We're getting towed.

The clutch went out . Nina's cafe phone won't allow the incoming calls we need to keep in touch with AA (the European AAA). We hung out in Nina's, drinking coffee and then buying some breakfast.

Nina: "This is the hottest it's been since '81. We're definitely having a heat wave."

Clarke: "Yeah, a heat wave where you have to wear a sweater at night."

Good show, old chap.

I hung out with some kids on the lot yesterday. Real sweet kids: Caylin, 7 and Amber, 4, I think. Very smart and very nice kids.

Amber to me: "You're very, very, very, very cheeky."

Caylin to me: "You don't know English very well, do you?"

"Amber, do you want this peach or not?"

"I don't want it."

"Shall I eat it?"

"Yes."

Just like those over-polite chipmunks.

Caylin ran off and came back with a fake cigarette that he got at the "Joke Shop".

I met Churchill's granddaughter yesterday, also. I shit you not.
