanding it, so am I.)

Weather prediction at the Oval

The clouds moved away, the sun came out, and the umpire judged that there wouldn't be enough light left in the day after clearing the pitch. So no runs for England today. Still good fun. And better than Lord's.

Office decor

I'm back in San Jose. Yes, again. I thought I'd share something other than hotel photos.
