neeeeeeeeeeeeEEWWWWWWWWW

that's the noise of the last five weeks whizzing by. Where have I been? What have I been doing? There's too much to write in full because I'd be here for hours, so I'll just summarize.

I went on holiday to the USA to meet Debs and bring her home from her travelling trip. We met up in Los Angeles, did the Walk of Fame, Venice Beach and a hike to the Hollywood sign and headed on to Las Vegas where we based ourselves for day trips to the Hoover Dam and Death Valley National Park. After that we went on to Flagstaff, Arizona and the Grand Canyon during which time I combatted my fear of heights with a six hour hike to Skeleton Point on the South Kaibab trail, as well as a half hour helicopter ride. From the Grand Canyon we went back to Vegas to sample the casinos, the all-you-can-eat buffets and the Vegas lifestyle before taking a long long bus ride to Denver, Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. A full report will appear on the site, but probably not before the year 2012.

Debs flicked the light switch in the kitchen and caused a mains fuse to blow, cutting power to 73 houses in the Harrow area.

I used the phrase 'bum chum' during lunch, forgetting that my gay colleague was sitting opposite me. Apologies once more for the terminology David.

A poker party at Simon H's house in Cranleigh turned into a 'fondue followed by drunken anecdotes' party with absolutely no poker played.

My Christmas shopping is all done and wrapped already, despite having a monstrous 13 people to buy for.

I helped Simon S take delivery of his new fridge, at the cost of the John Lewis delivery people thinking we were gay since we were two blokes in a one double bedroom flat.

I went out with a supplier who turned up with six grand in fifty pound notes in his pocket. We barely dented it, despite double Jack Daniels every round.

I got my burst tyre fixed for the princely sum of 110 pounds.
