Bizarre&#8230; Still I prefer questions about my gastrointestinal health to the usual barrage of interrogation they usually give me.  On the plane they didn&#8217;t have any customs forms in English so they gave me a Spanish one, which in my sleepy state I filled in in Spanish. The customs bloke read it and saw &#8220;Country where passport issued&#8221; was Inglaterra. He crossed it out with a red pen and wrote &#8220;Mexico&#8221;. I despair at the US educational system and their Spanish teachers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There was banks of fog at LAX so we ended up landing in Ontario Airport and hanging around for half an hour then flying back to LAX, so we got in a bit late. However I managed to sleep through both take offs, both landings and even breakfast so it&#8217;s all good.<\/p>\n<p>Sita&#8217;s got a lovely little apartment here 5 minutes from Trader Joe&#8217;s so I&#8217;ve been working on various websites and keeping myself to myself. Later today we&#8217;re Downey bound. Strange internet setup here that varies between blisteringly fast and zilch and my lappy won&#8217;t connect because of lingering issues with the IE7 beta thing I stupidly installed 6 months ago&#8230; But all&#8217;s well.
