These two pictures were taken this morning from the same spot at the same time, one facing west, the other facing east; fickle sky, eh?  We're coming to the end of our time here.  The dogs have a vet appointment for their export exams and paperwork.  How long do you think Rich and I will continue to speak the lingo once we are back in the US?  Pronouncing words with long i's and long e's, (Rich will probably continue to call Rx Reex), nasal o's and r's, saying things are spot on, asking patients to take off their jumper (sweater), nil by mouth, good as gold, and being willing to give it a go.  Driving on roundabouts counterclockwise again shouldn't be a hard adjustment because we'll be in the right lane. http://www.3news.co.nz/Stress-can-lead-to-early-death---study/tabid/420/articleID/263692/Default.aspx    The guest speaker on the video on this link is our neighbor's daughter.  Their five y/o grandson (son in Christchurch) is being treated for an unusual brain tumor and has a poor prognosis.  Dinner with Rich's kiwi colleagues last night; learned about the Royal Marsden.
