Hi everyone, hope your are all well.<br /><br />Have been busy over the last few days so haven&#39;t had time to post. I see you are all gearing up for thanksgiving. I will have to admit my ignorance of what its all about but I gather from the posts that families all try to get together for this day.<br /><br />Kaths doing very well on her diet and hasn&#39;t succumbed to any solid food at all since she started it on Monday morning. On the other hand she is starting to get very grouchy. We wont be going out tonight as she can only drink water. You can imagine the looks I would get from her if I had got my pint while she sipped her water. Isnt it strange that when you are on a diet every TV commercial is advertising food. We went to an out of town mall the other day and all you could smell was the food from various stalls wafting around, Kath was not amused. There is a large German xmas market in Birmingham for the whole of November and December with lots of xmas goodies. I would have liked to go this afternoon, I love the steins of German beer, the mulled wine and loads and loads of bratwurst and sourkraut. However I am going to have to leave it for a few weeks until Kath has started to eat some real food.<br /><br />On the duct tape, I dont leave home without it either especially at camping vacation time.<br /><br />Kath has just telephoned me (I am at work again) to let me know that my cruisecrazy lapel pin has arrived, do you think that this may be the only one in the UK .<br /><br />Take care all
