Its the end of the world(blog) as we know it.

I've "finished" my 365 blog. Yes, very poorly, I do apologize. If you'd like to read my current blog, leave a comment or facebook or however else you know to contact me and I'll send you the link.

Mirra helping 'strike tent' (take down the tent for those who don't speak camping lingo like me).

We went to the Isle of Wight today for a night of camping. Yes, it's true I went camping! Now camping in the woods is one thing and I am still anti that, but camping just a few paces from the beach is ok! One thing I learned about tents, though that still grosses me out is that when the tent gets warm (either from the sun heating it up or when people are inside it, it develops condensation on the INSIDE of the tent which means that when I would touch it, it would be wet and my blanket touching it would be wet!! Ew ew ew. Apparently this only happens on cheap tents (read: David's tent) which don't have special flaps and layers to keep this from happening, so if there was a tent upgrade I would be willing to try it again.

A new hiding place for Callie. Remind me to wash that bowl before use.

We had a picnic on the beach at Southsea complete with special 4th of July Mountain Dew. Yum yum. Today I learned that if you feed one bird some Doritos, you will soon be in a situation very similar to Hitchcocks 'The Birds'. I don't advise it.

Happy 4th of July (one day early)!

Callie chasing bugs in the back yard. I've bravely let her go outside on her own and she's doing very well coming back when called and not straying far. Good girl, Callie.

This is what happens when you drink 10 glasses of champagne (and then some) at a wedding.

Look look! It's a strawberry grown by me!!

Dinner of champions. Kraft mac and cheese and canned vodka/cranberry. Yum yum. David had his first taste of the blue box goodness and isn't quite sold, but did take a second bite, so theres hope for him yet.

OMG. Ew. This THING, whatever he is, was on my shirt hanging on the clothes line. I told you clothes lines were a bad idea!

David and I went to Royal Ascot today! We got dressed up...



Saw The Queen....


and even won some money!

David brought me Chipotle from London for lunch! He DOES love me!
The verdict: Very good!! The differences: the tortilla seems to be wheat instead of white, the rice is brown rice with no cilantro, the corn salsa is not as flavourful, but there was a good spicy kick in the verde salsa. Yum yum! Oh, and the majority of the staff have been relocated from Colorado. I think I should make a Chipotle employee friend, dont you??

To further celebrate David's birthday we went to a pub in Chelsea to watch the US v England World Cup game. It ended in a 1-1 tie er.. draw in soccer/football terms, which is probably best for all involved!

Happy Birthday to David!
As the World Cup is upon us (US v England tomorrow!) his mom bought him a soccer cake and I got some of of those candles that are supposed to sparkle, but they werent very sparkly in the end. And they were fairly easy to blow out... wheres the fun in that?

We're almost growing strawberries!! C'mon little strawberries - you can do it!

I found a slug in one of our milk bottles at work. I didnt know what the milk man would do to him, so hid the bottle in the bushes so he could make his slow escape. I'll have to check him tomorrow to see if he's found a new hang out.

Beautiful St. Michael's Mount.
