Yanks make surprisingly good tea

Well folks, sorry for the quiet spot...

I moved about 50 yards up the road into a bigger house, had tons of junk to shift & dispose of, then all the tidying and sorting, which is still far from being finished, changing the billing addresses on ALL the accounts (one seems to forget how many there are - 3 credit cards, charge card, bank, 3 magazine subscriptions, gas, electric, water, the business, business banking, a million and one websites...) the ongoing BiG (BiG, BiG) work project, no broadband (!!) for 2 of those weeks and on the day BBFK & Nöel landed in England I stuck her tank up the arse of another car! Funnily enough littl'un stayed asleep in her seat the whole time! Considering there was a busted light, shoved-in bumper, bent grill not to mention the dented tailgate of the other car, then you'd have thought she'd have woken up.

And then there was the foiled terror plot the day after BBFK landed, a weekend in Wales carrying bikes into cloud-misted peaks and throwing ourselves off the other side, buying a new bike for Nöel, another for BBFK and a monster machine for me (props to Cycle Kingdom in Fleet for the great service... oh, and BTW... when are you guys gonna sort your website out? ;) Oh wait... I could do that...) plus numerous bottles of Champagne (thankyou, friends), curries, BBQs, clearing the backyard jungle, having a busted Dyson vacuum cleaner for nearly 3 weeks, fixing some foreign bloke's dented car for ca$h, showing the broad 'round the world's biggest outdoor market, buying her a 2 dollar outfit, a day at the zoo and then more work, work, work.

And yes, these Yanks make surprisingly good mugs of tea :)
