i have so much i want to say and nowhere to start.
cripes!
we went to 'club evergreen' yesterday to go swimming and check it out. its about 5 miles out of the city and off the main road so it was nice and quiet, which was a welcomed break. when i went back to england at christmas it is amazing just how quiet everything is, mainly because of double glazed windows but also because people change the oil in the cars so they dont make this horrible grumbling sound that i have come to accept but loath in a simliar way that people accept dentists but secretly plot to kill them in their sleep. so it was nice to relax by the pool and chill out in an aircon room and watch some of the rugby on the telly...
...speaking of rugby, what a great game the other night. england played a scorcher against france, which i must say was very pleasing to me. i went down to the gym bar (a big sports bar with projector screens filling the whole wall) with chris to watch the game and the place was full of frenchies all with flags and silly wigs and all the other things you wear to protect the illusion that your team will only win if you wear this stupid thing on your head. needless to say i wasnt wearing a wig, that all ended at euro 96 for me, and we won, so a big finger to the french.
on a slightly more sane note, everything here is going well. it is getting very hot and i have reverted back to shorts, not because my knees are particularly impressive, although i really believe they are, but because if i didnt then i could easily fuel the mekong river with all the perspiring going on under my trousers....i hope you like my attention to detail.
as some people have recently pointed out, upon reading my blogs, that it would seem i am going mad. i must say whole heartedly that i am not mad but verging on a state of mind that is not too dissimilar to that occupied by basil faulty.

Benji, either you've been reading old posts on my blog or we have a strange psychic link - I posted a very similar 'fears' thing a year or so ago.

I have just discovered that the administrator at Church has fear of Pommegranites.
That has been great fun and tasty too...

I think I have a fear of British accents...they seem to haunt my nightmares. Also a completely rational fear of elderly naked women in saunas...
About the mushrooms, I thought of you yesterday when someone put a bowl of raw ones on the table and I thought:
1) Ben would die.
2) This is why I live in my own flat...so I don't have to eat what's put before me.
3) Ben is probably even right now trying to convince someone that he has a mushroom allergy.
I *still* tell people about the woman with a beard at the Feasts...
Childhood fear: Being eaten by a shark whilst in a swimming pool.
Current fears: Spiders, waking up and realising I'm married to Russell Brand, man he's annoying. Amost as annoying as Pink's music. I've just managed to wind myself up thinking of them.
Take care now.
I'm scared of monsters under the bed to this very day! Watching the film 'Monsters Inc' did NOT do me any favours! Also, a fire in my bedroom, the toilet coming alive and swallowing me up and insanity. Ta ta
