We are still going through the old pictures and Deanne pulls out this on with a laugh.
This was taken in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. I spent about a month there just bumming around. Everyone who sees this laughs and says it looks like I am posing in front of MY restaurant.
I ate at the Restaurant Islamic [...]

The chocolate gifts that I brought back from Scotland seem to be going down well. Anyone who loves chocolate can immediately tell the difference. Barb sent me an IM about the fab “Flake”.
My personal fav is the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer. I brought back lots of them to share. The fowk at Deanne’s work loved them [...]

The holiday ends today. We are getting ready to catch our 840 AM flight from Aberdee to London. 2 hours in Heathrow… just enough time to switch terminals. Hopefully, no problems through the infamous terminal 5. We should get into El Paso 9PM, then we must drive home.
Farewell! So long!
See you soon!

MC says ‘ Are ye feckin’ mad!? ‘
I [...]

British money can drive you crazy. Look at the size of these coins.
This is about £10 in coins and they weigh as much as their value. It must be some sort of hold over from WWII (everything seems to be), I guess if you ran out of ammunition you could kill the Jerries by throwing [...]

Wonderful things these rowies are. They are like croissonts but flattened. You warm them a bit in the toaster and then spread butter and jam on them.
This is part of what make Scotland number 1 in Europe for heart disease, well combined with smoking, drinking, and the other bad stuff they eat. However, I love [...]

I started feeling a cold come on Saturday night. Nothing too bad but my nose was running like a tap. I thought it was due to all the smoking. I don’t smoke anymore but lots of people do over here. I think I’m cured for good. I had one puff of a cigarette and nearly [...]

The French, the French, the French have soggy feet
but ours are nice and dry. Hooray for the Iron Duke,
and his crazy rubber boot!
