All did!

Today we managed to complete our list of theme parks! So, we have done ...

  • Disney's Magic Kingdom
  • Disney's Animal Kingdom
  • Disney's Hollywood Studios
  • Epcot
  • Seaworld
  • Universal Islands of Adventure
  • Universal Studions
  • Busch Gardens
Our illness is restricting me from doing the big rides. I did Exhibition Everest but it was really too much for me, got me choking so not good.

We want to return to Epcos because we couldn't do Saurin or Test Track last time, ran out of time. we'd also like to pop back to Hollywood Studios to see fantasmic but if we don't, it's no big deal.

Busch gardens is impressive in what it has though the implimentation needs a lot of work. It's like they spent loads on rides and exhibits, which is cool, but then forgot to get in the little extra glitz to make it special.

Today we went to Clearwater Beach. Boy I love that place! It is probably the first place I have been since being here where I totally relaxed. It is soo laid back. The warmth of the sea is incredible and th sand so white. It's impossible not to be impressed. The only sad thing was the rubbish on the beach despite there being plenty of litter bins which were not over flowing.

Tomorrow is Epcot, the day after, probably Cocoa Beach ... we are determined to see some alligators before going home.

Called Andy to say happy Birthday, not sure he appreciated me doing that whilst paddling in the Gulf of Mexico in 30C but hey, not many of his mates would have called him from 3000+ miles away!

Loves my Daisy and Sean ... wish others would stop giving them a hard time and remember what friendship is all about.

Love it here but looking forward to being home too.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
