….this is our last few days in Stafford and it’s been great having a place to call home. Brian’s been fantastic and we will be sad to leave in some ways, it’s been fun. A funny conversation we had the other night was about ‘accents’. Rod and I had experienced some conversations between locals during the day that we could not make head nor tail of “know wad I meen?” (That is the only bit we sometimes understand, it is used as punctuation!). Anyway Brian stated out of the blue “yeah! well of course people from the Midlands don’t have an accent…well some might have a bit, but I certainly don’t, know wad I meen?!” Now, those of you who know Brian will agree “Yeah right!!!!! ” So then we said “nah! we are the ones without an accent” (I’m sure you’ll agree?). Brian said….”You’ve got shocking accents!” What the hell is he talking about……………????
We have put all our energy this week into buying a car….we seem to have more energy than the people selling it because we still haven’t got it!!! Maybe today will be the day?
Start work towards the end of next week in Essex – I don’t think it’s ‘googleable’ because our employers are very onto it but not into ICT.
We may disappear into a black hole until we get our broadband up and running. The incumbent has it but we have to get our own. We are looking forward to finding out what is in the bottoms of our suitcases (funny how you never go below the third layer!)..it’s been great wearing jeans and a black (doesn’t show the dirt) top for 3 months!
Love you and miss you heaps xxxxxxxxxxxx
