It’s been a while …

It’s been a while since my last update … I seem to have been really busy outside of work without really doing that much!

The other night I headed to Bub’s Burgers in Carmel. This place was featured on Man Vs. Food where the show’s host attempted to eat FOUR of the Big Ugly Burgers … it’s a 22oz (pre cooked weight) burger; 1lb when served on your plate! It was a monster, but started quite well. I got through the first half in a little over 5 minutes but the remaining half must have taken me around 45 mins … it wasn’t even funny towards the end! But, the burger was finished and my photo is now up on the wall!! (until the New Year when they all get taken down)

The weather has also turned a bit recently, the mornings becoming much colder and daytime temperatures now as expected for this time of year. Last weekend I headed down to Fall Creek and had a walk around the reservoir trail, it was a fantastic day weather-wise and the trees/leaves were a great mixture of colours …

Today there was also an outbreak of rain that lasted under half an hour or so; was also accompanied by some thunder and lightning.

The area seems to be going crazy for Halloween which is something I need to get used to compared to the UK, but I’m armed with my boy scout popcorn to give away. I’ve also bought some pumpkins to decorate – I’m just trying to think of some clever things to try!

Of course, no good weekend would be complete without a great win for Arsenal. A 3-0 win made it a great start to the day.

I’m looking forward to the week ahead. We will be busy at work and then at the end of the week it’s my birthday; I’ll reach the grand old age of 25!

This week has also thrown up plenty of confusion between US and UK vocabulary. I think the day I don’t giggle when somebody says “pants” instead of “trousers” is the day that I can consider myself a grown-up …

Until next time. Have a good week!
