The clocks move at the end of the month. After that it starts to get dark by three thirty. We're up early determined to use these last long pre-winter days to their utmost.
Back in town the Howard University teams are squeezing in a last round before heading off to the airport and the flight back to Washington. A gentleman introduces himself as being on their coaching staff. We discover that Kamala Harris was a graduate of Howard and that fees - pre scholarship - are $57k a year. The American youngsters have wrapped up well against the cold but I'm betting they'll be happy to get back home.
We'd assumed that British Airways would prove to be reluctant to pay for the hotel room in London and the lengthy dinner we had when they cancelled our flight to the States. Imagine my delight when they pay in full - including the bottle of wine we had but which I had removed from the claim. They also paid for the Uniqlo wardrobe we bought when our bags went missing. 10/10 for good reputation restoring corporate PR - quick and hassle free.

I wonder what percentage of Howard University students pay the full fees. And how many play golf!
Enjoyed this morning's music selection - thanks!

Almond and orange go well together. Calling it 'amaretto' helps poshify and therefore costify... YAM xx
