Picture of big Lufthansa Jet to go here

I'm in Frankfurt airport, isn't technology wonderful - enjoying wifi at 13 eur for 3 hours off t mobile. It seems the money I gave to t Mobile for 24 hours service in 'Frisco airport is not good here.

It's weird, you hit the regular blogger website address here and it talks to you in German! My German really is non existent, but I can guess what the buttons mean as they are all in the regular places.

Germany is rainy and overcast this Sunday Morning, although my body thinks it's still Saturday night. Welcome to summer in Europe.

My faithful little iBook, not in it's first flush of youth, was a star all the way through the flight from 'Frisco to here and I have finally filed away and deleted a huge quantity of work e-mail that had been bugging me for ages. It was like re-capping on my previous three months work. There is just no way I would have found a spare three hours to sort the e-mail out in any other context than sitting on a plane for hours, even though the laptop had to be at a very strange angle due to to horrors of economy class and the person in front having reclined their seat, as ever. All the e-mail filing made the time go very fast and I only had time to watch the New York Dolls reunion gig and an episode of Heroes on the iPod.

I took a picture of the Lufthansa plane I took over, but I don't have the cables for my Leica just now, so I'll need to upload that later - so this is the first blog post with no pic, for now. I managed to forget to charge the battery for the Leica, so it took the Lufthansa photo with it's last breath of power, red battery graphic flashing away.

I actually managed to forget my charger for the iBook and leave it in the Claremont yesterday, so after a fruitless little attempt at buying a new one (in Best Buy of all places in 'Frisco - aren't they just the WORST assistants in the world there? Youth does not always have advantages) I had to go back to the Claremont and retrieve the old one. So I went from Berkeley to 'Frisco twice yesterday. It wasn't all bad, we found a nice vegetarian Chinese in Berkeley and I had pretend chicken and a nice Chinese beer.

So the flight to India is in a hours time so we better start to wonder where the departure gate is.......
