Where waffles appear at the bottom of the menu list, almost as an afterthought! Just not trying. Now, Norwich's one is all about the waffles, and nothing but waffles, sweet ans (unexpectedly good) savoury. That's dedication.

Yeah, real bummer when you're away from home: especially with four weeks still ahead of hauling a heavy suitcase up the endless steps of old hotels. Even using my camera is a challenge...

No! As bad as when Gary's gallbladder bought it in San Francisco.

Welcome, Brighton Travel! Yes indeed, a whole crater, and full of totora reeds that originate in South America and are yet another Easter Island mystery.

The picture at the top is really beautiful! At first it seemed like a pond with scum on it, and then I realized that it's a whole crater!

Brains, eh? They're mysterious beasts. But I wouldn't be without mine.

It all makes sensse now. Gary has jamais vu if he doesn't take his epilepsy medication. He could do without travel. He can also watch The Replacements with Keanu Reeves every time it broadcasts. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

2012-03-15T22:40:02.971+13:00

Yes, anyone would think that Tolkien had been to New Zealand. It was a complete no-brainer for Peter Jackson to film the books here.

2012-03-15T22:02:21.050+13:00

This is such a pretty picture! I was just rereading The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday, and this looks exactly how I imagined the Shire, well, minus the snowcapped mountain in the distance.

I love the Balkans!

2012-02-29T21:12:27.350+13:00

I'm sure you're right, once I'm in amongst it - it's just complicated trying to book stuff up ahead of time.

2012-02-29T20:26:25.198+13:00

The European rail network might seem weird to you now, but you eventually get used to navigating it. If we Europeans can do it, you can do it too. I assume you're traveling in Western Europe - that's good, figuring things out won't be as messy as in the Balkans. That's about the worst you can get.

2012-02-19T11:12:26.174+13:00

I was going to comment on the beautiful scenery, but I got distracted by the top hat. There's nothing better in the world than a top hat, especially if there's mountain scenery in the background.

2012-02-10T13:53:55.320+13:00

It's a warm salad of roasted vegetables: aubergine, capsicum, corn, courgettes, olives, pinenuts and so on. Delicious.
The whole round of brie is stuffed with mushrooms and other good things, and baked so it's all melty, and the white circle is its top.
The icecream was on a stick at the beach, later.
Thank you. I do.

Is that a chopped salad? How is that stuffed brie?...

2012-02-10T11:19:47.823+13:00

Is that a chopped salad?
How is that stuffed brie? Is the white on top a slice of brie?
No ice cream photo?
And those are fine, sloped toes. You know it too.

2012-02-01T06:37:32.816+13:00

This looks like so much fun, and I can't help but be jealous of all those people laughing in the sun, wearing short sleeves and shorts while I'm huddling in front of my computer, looking at the mountains of snow outside. Sigh.

2012-01-12T09:44:57.653+13:00

You must! It's a brilliant day out, and you'll be able to boast about it for ever after.

2012-01-11T19:27:08.036+13:00

I didn't know about the incident, but now I really hope that nothing bad is going to happen to those poor whales...I never swam with them, but I would like to someday.

2012-01-08T06:59:24.467+13:00

Yes, you're right: another quake in Christchurch isn't news any more, sadly, unless it's above 5. Even then, it's not the first item on the news.

2012-01-08T06:32:04.197+13:00

Of course I immediately checked your blog to see where you were and if there's been a balloon adventure scheduled.

I did not check your blog when I saw another earthquake hit Christchurch yesterday.

2011-12-23T17:48:17.675+13:00

Welcome Tunis! Yes, much prettier than the brown lace-up school shoes I used to wear that they remind me of - biking to school with my toes on the pedals made the tips of the shoes curl up just like that. People laughed!

Hi Queen: Thanks. "Not again" is what everybody in the country is saying, and our hearts are going out to Christchurch. "Especially now" is pretty up there too - they'd had such a long break from the quakes, they'd started to hope again. Sigh.

Ah Jeez, Christchurch, not again. So sad.

2011-12-23T17:39:24.107+13:00

Ah Jeez, Christchurch, not again. So sad.
