Living in London

Life goes on, but it’s always different afterwards. And today is no different for us. We have errands to do (need to buy a dishwasher, take the drycleaning, take the cardboard to the recycling centre) and a life to live.

And we do it — but with a bit of something hanging in the back of our minds.

The beauty of the British is that their response has been so different than the U.S. after September 11th.  There are no flags draped on every car, no (or not many) people looking for immediate retribution, no hysteria. Just quiet determination and stoicism. It makes me realize how much we really do like the culture here, in spite of all our frustrations documented on this web site over the last year.
