After a long trip ,made it to the midwest,and woke up to 4 inches of snow,Montana Mike has gone to Baltimore so I got the job of snow shifting on the drive,its a three car garage drive so a fair amount of snow to shift,as I came in after doing the job MM rang up from baltimore and on receipt of the news about my heroic effort with the snow said,"Tell him I am not paying him",but too late the invoice was already on his desk.
Last night I had a T bone from Mary Sue's Family farm,beautiful! farmer Joe would have enjoyed it,tonight weare going to the Big City of Kansas,maybe see some gunslingers around town!!
I have been reading Spike Milligans bible book and had tears rolling down my cheeks,(not laughter),I was remembering paying at the shop earlier, no seriously? it was hilarious,I have read most of his stuff but not this one,it was a bit difficult with the joined up writing though.
Wildlife Paragraph. spotted a fox track in the garden (it showed up well in the fresh snow) and also some bird I can't identify.
Poppy has returned after her escape and causing much angst among her friends and admirers,according to Gina she is unscathed after her two nights out on the town in Preston North End
We had some time to kill between flights at Orlando airport,and watched the local traffic warden moving people on at the drop off area,he was a little very old Indian(Taj Mahal India) armed with a whistle and lots of parking tickets,very officious and extravagant hand waving and pointing,I think he could be a tourist attraction,he amused us for an hour and all for free,one very large Mexican boke with heavy duty bling round his neck was moved on his way with only a whistle blast,and no sign of resistance,it was a David and Goliath scene.
It has been a revelation watching the chocolate eating prowess of Montana Mike,if he keeps this up he will be as big as our Herbert was,who at his heaviest weighed in at 22 stones American readers need to multiply that by 14 to give them his weight in pounds,European readers who can only do Kilos ,,tough!
Th sun is blazing down but its very chilly outside,luckily I have use of Sam the pom's football jacket,and I have to say I am becoming very attached to it,Sandra the pom has totally spoilt the dogs and they are now under a more strict regime,NO FACE LICKING IS ALLOWED,and I have possession of Sandra's chair.
If anyone reading this gets to see Ian the expat or his wife Doreen in Maltby le Marsh,we can't get the Sheffield derby on tv here but he knows who we are favouring,and of course MM is favouring The Blades.
Thats it from Graham way out west.
I hope they can maintain a sense of decorum in the Turks Head pub while the game is on.

glad to see you are both settled in there.The Kansas weather can be biting cold when it chooses to.

We have had heavy persistant rain with lots more to come.
Enjoy the Kansas hospitality,hope the snow doesn't last.
