Settling in

We thought we had this moving lark licked yesterday when we all slept through til 7.30am, but Ruth got us up at 5.30am again today... guess it will be a while longer! Today is Alex's first day at work, apparently he has been busy but everyone is being nice to him so far. Ruth and I drove him in and tried not to embarrass him at the school gate.

Ruth is having long day time naps at the moment - I actually found time to iron Alex's shirts this morning! I know, I couldn't believe it myself. We went to Gymboree (like the Little Gym) this afternoon, which Ruth really loved. She managed to get a play date booked with a little boy she pursued shamelessly.

More cultural differences:
- can't work out what bread to buy. Bewildering range.
- Managed to buy a tiny travel kettle, which was the ONLY one on sale at Walmart. A whole aisle of coffee makers though.
- They didn't sell clothes horses. 4 different laundry baskets, no racks at all.
- You can turn right on at a red light!
