Hi Steve and Sarah,
So glad to hear the news of your new housemate, Steve. I think we will be seeing Ellen on her way over to you so we can all get together with papa, who's doing pretty well by the way, and have some sort of christmasy 'thing'.
We, here in the chilly sw (england branch) like to see these nodes of family building up. Although we share your feelings that it is sad for Ell to move away from Egypt, we selfishly are happy to think of a texas cluster and I'm sure it will be a really good move for you both.
Now that Mark has moved to Leicester, we are seeing alot more of the KCs. We were over last weekend for a concert of Vieux Farke Toure, (son of Ali FT if any of you know of him) a Malian musician. It was really great.
We are gradually getting to know Leicester better and Mark is very quickly working out the best music venues around town. He's loving it there and has managed to get involved in a couple seperate bands each of which have gigs coming up before the end of term. Not bad going. Oh, and as part of his studies I think he's reading some novels and watching some films too. As Al says, what's not to love.
you guys have a great thanksgiving, wherever you are celebrating. We will be thinking of you all as we tuck into our lentil something-or-other, mmmmmmh, love it!
