So far I’m having a very American weekend…

My mum’s visit came to an end a week or so ago. There’s still little pieces of Britain floating around the house in the shape of Plain Chocolate Digestives, Prawn Cocktail crisps, and the glass of Vimto, but things have rapidly returned back to normal.

So far this weekend has dropped some more leaves of the front lawn and a nip in the morning air, signaling the rapid approach of Autumn. Friday I had the chance to venture slightly West of Downtown Cleveland. Spending a couple of hours at the Parkview Niteclub taking in the blues of Austin “Walkin’ Cane” before his trip to Nepal.  It was great seeing live music in the kind of original neighbourhood bar you’d only find in America – A lot of fun.

Today we popped around the malls and, after returning home, I found I really suck at playing basketball but it was great playing in the afternoon sun with Julie and Josh.

Sharing some Chinese takeout with my son rounded out the day nicely. Tomorrow, maybe a walk along the Lake.
