Went to a Corrie ping today and won an apron in the raffle. It's got a big Hilda Ogden face on it! It's a vinyl coating so i won't get so dirty! I can be quite messy in the kitchen!

40 sleeps until touch down! Just waiting on confirmation of the rental car. I booked an automatic so i could help with some of the driving but they haven't confirmed availability yet. Hopefully that will come tomorrow as the first business day after i'd booked it. G. says he doesnt' mind driving and indeed, likes to drive but i thought i would do some and i wouldn't be brave enough to master the manual shift and drive on the opposite side of the road to what i'm used to. I can drive a shift but i haven't in over 25 years.

2011 tea tasting
Jumpy Monkey was today's try out. it's roasted maté which is apparently a South American rainforest type product and it also has some roasted coffee beans added though it doesn't taste coffee-like. It's also got almond, white chocolate, cloves, other bark and roots! Sounds dreadful doesn't it? It's not though it's not wow either.
