Went for a walk again this morning - its 80 degrees here today, so I thought it would be a bit silly to stay indoors all day. Its hard to believe that its January at the moment and in a couple of weeks I'll be on the ski slopes of Colorado. Anyway this is a picture of one of the lakes on the complex. This is just by my mail box, and not far from the pool.
This next picture is at the front of the apartment complex, just as you turn in off the road.
This next picture is of the Londoner Pub and Restaurant. This is 20 minutes walk away from my apartment, and it serves Guinness - its just not the same though! The pints glasses fall just a bit short of a proper pint, and sometimes the bar staff piss me off. They sometimes show football in here too, so I make sure Im well away from it when thats on. Was waiting for my boss in here one evening, throwing a few darts, when this English twat tried to start a conversation with me. Turns out he was from Grimsby - doesn't matter where you are in the world, you can smell a northern shithead a mile off! I told him to piss off in the end, so he went off trying to impress some unsuspecting Yank about how cool Grimsby was. If you look closely in the background, you can see the token red telephone box!
Here's a couple of pics of the off licence! I ended up buying a box of Heineken today - well it is warm, and I needed something to quench the thirst...
Seems they even sell lottery tickets here...I wonder if I'd be able to enter - what with being a johnny foreigner and all?
Oh, before I forget - Wal-Mart was in the news last night. Seems they are in trouble for some error on their DVD rental site. If you ask for a list of 'Films Featuring African Americans' you get 'The Planet of the Apes' returned! Oooops! If I find the link, ill post it
