"I'm Knackered!.."

So in case you hadn't worked it out, I tend to write my bogs the morning after, yet theme them as if it was written that day, mostly. This is because by the time we get home, we are usually pretty tired or maybe a little tipsy. Today (or yesterday) is (was) one of those days. Except not because we were running about from here to there and everywhere.
The last few days of action packed adventure has finally taken it's toll. So today was a rather slow relaxing day. We spent the morning relaxing and watching videos, resting our aching bones and joints. In the afternoon, we were invited to another friend of Sam's for dinner. Another trip into suburbia and yet another huge house with wooded land, it somehow seems to be the norm here. They were a great bunch of people also a different type of people; a mechanic, former navy and construction manager and extremely friendly. We talked about cars and felt a little ashamed to admit my first car had less literage than their average moped but when I explained it was an original Mini, it was then somehow, Retro-English.
Dinner was great and I think a few people will be interested to hear that I may have over come my 'phobia' of Lasagne!
On the way home, we called into the Olde English Pub in a hope that we may wake up and get our second wind. After not managing to finish my second pint I think we gave that up as a loss and went home for a movie and an early restful night.
Not a long post today, not much to tell but next week the New York adventure really begins and I think we were experiencing the calm before the storm.

Before I go, I heard this song on the radio the other day and it seems very appropriate for my trip...

Kaiser Chiefs - Oh my God
