Sidenote: we were at a local amusement park here in Southern California and two boys were kicking a duck that had waddled out of the pond. My husband went after them and the evil beasts cussed him out and ran away into the bushes and out of sight. We reported them, but I don't know if anything was done.

She loves architecture and the fact that I talk almost endlessly about history.<BR/>I laugh out so loud when I got to the 'little f****r' bit with the kid and spat my spicy sweet potato, chicken, mushroom and sweetcorn soup over my keyboard (yes it is homemade and was a casserole last night but the texture of sweet potato put me off. Enter one hand blender, stage right).<BR/><BR/>I hate that kids talk with little or no respect at times. I blame parents for letting them do it. A 'bat round the tab' usually does the trick. Anyway, the little shits should be up chimneys or down t'pit.<BR/>Nice blog Phil.<BR/>G.StGeorgeOfEnglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784670285839149788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576959142506128840.post-44666116119108165682009-04-07T19:54:00.000+01:002009-04-07T19:54:00.000+01:00Utterly jealous of your outing.
