And another thing

Forgot to say that today is the start of 'let's try being a vegetarian for a month' month. Think Stu might be inadvertently joining me too as we can't seem to find any organic meat and I don't think even he can bring himself to eat intensively farmed shit.

And also please everyone email the prime minister of Canada about the seal hunt. Takes 2 seconds. And if you ever watched any of the footage of it it would probably make you cry - and my philosophy is if it makes you cry, do something about it (which is why I have been banned from watching nature programmes, and researching sad things on the internet. Our charitable donation fund cannot take it any more).

Wish me luck!

It's astounding, time is fleeting

So another week has passed and there's only 2 (TWO!) left before we leave the country. Everything is starting to feel a little bit surreal. Loads of admin left to do, and loads of folk left to see.

This weekend we went out with Stu's sister and her husband to The Wharf in Teddington. It was very very very nice indeed. They very generously treated us - on the condition that we return the favour once we were in Brisbane. "Oh No" I thought - "now we're going to have to spend a lot of time researching restaurants once we get there to make sure we take them to a nice one." Although that task might not be so much fun, as I have decided to try and give up meat (again) after our wedding anniversary (can't face the thought of a celebratory dinner without meat!). I'm sure I will lapse as I am a total carnivore, but hey I'll give it a whirl.

Sunday was a nice lunch out with my brother and the old folks for mothers day. I tell you what, leaving the country certainly seems to be preceded by an awful lot of eating and drinking. Even I am getting a little tired of it.

Have planned a few touristy jaunts out with the old lady this week which should be nice. Going to Harrods tomorrow, I don't think I've ever been so I am very excited. Although already stressing out about what to wear....
