I had a big moment today. It has happened ... I have been converted. For the first time in my life I have tried Marmite and ...... *drum roll* ..... I really liked it. I know that it has forever been made fun of in the states for being unthinkably gross, but I had some on a piece of well done toast (at the strong insisting of Ellie and Fionn), and it was wonderful. Tastes kind of starchy and amazing :)

I got another package from home on Tuesday - my mom sent me my Halloween costume (for my MOHOs it is the red renaissance gown that I wore the last couple of years), but it seems the jar of Fluff (a prized rarity here in the UK) my dad put in the box exploded mid flight and ended up all over my dress and lab coat ... .thank god it is just pure sugar and came off easily with hot water ... but it gave me a right good scare.

I have also started to fill out post cards for everyone back in the States, so keep an eye out for that. I just bought a ton of them and will be slowly sending them out; so if you are impatient, drop me a line and I will bump you up to the top of the pile :)
