Down the Rabbit Hole (with pink Elephants): The Mother Country

And so it begins. Well not quite, after a few long and surprisingly sunny days in Peterborough we high tailed it to Portugal for 4 nights of sun and beer, like I hadn't had enough. In all seriousness there was a perfectly valid reason for this frivolous behavior, my winter clothes that were sent via Aust Post had not yet arrived and the bikinis and sundresses were not cutting it.

Spare time? What are you talking about.

Portugal, I wish I could say I know you but I don't. We were evoking the ultimate "ignorant tourist" within us and after I got over the guilt of not knowing how to say hello or goodbye in the language and only leaving the hotel grounds for food and drink I actually enjoyed myself. Not so many memories, although what stands out was that I finally finished my course of suppositories. Ill drink to that.

Back to the mother country, in another bloody long immigration que, I still get nervous when they question me. Hello London!

A pelican on its nest on a chimney. Fancy.

Look right, doesnt Nick look like a dirty Mexican? Not that Mexicans are dirty, I swear I am not racist.

So we returned and then it dawned on me, why the hell is the sun shining??? That doesn't happen in the UK we are all taught that back home just like you poms learn about us traveling to school every day on Kangaroos with corks flying around our faces. Ridiculous, really guys.

When the raindrops were not falling on anything


This squirrel stayed like this for me for at least 3 minutes, poser.

St James Park

No shit it has been the most wonderful weather. Sunny and fantastic, very picturesque. I am very impressed but slightly dissapointed. You see during the last 3 weeks that I have been staying in London (rent free thankyou Denis) Nick and I have been slightly bored. Unemployed, looking for work I swear, and looking for places to stay but with no luck so far.

Before you go getting the tissues out for me let me assure you that there is hope. Nick smashed it in an interview yesterday so I am sure it wont take long for him to start bringing in some dough ;)

Leicester Square Fair

ASOS.COM - please note all online retailers I paid 14.95 pound what is that like $24 for a 1 year membership. I can order as much crap as I like, free next day delivery and if you dont like it you put it back in the bag they pick it up FOR FREE and refund you the money. They may have bad teeth but they aint dumb these folk.

So, online shopping. I purchased and umbrella, no not just any umbrella. A fold up automatic one, decorated with Monets Poppy fields. $50 I know, its slightly extravagant but have a look at the video I am sure my horrible singing will convince you.

Little poser I saw in St James park

Anyway, boredom. 3 weeks of it. I have noticed a pattern in what activities I do in all my spare time. Watch Miami, LA and London Ink, research plastic surgery and online shop. Not healthy.

Point of that long winded conversation was that I spent too much money on an umbrella and since then it hasn't rained once.

Just you watch we will now have a drought in England.
