So for those of you who don't believe I have the cooking skills (thanks for the sarky comments) here's a picture of my fantastic turkey from last weekend.
School's Out For Christmas... Yipeeee. Booked a rental car for my trip home today. Hertz.
My bags are packed (almost) and I'm ready to go. Unfortunately it's only 8:30am and my flight's not till 2:45am so I have a long wait. See you soon.
Aha, they have free Internat access in Birmingham Central library so I'm checking in. The security guards are chasing some down and out up and down the escalators but apart from that it's quite peaceful here.
If Nick's reading this... I have got the four tickets for Steve Nallon tomorrow evening. See you at 7pm by the big wheel (Birmingham Eye?)
At last I have confirmed my flight home (on Emirates via Dubai). I'll arrive home on the 15th. Unfortunately the return flight includes an eight hour stopover in Dubai Airport (midnight to 8am).... not very good but I'll survive.
Tomorrow's the King's Birthday, a national holiday in Thailand.
I had lunch with the new British Ambassador to Thailand today (well, me and 30 other people). I only managed to say two words to him, "Hello" and "Goodbye".

What happens when you have
1) nothing to do
2) a sharp knife
3) a large lime
4) a patient cat
5) too much tequila
6) and it's football season?
Gout in the left elbow. A good start to the Christmas season eh?
Last Sunday I cooked Christmas dinner for visitors, this week I'm living off cold turkey (and it's only 9th!)
