So here is the thing --- having driven to Heathrow Airport to pick up my wife, who is just back from 2 weeks in Greece at our house there, when she get's in to the south London apartment and having embraced our youngest daughter, the pair of them proceed to go onto catch-up tv and watch some reality show called "the only way is Chelsea".
Now for the most part , anything that has the name Chelsea in is ok by me --well, like from the Mighty Blues, the Kings Road and of course our Cat called Chelsea - but what I watched was a bunch of pompous , overindulged, spoilt brats, with way too much money from Mama and Papa and with the in built ability to turn their noses up at anything that did not go to Eton.
Clearly it gets an audience but I am unsure that any of their peers would be watching this nonsense--that gives these particular morons their 15 minutes of fame of course-- and I wonder whether it isn't just the ordinary folk , working class, who like looking at what they perceive to be the real life of the rich and spoilt, but the reality really is that this minority just love to be in the limelight.
Anyway, one thing good is that my daughter has deciphered how to set up the blog so I will start to do that in the future--downloading photos from when we start the trip of the life time which starts in under two weeks--my god that is coming around so quickly. next week I am buying a digital camera, that can connect to this computer and to which I can immediately share photos of the trip---apparently I can even send an email with this new camera with the photos I take--that's bonkers.
Ah well, with all this technology , I really hope I can be proficient enough by the time we leave for the USA and if not at least enough so that I can put a few words down here to share, or at least to put then on here and if anyone has nothing better to do than to read our thoughts as we go around about 10 states and 12 to 13000 miles driving.
Ok , so bed now but Bar-b-q tomorrow with children with some warm temperatures to get a bit of a tan at the same time, all in readiness for the trip--well you cant go to the states in the summer looking
all pale and english, ----- cowboys were always tanned with leather skin--well I will get some of it right by the time we go.
nighty night
