Home Sweet Home ?--Maybe

Just a completely strange feeling in the last 48 hours---after all that time in the USA , and then to be travelling home to the UK, was a kind of period where you are looking at yourself from somewhere else, almost like in slow motion even though it was a very easy process. I know that a lot of Californians don't think too much of LAX but it has always been pretty easy to me and this was no exception.

And to tpit all , we were on the Inaugural flight on BA of this----

This plane was definitely one of the quietest that I have been on--way quieter than the Jumbo jet but maybe that was because we were upstairs due to the seats being in Premium Economy---no further upgrades for us unfortunately but the flight was fine and we were met by our wonderful children Juliet and Jonathon with young Mr Jack in tow as well, so easy for us and got us home in good time.

Great to hear the Chelsea game at Spurtz and a good point there although from what I saw there was a case for us being damned unlucky, especially Torres who was ripping them apart but great to see Mata respond so well when he gets his opportunity .

So last night we had a quiet evening at home with our youngest -- charlotte - with a Thai takeaway which was good and a bit of Strictly and X factor--that is just so phoney---so back here good and proper and the only thing missing was our mate Chelsea the black cat--you just get home expecting to hear his meowing but we will miss him.

Good place if you like Thai and it is in Sutton.

 

There is no doubt that after 12 weeks of eating in restaurants either in or out hotels it will take some adjusting , more so for Lynda to start thinking about food shopping ad Cooking all over again.

 

A quick plug for Jamie Oliver---

 

who appears to have won his long running battle with McDonald's over their use of Ammonium Hydroxide as a "Wash " of the meat in the burgers---Would any parent stick their hands up to say they are happy to feed their children with meat made with Ammonium hydroxide in ----well good luck to him.

So Lynda took the afternoon to empty all the suitcases and get ready for the first washing as well as putting all the cases and summer clothes away.

 

So what today holds is dinner with the family at Craig and Juliets this afternoon and getting prepared for tomorrows trip down to Chippenham and see what the world has in store for me back at work---gonna be a bit strange.

 

I havnt finished with the blog by a mile as I said the last time and I want to do a complete review at everywhere and everything we have been and done on our trip. I plan to do a really extensive detailed resume of everything that we did but not today--Jetlag needs to be handled and I have to get out to get the cars sorted out---battery leads fixed to Lyndas--who by the way has a nice little dent in her front wing from some nice local person who didn't leave a note to say that they had done that.

 

Mine will feel real strange --- right hand drive as opposed to left in USA and manual shift instead of automatic---always a little strange for the first time after a trip.

 

Sunday morning with Saturday Kitchen--great.
