Bumper stickers

They do of course like to share their opinions over here and bumper stickers is one way of doing just that. Saw this car when we went to Harvard the other week which took it to the extreme.

Well it's nearly the end, Emma has one week left at work. 5 weeks later we'll set off on our west coast trip, 2 weeks after that we'll be returning from New England to the old England, with a new Prime Minister to greet us. The closer we get to coming home the more sad we are to be leaving. We've filled out and sent off our re-entry permits, so if Gordon Brown doesn't look after us we'll hopefully be allowed back into the U.S. of A.

Colour has made a welcome return, spring has definitely sprung. In fact it's been more like summer this week and allowed us to get out for a few walks and enjoy the sun. Although I've come down with some kind of hay-fever/cold thing which has knocked me off my stride for the past couple of weeks. Never suffered from hay-fever back in England and didn't get as many colds because I rode my bike once or twice a week, kept me a bit fitter. Looking forward to getting back on the bike when I return. Will need to buy one first though.

We're not the only ones planning to leave over the next month or so. All the local universities and colleges are rapping up for the summer and graduating students returning home. Should be allot quieter round here when they've moved on, until the next lot arrive in August. We of course wont be here by then, if we were staying. I doubt we would be staying in the apartment building. It's become more like a halls of residence while we've been here, watching the families move out and the students move in, musical instruments and small dogs in tow. There's still 'Smoky Joe' that's not his real name but one Em gave him. He's still around, resuscitating himself each morning after his walk. He's just one of the many characters we've come across out here. Going to miss them all. Going to miss Boston.

Cheerio.
