Full English Breakfast = fried egg, sausage, bacon, baked beans, mushrooms, toast, fried tomato

Full English Family = husband, wife, daughter, son, faithful dog, male cat, female cat

Had full English dinner at a pub with two of my favorite friends of my family--Anna and Steven. At dinner while we waited for our food and her kids ate pizza and pasta, Anna asked me if I was hungry, I said I was starving.  Suddenly, her eight year old daughter cut me a piece of her pizza, and said I could have it.  The four-year-old gave me some pasta on his fork.  I wanted to cry.  It seems like so often during this trip people have been trying to get things from my mom and I--tips, money, time, sympathy, green cards, passports, reasons for being somewhere--it was absolutely wonderful to have something given to me.  Their children are so kind. 

Steven has a great way of telling stories that I think I might steal and use when I tell stories. 

Listened to a podcast on brand marketing where a scientist planted a family in suburbia who only talked about brands to their friends to see when subjects would pick up on the family's one track conversations.  No one did. 

Stayed in another novotel hotel, let me tell you, brand fans, they're grrrreat.
