the road to citizenship...

While the road to citizenship has certainly been a long and strenuous one (not to mention gut wrenchingly expensive) the aftermath of all the efforts was extremely enjoyable. A British feast followed by a picnic in Hyde Park and classical music at the Royal Albert Hall... welcomed me into citizenship - must better than the ques at the Croydon citizenship offices.

and he's off...

Freddy has just headed off to his PhD viva which starts in 5min... it was pouring down rain this afternoon and it just stopped a couple minutes before he had to walk out the door. Perfect timing.

we want what fred wants...

Which undoubtedly meant we were going to be eating kebabs when we headed into Uppsala with all the boys from the lab. This started a crazy obsession that I now have with kebab pizza... it sounds so wrong, but is actually so very right that I had to eat in two nights in a row.

we're back...

We just arrived back from Sweden today. Had the most beautiful two weeks doing absolutely nothing but hanging out in the sunshine, sailing, swimming, and playing. It was really wonderful and so relaxing. More on some of our holiday adventures later... but for now, I'm off to bed.
