We have been here for almost a week now. We thought that the weekend would be more chaotic than it actually was. No police raids at three in the morning! A few late night shriekers, but then Hamilton T isn't exactly quiet as the grave!

We went to a flea market on Melrose and we visited Schindlers house (don't think he was related to the war hero). I did some practice driving with my driver, so that I would be ready to go off shopping on Monday. Which I did! And lost the car in the car park. I eventually found it with some help! Shops not too brilliant so far - so I ended up browsing in Staples, buying self adhesive coloured dots, pens, paper and other wonderful things! Surprise surprise, we are turning our apt into a home office! We have bought a printer, because Moop has to prepare for a talk he is giving and can't deal with the info he is getting in, without printing it out. It is only £40, so we will donate it to Venice Suites at the end, and hope it is still around for next time!

Last night we went to Typhoon, at Santa Monica airport and found that they had a jazz group playing. It was 'big band' with 16 players of varying age and size (mostly vast). They included 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and 4 saxaphones - so they made quite a lot of sound! It was good.

My techno freak son has complained that I have disabled the interactive thing where you can make comments on my blog. Sorry, but this is for aesthetic reasons. All comments are welcome on emails! He also suggested that I include hyperlinks to other interesting and relevant sites - which I have started to do. I'm hoping to be told a joke I can share with you, but none so far!
