What A Goal!!

Is this the best goal ever or what? Make sure you watch it right to the end, there's something dodgy about the goalscorer...

The Final Night

Last night was the final night out in the UK.
I went round to Rob and Emma's house and took with me a bottle of rum mixed with whisky and coke. I weeded their garden during the day for them so was rewarded with a glass of finest Country Manor wine!
Then we headed into L2 for the night.
Afterwards I had to have my final donner kebab, mmmmm. Unfortunately, my tubby stalker saw me and proceeded to grab my arm and not let go of me. Then she started begging me not to leave her. I swear she is mental.

You can see up our noses!

Why is Simpson trying to look like Beckham did a couple of years ago?

We're not drunk, honest!

London Trip

So we went to London yesterday to get my visa sorted. Left the house at half four in the morning and somehow managed to get to London at 9am. Then we got the tube to the Korean Embassy where the nice lady told me I would get my passport back on Wednesday.
After that we did some sightseeing and took photos to show the children in Korea. As you can see, the weather wasn't great!

Then we did a bit of shopping and came back home. What a lot to do in one day!!

Korean Money
