Most of the time we were in Eastbourne, so I guess we were there when you mention that high temp! It wasn't so bad for me really, having suffering from a very hot Georgia summer. Heard on the radio, this August in Georgia was THE hottest since they began keeping records! Man, record breaking temps just follow me wherever I go! First time I ever went to England, the pound was EQUAL to the dollar...those were the days!!

(He meant baseball teams, we were watching the baseball game on the time, we way we do, talking on the phone!) Anyway, it is hard for my Dad to believe that there are places that don't have baseball! He likes all sports really but baseball is his favorite.<br />I could guess that chips are popular there, and I should have known you would call them chips also, whereas we call them french fries in the USA! :-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-10986709573105734772016-09-24T20:31:53.661-04:002016-09-24T20:31:53.661-04:00I have always been slower than anyone else, it mus...I have always been slower than anyone else, it must take me 2 days per hour of time change!

My favourite kind are when the batter hits it right down the middle and the pitcher manages to catch it. Never gets old or less impressive. Good luck adjusting back to US time.
