My ears is all colds

So some of you have asked that I should get my hair cut AND you wanted to see some before and after shots. thing is, I'm fugly and don't take a good HD photo, kinda look ok from a distance but up close, in HD....ARGGHH!

Anyhoo, my brother's fiancée is a mobile hairdresser, on the side. So while having a visit at my mum's, this happened......









Well, that's the result.

Time is Ticking down!

News! i'm returning to the States again, this year, for my Birthday in May!

That's right, Sam is going to have to put up with me in person once more - "Oh the Horror!" I hear her scream.

Its less than a month now and i'm gearing up to getting on a plan for what seems like a lifetime without a smoke! ill be there from the 8th May till the 29th May. A longer trip than last time so please show your support to the ever suffering Sam for this very trying period.

For those of you who are interested, here are my flight details;

May 8th - Flight UA0019 London Heathrow - New York Newark 08:40 - 12:00
May 8th - Flight UA4911 New York Newark - Albany Schenctady 13:32 - 14:40

and returning;

May 29th - Flight UA4900 Albany Schenctady - New York Newark 18:10 - 19:28
May 29th - Flight UA0008 New York Newark - London Heathrow 20:55 - 09:25 (30th May)

All times are Local Times.

So what's the plan?

Well, these need to be firmed up but the general ideas are;
10th May - 13th May to visit Cape Cod and especially Martha's Vineyard. Why Martha's Vineyard? well back in the late 70's a very important film was filmed there, one I am a huge fan of. All I need say is "Duuum Dum... Duuum dum, dum dum dum dum" etc etc and I think you know what I mean. In case that isnt quite enough information;


The week after we are having what we are calling, a 'lifestyle' week. Where I'll experience normal American life. Ok fine, That week Sam has to work a few days so we cant shoot around the State anywhere specific so we'll be doing things locally. 'Lifestyle week' sounded much better than 'Generally Bum around Albany week'.

May 19th - May 23rd we'll be In NYC - I get another bite of the big apple. Hopefully getting to see what I missed the last Time I was there. Hopefully also meeting up with some more friends too.

May 21st - This is my birthday. This year I'll be spending it in NYC! How cool is that?! So needless to say I may end up slipping $1 bills into some stripper's g-string that night *fingers crossed* here's to hoping! OR if Sam has anything to say about it... a quiet meal to celebrate my clocking up another year in a civilized and dignified manner.  She is my Moral compass!

I'm hoping to spend some More time with Nina while in New York and get a few drinks down our necks. We will then return to Albany and words have been aired towards a BBQ for Memorial Day on the 27th May, just before I leave on the 29th.

Once again, thankyou to My mother and Rob for 'volunteering' to look after my lil' black ninjas and the fish. Rest assured there will be a rota and a schedule composed.

With a list of things still to do and less than a month to go, keep your eye on this blog and feel free to post your little hearts out, it's better than a post card. See you soon!
