world news roundup

From our reporters in London, these two are together for a few days.  Em arrived safely on Wednesday morning after an o'nighter from Seattle.

Looks cold.

The news locally is that the tiling project is done and looks gorgeous.  I don't know how he did it but the grout is almost the same color as the wall.  I'm very pleased.

In other news, we're just enjoying the beautiful sunshine which we are going to have for about 10 days.  Then there's another chance of more gray skies.  Trip to Colima tomorrow to check on the progress of the sofa re-upholstery, to pay a visit to a huge nursery for some new plants, and undoubtedly lunch at Cronos. 

Saturday's opera:  Massenet's "Manon ".  I'll be listening while enjoying my "opera" salad of shrimp from Dago's.
