ONE MORE SLEEP!!!!!!
I am spending as much time in my beloved bed as I possibly can! This morning I took the dog to his stick range and gave him a good workout. He knows something is up. He is going to be a sad boy... but the man is going to make up for it, with long walks on the beach and plenty of one on one.
TWO MORE SLEEPS!!!!!
We are off to California on Friday. I can't wait to get my suitcase packed. I must have spent a hundred bucks on souvenirs. I've got enough Aussie Flags to start a riot!... and balloons... and teatowels... and toothpicks ...and calendars to come out of my ears. I reckon I've gone over the weight limit!
We got TimTams and of cause the (no longer Aussie) Vegemite. It is an acquired taste, but once you got it, it's not easy to live without it...
The very first time I had Vegemite on toast, I mistook it for Nutella and slathered it right on... you should have seen the grimace on my face! It was suggested I should try Marmite instead, as it was a little sweeter, but it did not take long at all before I got used to that salty taste. The education of the pallate is a cultural responsebility. I have been told that the cereals are dreadfully sweet in the U.S. and that it is difficult to get a decent coffee. Well, we'll see!
