At first, it was Chips 1, Catfood 0 but now it is looking more like 1 all. Not so funny now, is it Chippy, not when your ribs look like you've swallowed a football. I've a plentiful supply of pine floor cleaner, ready for the morning.
Today, Gingerted and I went to the States. The plane was fine and we arrived in good form to meet Joan and go and stay with her before the Camp Chatterbox 15 year reunion this weekend.
We had a day at the pool, down the waterslide then an evening at the disco, with speeches, dancing, songs and celebration. Hooray for 15 years of Camp, for friendships and for the experience that ultimately ignited 1Voice.
We had a fabulous time at the Fitzpatricks' house. Thank you everyone for a great day, and Dennis, your baseball skill impressed me. Gingerted had a photoshoot and we are looking forward to the pictures!
During our stay Gingerted and I have been impressed with the Americans' Halloween decorations. When we first arrived, we thought that a 9 foot high inflatable pumpkin, spider and ghosts was the wildest thing we had ever seen, but that has been kicked into insignificance by the home made illuminated graveyard ( playing organ music) with scream emitting headstones, a werewolf on the roof and moving ghouls (with genuine skulls) hanging from the trees.
Today, I was amusing myself before my flight home, and I sat down in a lovely park. The above police car drove along
the path and slowed down.
Officer of the Law: *waves*
Tamsin: *waves back*
Officer of the Law: How are you?
Tamsin: Good (see how I picked up the lingo in under a week), thank you (ever polite)
Officer of the Law: *gets out of car and walks towards Tamsin*
Tamsin: Am I doing wrong?
Officer of the Law: (thoughtfully) I don't ..... thiiiiiiiiiink so.... You're wearing a blue shirt, not a green shirt.
Tamsin: Oh good
Officer of the Law: Have a good day *Turns and walks back to his vehicle*
Tamsin: You too (I'm so gangster)
Officer of the Law: *Drives off*
Tamsin: *doesn't have to accompany said officer to the station. Or produce any papers. Which was a blessing as I didn't
have any on me*
The end.
This page is not finished yet, but I have been given a proverbal boot in the proverbial area of anatomy to get on with it, so I am leaving it as a work in progress. But I have to go to bed now!!
