The sun today is so powerful that you can almost forget every day that it has been absent. Today is the most unbelievably beautiful day since we have been here. There is a perfectly blue sky and it is almost 70. It is like those days that I had written about in a previous post. The energy of the people outside is electrifying. I just sat outside and had lunch with some co-workers in the middle of a church courtyard right across from our offices. It was so nice to feel the sun beating down on you. I have never bought into the whole Vitamin D deficiency thing, but we have been told it is the most prescribed supplement for expats in England. We have not gotten to that level yet, but I have never yearned for the sun so much in my life. I am definitely leaving work early for a run through Hyde Park this evening. Ann is sadly missing this day in London, but since she is feeling the 80 degree sun of Cape Town this week, I am not feeling too bad for her. I hope that this weather sticks around for her return though this weekend.
If you noticed, I added in a new pic at the top of the blog. It is a picture of Churchill Arms, one of our favorite neighborhood pubs. Is that not one of the coolest things that you have ever seen? The picture I took last weekend from my iPhone did not do it too much justice, but the flowers are amazing.
I hope that everyone is having a great week. My Cardinals have not gotten off to the start that I was hoping, but they will come around. Most importantly, it is Masters week at Augusta. I am praying for good tv coverage here, so we shall see. I am incredibly jealous of my parents though as they are flying down this weekend and have tickets for the final round on Sunday. Similar to Busch Stadium on opening day, it is quite an amazing experience to stand on the grounds of Augusta National during Masters week. There are not many comparable sights or experiences in the world, and for a lover of the game of golf, well, it is downright spiritual.
