I had a tuna pasta thing for lunch that came with this awesome fork. It folds up nicely for storage in the box, and then unfolds and the little square thing in the middle clicks on to make it sturdy. Genius!

Classic.

David took Tina and I to Hampton Court Palace today. I love it love it! ... Probably because its the only part of British history that I really know anything about and it makes me feel smart :) I didnt get a picture of it, but very close to the Palace is a pub named The Cardinal Wolsey! I must go there one day.

Tina and I went to Brighton (all by ourselves!) today. It was a bit longer travel time than I expected, and we got there a bit later than we had planned, but we had a some awesome cheesy garlic bread and fun with the arcade rides and games!

Tina is here to visit!! And look at all the goodies she brought me. Seriously a grown woman should not be this happy to see a box of Velveeta cheese. (Notice David in the background disgusted by this assortment... what does he know?)

Yay! Let the Christmas present wrapping begin!!

100/365

While cleaning today, we realized there are certain objects that are simply not cleaned often enough... (yes, I am seriously lame enough that this was super funny to me)

ALERT ALERT! Look what I found in Camberley!! I seriously gasped and dropped my purse to the floor to grab them off the shelf. Its like a scavenger hunt everytime I go shopping!

98/365

Ha ha! We went to Hardy's restaurant in Bagshot (the only "real" Mexican/TexMex restaurant around here) tonight and look at this... Pronunciation of fajita? Seriously?

And for the record: It was really very good. I will be back for sure!

97/365

Yes, we're watching more 3D television.... Good times.

Just in case you havent been one of the hundreds of people I have told about the wonderful 10 pound note. Imagine the uproar if Americans attempted to put Darwin on any goverment anything! Go Darwin.

Mirra's favourite place in the house = on the large laundry pile.

Its 3-D week on Channel 4! Tonight, we watched the Queen's Coronation in 3-D with our really cool glasses and pretended we were a hip couple.

Coming from Colorado, when I first walked by this store I didnt think much of it, but then I realized its extremely out of place in England. If you've been looking high and low for some cowboy boots, buckles, hats and shirts, here's your answer!

Sailor Steve sees serious need for improvement here...

I went to the doctor today and noticed this sign and it made me giggle. (Its an advertisment for a local gym)
In America, signs in doctor's offices would probably urge you not to drink at all, but look at the print in the black box: "Workout your weekly alcohol intake in the club, then work it off with a free 5 day pass". I love that they just assume everyone has a weekly alcohol intake! Good 'ol England.

I found this in my purse this morning as I was headed to work. Aww ... as Hugh says "love actually is all around"

89/365

Although it doesnt translate really well in this photo, it was eerily foggy this morning! (I know.. no big news for England, but its the best I got today)

88/365

I love my junk mail box at work. "Subject: Having a big penis is the most important of all male qualities"

86/365

We went back to Virgina Water today to take Mirra for a nice walk and finally saw the famous 100 foot totem pole that was apparently given to the Queen by British Columbia in 1958 to celebrate the BC's 100th birthday. Liz gets all the cool gifts!

85/365

A bit of confusion in the Camberley parking garage... One sign tells you to "pay and display" (your ticket showing you've paid to park), while the other one tells you to take your ticket with you... could they not have removed the old sign when putting up the new one!?

84/365: Mirra's First Night Out!

A dream came true tonight when we took Mirra to the Rose and Thistle for her first night out at the pub. In true Mirra fashion, she was unimpressed and slept for the majority of the night (which is good since I thought she would be pretty nervous)....

...but she even managed to capture the heart of one of Britain's finest...

83/365: Guy Fawkes Day

Today was Guy Fawkes Day where all the Brits celebrate the day when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament, with fireworks and bonfires. Guy failed and sadly, we failed too in our celebrations and did nothing at all. :(

I love this traffic light sytem used for marking food. I makes it so easy to see at a glance how healthy something is... this bag of chocolate covered raisins, with its 2 red lights, clearly isnt very healthy. Luckily they werent very good either, so I didnt eat very many.

81/365

I didn't take a picture today, but when I turned on my camera to look for others, I saw that David took this lovely one of a random woman on TV. Good enough!

We went to Virginia Water today, which is great for dogs since leash laws do not apply and everyone just lets their dogs run around. They were swimming in the lake, rolling in the leaves, chasing eachother and making me very nervous that they would get seperated from their owners! We tried to get Mirra to pose in front of the waterfall... this was easier said than done, however there was another dog there wh was very willing to jump in front of the camera everytime I pointed it at Mirra. Another lovely weekend day for the Hendersons x 3 :)
