We’ve been back for four months now. Four whole months.
It’s hard to believe we were ever living in Houston, Texas. It’s hard to imagine the pleasant warmth of the weather at this time of year. The Friday nights in Rice Village pubs. The queue at Torchy’s Taco’s. The walks along the bayou and in Hermann Park. Continue reading Post Script: Reflections now we’re home
Well, we’ve had a great time, a blast, an experience of a lifetime.
But now we’re homeward bound.
As I write we’re staying in a hotel for our last night in Houston – flying out tomorrow.
We took two amazing holidays in the USA recently – one taking in the most southerly point in the USA in Key West and the other travelling north west as far as we could go to Alaska. Continue reading Holidays
We’ve all got them. From the more serious political issues -Leave/Remain or Trump/Clinton to the more mundane – like how to clear out your phone memory of all that data quickly so you can take yet more selfies.
Oh stop it! I know what you’re thinking. I don’t mean that kind of ‘HAD’. Wheesht. I mean at one time, all at once, there were 10 Houston Fire Department First Responders in my house.
But more of that later… Continue reading I’ve had 10 Firemen in my house!
My sister-in-law and her husband came to Houston for a week’s holiday. We didn’t let the weather get in the way and in a week managed to give them a great holiday.
This is what Alex and Bob got up to on their trip and some ‘things to do’ while visiting Houston. Continue reading Six days in Houston TX
Or what I got up to in Aberdeen in March… Continue reading Six women and a dead cat….
A bush has just spoken to me!
Now those of you familiar with the strange things that happen while I am out walking on the hike and bike trail will think ‘so what’. Lonely lost pelicans, cyclists taking selfies while actually in motion, and frolicking bank managers are, after all, to be expected.
Disclaimer – sorry about the over simplification of the politics of a major super power. And profuse apologies to anyone offended by it. You are very easily offended I might add.
So to continue. The Democrats have two possible presidential candidates: Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The Republican Party1 have way too many and I really can’t be bothered with any of them – but Donald Trump is one along with Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jed Bush, John Kasich and nice man called Carson. There’s a rather fierce lady in there too and I think a few others but some have thankfully dropped out at last. I actually don’t know who has dropped out and by the time I publish this post another few may have gone.
First things first. Apologies to all my US friends for this post. But it had to be done. Your politics are a tad confusing for poor Brits who did not benefit from American History lessons at High School and years of exposure to your government’s idiosyncrasies.
Secondly, this is insultingly simple. Written by a simpleton for simple people.
Sorry, again.
