The naughty fairies that are surrounding me are getting worse!!! REALLY they are.
So…I had to put a lock on my phone so I would not pocket dial anyone anymore. It was getting a total nightmare. So I put a REALLY easy passcode ( so I will remember it...) makes NO DIFFERENCE. REALLY no DIFFERENCE!
Over the Christmas period I was a bit more of a witch … well more so than normal! REALLY … So I was having a moment where I decided I was going be a witch (well did not think it...I was being a witch) I was bit louder than I normally would,not that would have mattered. I look down and I see that I had called somebody…Oh yeah…I REALLY had! So much for phone locks
The call was not a 3 or 4 second call but over 2 minutes and was still going….OH NO!!!!
So I re-call the person and explained what I had done and I was sorry…She was like no problem it must be on my answer phone …She said I will just delete it…Man she is good…I would have listened to it!..So that night at dinner, she says all gone….no worries…Her husbands says I wanted to listen to it but she said no…just delete…..Wow she is awesome!!!…I cant promise after I had listened it would not be on YouTube…… Well anyway I am so much more aware of my phone being OFF now…Well those naught fairies are still pocket dialing…absolute nightmare!!!!
Well…not only that but…I made custard one day..never had time to make it from scratch so I made the stuff from the time… You know 2 tablespoons of custard powder, sugar and milk…Well I made it when we had people over and Mr and Mrs Bubbles commented on the color of it…Almost white…As we all know custard should be yellow. Well next day same custard powder made yellow custard
Well this week…I had had a large lunch and when it came to dinner time, I knew I would not eat what G and J were eating so I decided I wanted custard for my dinner…Yes I did type custard…Well I made it and it was white…then I made some more from the same tin and it came out yellow…no idea what those naughty fairies are doing but it's confusing me… Don't get started on what they are doing to the seems on my clothes while I am sleeping…It must be the fairies cause there was no problem before christmas…REALLY they where…
So The new curry place by us is proving a little problem…. G and J want to eat there ALL the time!
Whenever a call is placed, our order does not need to be finished…he knows what we order, he no longer asks which level of spice…he no longer waits for us to finish our ordering…he tells us!!!! So I REALLY think the we could be on 1st name basis soon.
Going to have a go at making my own sausage meat this week….well I made my own Italian sausage…well I flavoured some ground meat. (the secret…dont tell anyone…Fennel and red wine vinegar..REALLY)
Today I made sausage rolls and I decided that i need to make my own sausage meat, because I am getting fed up of finding something one minute and not finding it in the stores the next…
We have decided on Canada for our summer holiday/Vacation…East coast…cant wait…never been in the summer, Hockey Hall of Fame is a must and hoping to get a picture of J sat behind the goalies pads, 12 years on.
G is playing football tomorrow…I have found a nice little place at the club where I can see outside, read my book and stay inside in the warm….All I need now is binconulars to see that far away…Then I can pretend that I have watched the game!
My Expat view of my daily/family life With a bit of whining and moaning thrown in for good measure!

So this morning, I noticed that I had a little red wine left in a bottle. I remembered an email that Shutterbug had sent Delia v's Martha. Delia suggested pouring left over wine into ice cube trays and freezing…Martha was like 'What left over wine?' I was like who has the space for ice cube trays full of wine…My luck the wine would spill out over the frozen pizzas! Then when people come over and I have no wine in the fridge I can tell them if they want they can lick the pizza box!!!!
The contagious Jet lag has not left. I had a lovely afternoon nap and missed most of my TV show….ARGGHHHH no idea when it will be repeated
For example J was watching a TV show yesterday season 3 episode 2, today season 2 episode 8….I mean REALLY???? any need….
G has started play with the Mac, telling me that it does this or does that, like I will remember all that.Like I remember how to find those things.
I mean will I ever need really need the thing with the Guitar? Will I ever need the robot thing? guess I won't…but you never know.
I am now the proud owner of a japanese looking lady dish scrubbing brush it is soooo cool...I LOVE it. I seen them before christmas, the other one I seen had an afro. They are so funky…love them. Thank you Mrs. H it is awesome! The funning part is Mrs. H never bought it in Japan...lol
I am also the proud owner of a pair of cloud shoes...LOVE them. These shoes fold in half and you place then in their own special little bag and pop them in your handbag!!! How cool is that?
Just have to make sure my feet don't start smelling or or otherwise my handbag will stink every time I open it! Mrs. Bubbles got everyone started with the shoes....Can't say where I got them from, not cause I don't want to but I don't have a blog name for them.
Seems that there is mention of a little bit of a snow fall, I got excited. Then I remember the amount of a normal snow fall in our area….Well we might be able to make at least one snow ball.

So.....Why would you walk or run on a path/sidewalk when you have a road instead...No need to worry about the cars on the same road as you. No need to worry about cars coming around corners..Because you would have to be SPECIAL to think that this is normal...I mean REALLY? Any need.....People are just not right...I mean the fact that at least 4 people could walk side by side along the path ways...why would you want that when you can walk on a road that can have 2 cars...plus you...Rolling my eyes!!!
Started watching 3 new shows...loving them all, problem is I am now so used to watching TV shows by the box set, it's killing me to wait for the weekly episode.
Tried a few new recipes...all seem a big hit... not sure if its my cooking or they are desperate to eat something different...I like to think it was the first option, but I know its more likely to be the second....I can dream it's my amazing cooking talent that has them finishing whats on their plates.
I normally have a load of ideas to start the new term...Things for me to do...My main plans so far is sleep....even though we stayed here for christmas, I am convinced that I have caught other peoples jet lag. I am finding it hard to keep my eyes open past mid day.
Today I had to set my alarm so I did not sleep through school pick up.....I actually managed to wake before the alarm...REALLY I did...go me!
Saturday night a few of us went out to a nice little place close by. Table was booked for 8 o'clock. We arrived with Mr. and Mrs. Bubbles. The manager/owner came out of the place and tells us we are too early and we need to come back in 5/10 minutes. Then were told we can sit outside and have a drink...hummm 5 degrees...REALLY...So then they bring out this bucket which has hot coals in and was lovely and warm...bit upset to leave it and have to go inside.
After the meal, 3 of the guys went outside and looked up and found a bar. they checked it out and off we went to join them.
The one person inside apart from our group was the guy behind the bar. A Japanese Rastafarian with two small TV's playing Soul Train videos...There was a VIP area which consisted of a sofa with a kinda curtain with a wooden. The place was awesome. I thought everything closed at 10 in Yokohama...This place opened at 9pm and closed at 5am it was awesome...people wearing white suddenly light up with the florescent lights. The old style, home version of a disco lamp with the multi colored lights was so being called back to the 80's...basically the place was awesome...but I REALLY DON"T want to see it in board day light....REALLY I don't
I want snow...I want to live where there is snow...but I also want a nice lamb stew...but thats not going to happen either...
So I will settle for my ice box house, freezing cold toes and a bowl of corn flakes!
