One thing I really like is how people sign things here- "Kind regards". Isn't that a pleasant way to say thank you or goodbye?

I found the most awesome coffee mug last week. It's a travel mug with a french press in it! You put the grounds in, pour the water in, then insert the press that's attached to the lid. You depress the filter, let it steep, then drink directly from that. It's wonderful. And the bottom has an empty compartment for you to put extra grounds in so you can have more coffee later! What a great invention. I'm very pleased with it.

Supposedly I'll get TV, Internet and a land phone line tomorrow at home. We'll see how that works.
