bits & bobs
Right, so a quick update before I head to bed after reading just a little Harry Potter. Like most of you, I'm sure, I'm both enjoying the new read and trying to pace myself, unlike the whirlwind read through book 5 which I am now trying to piece back together, oops.
So, Thanksgiving service this Saturday! Plans are whirling into place, and I'm getting pretty excited, actually! It is quite a strange circumstance, gathering ones family and friends for a big do complete with something in a church and then, well, you're not really married. But, its uncharted waters in today's global community. Gotta do what you gotta do. And while you're doing it, you might as well have a great time and drink lots of wine, woohoo!
One thing I've been meaning to tell my readers who may be unfamiliar with the old country is that I never cease to get a kick out of how English men, bless them, as soon as its warm outside, just up and remove their shirts. It cracks me up. There're shirtless guys all over the place. In FACT I was walking home from work the other day, which happened to be particularly hot, and Mr So and So around the corner was mixing cement in his front yard and wheelbarrowing it to the back yard ... in a Speedo. That's right, a Speedo. Just your ordinary working in the yard attire, no?
Anyways, in an unrelated but humorous aside, here is an excerpt from a conversation with Sam earlier. The setting, he is getting ready for work at the Holiday Inn, and comes in buttoning his shirt, previously misplaced tie hanging around neck.
Me: Hey, where did you find that tie?
Sam: (sheepish) It was on my tie rack. (pause) I forgot I had one.
Me: You forgot you had a tie rack? After you put the tie on it?
Sam: Yes.
I'll never be short of laughs, I can tell you that right now.
