Cardiff, more or less

rmI'll write the long and beautiful (or something) thing later.
Patty woke up with a British accent today, and I woke up with a broken mobile, but somehow, we've made it to Cardiff. I'm online and working from the somewhat hidden Starbucks at Mermaid Quay.
My first view of the Millennium Center was a _total_ money shot -- sun hitting the top of it, the "In These Stones" visible over a car park as I was walking along Bute Street. It's ridiculously sunny here, and I caught the memorial thingy out of the corer of my eye while looking for the (really, really quite hidden) Starbucks, and muttered to myself, "I can't do this," but whether that's fannish embarrassment or sincere grief, I'm not sure and would perhaps prefer not to find out. So far, I must confess, my most fannish moment here has been over the damn Tesco Kali and I put in IHNIIBT.
No one can understand my (increasingly muddled) accent here, and that's a little hard on me; I feel like the child in speech therapy again.
Is this Starbucks seriously playing "Black Magic Woman"? This is going to be one looooong, funny day.
*boggles*

Also, "Black Magic Woman" is less shocking than "Oye Come Va".
