Stephen & Elisabeth in England

belated blogging
Mood:  lazy
Now Playing: The sounds of silence
Topic: Stephen Says
Been meaning to blog for a while but have been too busy and by busy I mean lazy. Perhaps Elisabeth is right and we're suffering from Blogger burnout? Anyway, what provoked me to blog today is seeing an old lady get hit by a bus just outside of the town centre. She's alright, a bit shooken up and maybe has a broken leg. Ah, Woking.

E has already mentioned that I'm on a bit of a health kick. There's a TV show on in the morning that takes 40+ year olds who lead hectic lifestyles and live unhealthily and get them to turn it all around in 6 weeks, pointing out just how bad their bad habits are. Well, since I'm approaching 30, I don't want to have to make huge lifestyle changes 10 years down the line so I'm fixing things now. Hence the smoothie infatuation. A soy milk smoothie for breakfast can add 7 years to your life, did you know?

I'm also trying to eat more regularly. Hence the black forest cake & Tabasco brand Spanish olives I'm having for lunch. Don't tell Elisabeth.

Spain has come up real fast and, since the trip is in Elisabeth's hands, it's a bit weird not really planning anything. I imagine that I'll freak out either tonight or tomorrow at the airport when I find out what's in store for us.

I am, however, going with the expectation of being robbed. I don't know anyone whose gone to Barcelona without getting something lifted and the travel books make it sound like a certainty. So do you hear me, all you Spanish pickpockets? I've budgeted a 50Euro theft into our travel itinary. Come and get us!

E (Surprised look on her face): Oh yeah... packing!

Hello again - I initially posted some comments under your 31 August 2004 blog but it's not clear that you would see them unless you actually went back that far manually so this is just to let you know that I did it recently.

Still enjoying your experiences...

Welcome and thanks for directing us to your comments of old. We're very bad at going back and looking at old comments. At least, I am.

Thanks for letting us know! I've replied to your comment on the 31 August 2004. I doubt we can ever be alerted when new comments are posted, so we generally stick to comments made on the most recent entries. Happy Valentines...woooweee!
