Bonjour, mes amis! Bonjour mes enfants, mes bebes! J'aurai une tres joli page, mais je n'aurai pas trop de temps.

That was my broken attempt to connect to our friends across the channel, so, for my English viewers, follows is a sensible rendering of that nonsense:

Hello, my friends! Hello my children, my babies! I will have a very pretty page, but I will not have much time. And that is true. I have no time for anything. But leave a message, and I will talk to you. And I might even put a picture up. Like the one I just put up of the Lake Country. Those aren't rolling hills covered with lush, verdant pastureland. Those are sharp rocks covered by snow. I will have pictures up soon that are more aesthetically pleasing. I hope, and you hope, too.

Life: not much. Shopping, talking, and travel. And mon amie. Mon amie est plus marchent que une chameau. Mais mon amie ne parle pas francais...Je suis gentil, et je le sais.

That wraps it up this hour. Coming up, we'll cross now to our Tokyo bureau...and back here in London, I should be sleeping.
