A windshield is now a wind screen

Yesterday, we picked up the car from the Vehicle Processing Center. It was so great to see the car and know that we don’t need to worry about finding rides and whatnot. However, there was of course one small problem! The passenger ride mirror was broken! Somehow, the shell of the mirror was completely gone. The mirror was being held on by two zip ties. Wonderful! Pictures to come soon. The car is in the shop getting an MoT (which is equivalent to get inspected in the states). It also has to have work done on the headlights and needs a rear fog light. We can’t wait to have the car back.

We went to Cambridge this past weekend for sushi with some friends. It was not as good as the place we always went with Brusle in Texas. That was some good sushi (although the dish I always got was not technically “sushi”). We are told that Cambridge is the place for shopping. It was a very beautiful place! We can’t wait to go back and probably will this weekend.

We move into our HOUSE on Wednesday but our things will not be there until Thursday. We are thinking about staying in the hotel for one more night on Wednesday because if not we won’t have ANYTHING! No blankets, television, dishes, towels, etc. I also want to stay in the hotel because I want to watch American Idol with comes on AFN. But also because we won’t have any of our stuff :)

AFN is the Armed Forces Network which is like having very, very basic cable. I believe we get nine channels. Two are sports, two are slide show presentations for the two bases, and the rest are a varied arrangement of lots of different shows. For example, we took a nap yesterday and woke up at 4:00 pm to David Letterman. Went we got back from dinner at 8:00pm we walked in to Oprah. Starting at 9:00pm it’s Jay Leno, then David Letterman, then Craig Fergueson. It’s a pretty crazy schedule over here. American Idol does come on Wednesday at 6:00 and results show the next day at the same time. Whew...that goodness because they don’t play AI on hulu yet.
