Things have been a bit busy. Firstly, this happened yesterday:

Yes, I now own a car. It surprises me almost as much as it does you. As of yesterday, I have finally given up the long experiment of getting around the Triangle by public transport. It worked out better than most would expect, but I am a little tired of having two hour round-trips to Whole Foods.

I will, of course, still walk to work. Because I’m strange.

When I last wrote, I was in Hawaii. This week, my family have been here in NC instead. Their week here has mostly consisted of eating, meeting my friends, and putting up shelves. Oh, and Mum spent most of the day today cooking and cursing American ovens and pans.

Will be sad to see them go tomorrow, but at least in this day and age, we have FaceTime.
