It's the Polite Thing To Do....

So Annette and I stayed at a hotel on the last night to avoid having to get up way beyond the crack of dawn for her to make her flight. The hotel was nice, near the airport, etc... Looking around we came across the usual signs to post outside the door, do not disturb, etc... we also came across one we found amusing.
Apparently in Great Britain it is considered rude to run out into the corridor and shout fire, instead the "proper English" thing to do is to hang this sign outside of your door and wait for help to arrive.








Only joking, we read the back and it said that guests should hang this sign outside the door if assistance is needed. But honestly its a fireman with a hosepipe, our explanation is so much better and far more amusing. :)

When Idaho Conquered England

My childhood friend Annette came and spent the week in England with me. While she was here we did a whirlwind trip to see as many sights as possible in 6 days. We did London, Canterbury, Whitstable, Dover Castle, Windsor, Stonehenge, Lacock and Bath. Not bad I'd say. It was a lot of fun and I got to see things I had already seen before as well as new things. Here are a few pics of what we did and saw.

Ages and Ages

Gosh I feel as if it has been ages since I posted anything and seeing as the last blog was dated 21/8/09 I'd say it has been a long time. A lot has happened since my last posting. I wrote and turned in a dissertation, I moved to a new house in Wincheap with my flatmate Jenna. We also have another housemate Daphne. Over the past month we have had a variety of guests stay with us. Neil was the couch crasher that we rarely ever saw. Shenah stayed with us for a week, then Armando and Heather came to stay for a few weeks. It was nice having so many people in the house and now that it is just the three of us again (Jenna, Daphne and I) it feels a bit strange. While Heather and Armando were here they went through all their things and boxed up a lot of things to be shipped to America including a few things that didn't belong in bags or boxes.... That crazy Armando, just look at what he started packing!
