Sunday morning in Stratford...

[fajrdrako]

Sunday morning in Stratford: we awoke to cool weather, and rain. Since it was blisteringly hot on Friday and not much cooler yesterday, this was a bit of a relief, though I should perhaps have packed something besides one light jacket with long sleeves.

No matter. I'm thinking of trying the candidiasis diet for a week; not easy, but maybe worth it, just to alleviate annoying symptoms.

We've been sharing the Festival Inn with a horde of soccer players. When the receptionist told us that there were soccer teams staying at the hotel, my first mental image was of brawny Brazilian men in shorts. Alas, these soccer players are a different breed: soft Canadian boys, average age about 11, who make a lot of noise at the pool, while their parents, as far as we could tell, spent three days eating and drinking at the picnic table in front of their hotel rooms. Everyone seemed to be having a good time.

I'm now at the computer in the lobby, which brings back memories of Chicago a few weeks ago. I love this Internet age, where you can find computers in most hotels. I wonder if it will be as easy in England?

I have been making a number of Resolutions. Can I do this? How disciplined can I be? (You are forbidden to laugh at that question...!)
