things I learnt on my holiday

[lemonbella]

1. I spend more than the average amount of time in my pyjamas

2. My friends are apparently quite disturbed by me.

3. I find the thought of monkeys in ponchos so funny it gives me a headache. It is now my designated happy place.

4. I apparently turn very easily into a Packing and Leaving On Time Nazi (given enough Amarreto coffee beans and too little sleep.) I do apologise everyone.

5. It is possible to eat too much take-away food.

6. Not everyone enjoys Smallville as much as me.

7. Not everyone enjoys rock pools as much as me.

8. I should pay attention to strange grinding noises in my car *before* I travel 700 miles on holiday.

9. Welsh police are rude and insulting to cars.

10. Trying to have conversations about comics in front of non-comic people only leads to strange looks.

11. I know more about Aber weather phenomena than people who lived there for three years ("It'll stop soon")

12. I am easily pursuaded to like steam trains.

13. It is possible to watch too much gymnastics.

14. All beautiful men should be forced to wear dungarees and shovel coal.

15. My conversations need to be censored for appropriate content.

16. According to extensive research by heatherbelles puddles are cold.

17. indian_skimmer and I will watch Smallville until we cannot keep our eyes open any longer.

16. Fringedwellers would make the most ineffectual invasionary force. ("ooh those stairs are very steep", "hang on I need my coat", "don't look down", "I'll catch up, I need the toilet")

I had a fabulous time, and am not thinking about the fact my car had died.

1. Is there a national average for pyjama wearing time? I would have spent more time in my nightie if it wasn't very thin, and cold.

2. Not so much, really

3. Mexican Walruses are funnier

4. But it meant I caught my train, so I don't really mind

5. It is. I am going to be put off chips for the next week

6. Not everyone else has your excellent taste

7. See above

8. Actually, I agree with this one

9. "But it's the newest car I've *ever* had!". And they shouldn't be allowed to stop people just because they have nothing better to do

10. Only when you're talking about someone's Dick

11. It did stop. Just a little later than we thought

12. Steam trains are interesting. You're discovering a whole new world

13. It really is

14. The nubile young man at Abergynolwen would have looked good in anything, the dungarees were just an enhancement

15. There will definitely be a box next time. We can open it when we're alone.

16. Welsh puddles are cold, perhaps she will have to step in a variety of others to be sure about *all* puddles

17. I can watch Smallville until I've fallen asleep completely. That way you wake up to Clark and Lex in the morning

18. We would however be excellent defenders of castles, if we remember to buy eggs first

I'll add eggs to the checklist for next year.

Welsh puddles are indeed cold. I'll let you know about the rest.

I described the poncho-wearing monkey to my mother, who giggled. I think its an universally funny image.
