Its cold!
I know I cannot complain as it has been a really warm and gobsmackingly gorgeus November.
Sir L is in the UK!
I have cranked the heating up, wrapped my mums cosy sweater round myself and am about to indulge in a hot cuppa & chomp away at Sir L's last bag of Midget Gems which will give me great satisfaction!
I know I am bad!

The Graham Norton Show
Oh last night I laughed & laughed so hard I nearly wet the bed! It felt so good the laughing (not nearly having an accident!
Sir L & I were watching "The Graham Norton Show" on BBC America. He hosts a chat show and is extremely funny bouncing off his guests & having everyone in stitches. To make it even funnier his guests were Dawn French who I adore, Rod Stewart who has a cracking sense of humour & Michael Palin who brings everything down to lavatory level in a funny way.
Dawn French is snogging her way around the world looking for the best kisser....you rock girl! SHe says her hubby Lenny Henry is still the best which of course gets every male going as they al have such a big ego! Rod Stewart was confessing how he would dress up as an airline pilot and pose at Heathrow Airport to pick up women. He also got thrown out of a hotel in the states as he & his band wrecked the joint then had the nerve to go back the following year & sign in as Fleetwood Mack! Michaal Palin was in deep discussion regarding colonoscopie's.
Oh I do miss the British humour of quick funny comments that always seem to head towards the dirt or loo's!
So if you are feeling homesick watch this on a Saturday night at 10pm Eastern time. It really is worth it! Of course there are people out there who actually have a social life on a Saturday night...lucky sods!

Football Champions
I have just been to our schools football championship which has left me rather confused.
I had the game explained to me a few times yet I am still none the wiser.
Never mind.
The atmosphere was intoxicating, the crowds were a roaring and there was a great feeling of the community all coming together.
Even the younger children succumbed to the excitement by running around and sliding on the hills getting covered in green grass stains.
Well the good news is that we won & are now the local champions. I do wonder how many people knew what the heck was going on or was I the only ignorant one?
I have to admit that the boys looked good in their outfits and played to the audience getting everyone revved up.
So well done lads!

Things to be grateful for or relieved about!
This is not just the "norm" my family etc really things that you have to dig deep to find.
1. Watching my washing blowing on the washing line gives me a good feeling. Is it due to my heritage as it is very Eglish, the delicious scent on your bedding or the being eco friendly? I guess it is all of them.
2. The relief when you feel a little down, brew a cupof tea, look for some chocolate and are dissapointed and then as you shut the door you spy a corner of your favourite wrapper...relief! It was just hiding!
3. Hearing your cellphone go and not being able to find it until th last ring & you manage to grab the call in the nick of time.
4. So grateful that it is November and it is still warm enough to just wear a fleece outside!
5. Looking for a clean tisue in your pocket or bag as your nose is abou to drop a dollop & finding the last tissue in the packet.

Sulking & sacrifice!
As you can see my bottmom lip is still sticking out a mile!
Not only is Sir L going to the UK over Thanksgiving when he gets back for a couple of days he is then off to Japan for a week! WTF?
Sometimes the sacrifices that a mother makes are just too huge. Sir L's job often entails travelling all over the world at the last minute. I have always worked part time since we have had children so that the family life contnues as we have no family support for sick kids, emergencies etc except for a few good friends.
Due to living in such a beautiful yet rural area jobs are few & far beween so my job expectations have dropped dramatically since living here. In the UK I was a buyer for a leasing company with tons of perks. Since living in the USA I have done daycare, taught at preschool, cleaned houses, waitressed and worked in a call center.... all menial jobs. Now all 3 kids are in school full time I was hoping to re-join the career market but oh no there is a recesssion which is making it a slow process. For example there were 4 jobs listed in the paper today..2 for nurses, 1 for a carpenter and one for snow removal help!!!!
So whilst Sir L hits the airports and restaurants around the world I will be taxing the crew around NH!
So my bottom lip is pertruding, life is unfair & I just maybe I am a little hormonal!

LIFE IS UNFAIR!
So, Sir L has been requested to go to the UK for a week leaving asap. This happens all the time which is no big deal as it can be anywhere in the world, however when it is returning to the homeland & Daffodilly is feeling rather homesick its not fair. To make it worse he is going to my hometown to work.
I have been googling flights but alas at $760 each we cannot go with him so LIFE IS UNFAIR!
