Does this country ever get any SUN?!?!

Holy crap.

This has got to be the eighteen millionth cloudy day in a row. I know it's England, but DAMN.

I can't remember if I wrote this in here before, but I have re-written Human Resources as a sit-com (as per Ben Knight's advice) and sent it out to the BBC and other channels just to see what happens. I have received three PFO letters and two letters saying it has been received and in the process of being reviewed. BBC Writer's room is a great resource. I can't believe how easy it is to get your script read by pros in this country. Mark down one for England.

The new job starts in two weeks and the house is just down to the lawyers now. The homebuyer's report came back with some minor issues, but overall it looks like a great house. I cannot wait to move in...

REOs:

English people have no peripheral vision. I am truly convinced of this, maybe it's not part of their genetic makeup or maybe they lost it in the war. I used to think it was just Kate who walked into people without looking, and then I noticed that her mom does it too. And now I realise that it is everybody. I have lost count how many times people walk straight out in front of me on the street, where last minute evasive maneuvers on my part are all that stop me from barreling them over.

Back home there is a course for kids with ADD. Part of the process is to make them walk around holding hula hoops so they can better judge how much space people require. I think the NHS should hand out of hula hoops to the english public. HULA HOOPS FOR EVERYONE!
