The Cactus Trip Diaries

Today was designed to let me adjust again to a change of time zones – this time 8 hours different with time in the UK. So I got up at just after 7 a.m. and chatted for a while with Angie in Amesbury, UK, where it was 15:00 hrs. At the same time, Eunice was panicking about some improvements to the shower, that seemed to be going wrong big time. As always, everything was fine in the end. I managed to finish the ‘credits’ portion of next Sunday’s presentation and gave Eunice a preview of what I had prepared. 

Around four p.m. we went to visit the gardens at the Dominguez Rancho Adobe where the Long Beach C&S Society hold their monthly meetings and where, three years ago, I had given my first presentation to an US audience. How time flies. By 9 in the evening, my body reminded me hat it was already 5 a.m. the next day in the UK and I was ready to pass out.
