I’ve been a bit lazy updating my blog…but I have an excuse, I’m in Seattle again - and the travel thing takes up so much time. Today I’m in a really good mood despite the fact I’ve hurt my back, maybe its the painkillers! I thought I’d just let you know some of the stuff I miss about being in the US:

• Proper TV - I quite like some American TV, but commercials every 2 minutes drive me insane - as well as “travel and weather on the 4’s” and “closed captioning is bought to you in part by…”
• Reasonably sized cars - most car parks have spaces marked as “compact”, these ones are best suited to parking a car the size of a huge audi in the UK, every car seems to be twice as big as the UK.
• My beautiful language - I think it was Oscar Wilde who said that America and England were two countries seperated by the same language - I really miss hearing the right words, and reading the correct spellings.
• Portion Control - I like my food - no surprise there, but only in this country can I order a steak the size of my head.
