Hot, hot, hot. Oh, and dry. I haven't taken a photo for a couple of days now, though I'm keeping a hopeful eye on some barrel cactus buds.
Last time I needed to renew my passport, I used photos from one of the coin-operated booths that are ubiquitous in British cities. This time, I went to our in-house photographer, who had a certain amount of trouble with the trimming because it was specified in mm (35x45), and his passport-trimming gadget produces the US 2"x2" standard.
Somewhat analogously, when I was in England and needed a document notarized to US standards, I had to go to a fancy law office downtown, whereas here it would just be a matter of popping across the road to HR.
Living in other people's countries is awkward sometimes.
And hot. Did I mention the heat?
On the other hand, Amazon is finally, finally, 'about to ship' my copy of Traitor's Knot by Janny Wurts.
Edit: It shipped!
