Note to self: Payless car rental is *way* offsite from SFO. Avoid in future.—@ndw
@ndw What's not way offsite at SFO? Takes an hour just to go to the rental line to wait

*beyond that*.—@ndw

@adamretter Tell me about it! The trains from Liverpool Street to Norwich never have plugs. After
a trans-Atlantic flight, it's a real pain.—@ndw

The longest golf putt ever was done on-board #concorde whilst travelling at Mach 2. It took 23 seconds and the ball travelled 8.5 miles!—@philipfennell

Cucumbers: pickling. Tomatillos: salsaing. Dinner: ratatouilling. It's almost like
New England has great local produce in summer.—@liza
