postcard #2...

today i awoke to no rain..."yipee"

i said to myself this is the perfect day to show some british birds

my talents...so i took myself over to the park and got a couple of local lads to join in a game of soccer (known as football on this island)

before i showed these lads how the game was played, i removed my rather attractive 70's crocheted kipper tie that i had scored at the thift store yesterday (known as a charity shop...i am learning lots of the local terminology and am beginning to blend in quite well)

i played my pesky little heart out as goalie...but was completely unappreciated when my team lost by 67 to 3, the lads blamed me, told me i was a load of rubbish and then left for the pub without asking me to join them...sniff, worst still not a single chick walked past to see my impressive goalie skills...

postcard #1...

i have now recovered from having my bits poked around by security and then spending hours waiting on the tarmac at Heathrow...YES!! i am on british soil.

my first port of call was the pub (i 'swam' around a bit and found a likely looking one)...after several beers i was starting to feel lucky, after all who could resist a pesky gnome.

as i looked around for a bit of action, two things were quite noticeable, first no one actually seemed to be in the pub, they were all outside having a 'smoke' (due to the clean air rules) and secondly lady gnomes are very thin on the ground...i have now set myself a mission of finding myself a 'sweet young british lassy' gnome to have a summer fling with...

hoping he gets lucky soon ~ a pesky gnome

greetings from a pesky gnome...

"ah ha!! i have managed to find my way into Tif's luggage...and will be reporting along the way with travel updates and photos of my charming self in bonny England...stay tuned for coverage of me in far flung places...."

"oi, what do you think you are doing in there? who put this pesky gnome in my hand luggage?"

"nooo, please let me come with you...."

" well you better behave yourself...'cause you look kind of pesky to me, which could spell trouble"

" i promise...tee hee"
