Oh Bollocks!!

I just posted the pics and was about to start typing todays bit of tat whilst enjoying a glass of red, when I had a senior moment and knocked the said glass of red all over my laptop!  I am seriously pissed off, I think I have killed her.  She made some horrible noises then nothing and she has just come back from major surgery care of Elaine's brother Trevor. 

I fear this time there is no coming back.  What a way to go ... drowned in red wine!

So now I am using Elaine's laptop with the glass of red at the other end of the van!  The trouble is her laptop is a piece of crap and not user friendly.

Back to today, I took the dogs for a walk around the Crystal Palace park this morning and took a pic of a poster.  It looks like they want to rebuild the palace, now that would be really cool.

We left the dogs in the van and caught the No 3 bus from outside the Caravan park entrance.  The bus went direct to Oxford Circus.  We had to leave the doggies behind as they weren't allowed into an exhibition we were going to in Olympia.  They don't mind, they sleep all day and it is cool in the van.

We sat at the front on the top deck and got some pics of the usual sights ...






It was a lovely day and reached the heady heights of 20 degrees!

The exhibition we attended was 'A Place in The Sun'.  We went to one before at the NEC so we were covering old ground, but still came away with some good info.

The highlight of the day was meeting up with the gorgeous Jasmine Harman, who is one of the presenters of the show ...

We met her later and had a one-on-one chat with her. We told her our story as in ... leaving Sydney, living on a boat for two years and now having a motorhome to look for a place in the sun. Her response ... "Shut-up" !!!  She thought we were mad to leave Sydney but did give us some ideas on places in Spain.  She also said that we should go on the show ... she reckoned we were exactly what they wanted on the show and wanted us to do a screen test there and then.  We were flattered but we are not ready for that yet!

We came back to the boat via the No3 bus, grabbed the dogs and walked to a local pub.  We got  to the pub about 18.30 where a 'Yummy Mummy' mother's day party was finishing up with the adults pissed and little Amelia, Harry, Daisy and Sebastian trashing the place.  I would have birched the bloody lot of them ... Angry of Mayfair xx
