					<description><![CDATA[I participated in my first LGBT Pride when I was about 22. I’d just come out, and I stood nervously on a London street with my friend, watching bright and colourful Pride floats filled with people pass. I gazed shyly at those participating, admiring how they were so comfortable and proud about who they were.

(Of course in reality I secretly enjoyed it. Though that&#8217;s not something I admit to Layla.) But this year, Layla and I agreed we would determinedly avoid any event connected [&#8230;]]]></description>

It is the day when the newly elected president is sworn in for the next four years. Full of pomp and circumstance, bugles, marching bands, songs, prayers, and lots of US flags, “What are you doing [&#8230;]]]></description>

The entire year I have been lived here has involved the most prolonged, sustained, energetic excitement about choosing a country&#8217;s leader that I could have imagined.

I kept compulsively checking my e-mails and Twitter feed for mentions of “Sandy”. After almost a year in Washington DC, hurricane Sandy was my first experience of extreme weather in the US.
