A brief easter update
"This is your driver speaking. We are now approaching the Essex border and may experience some turbulence".
"Be on particular lookout for a horde of cloned 16-20 year old Essex girls competing in the world-famous burping contest - classy, I'm sure you'll agree".
"Other local attractions include the MC'ing contest from the discernible young gentlemen in burberry. The two events have been coordinated especially for your viewing/listening (don't delete because both are appropriate) pleasure".
"Upon alighting from this tour of local wildlife, please proceed to the ticket gate where one of our many men and women in police uniform will search you for any offending items of people destruction".
"We are now approaching Southend Victoria, in view of personal safety, please do not antagonise* the herd migrating towards the mating grounds outside of their complex known only as ODEAN".
"Have a nice Chavster and we hope to see you again on the journey back"**
*By antagonise we mean: Staring, sitting, standing, hearing, smelling and breathing this is BY NO MEANS an exhaustable list...
**Subject to the same conditions as this journey.
It was however, nice to see the parents and Adrianna. A lovely Italian restaurant beckoned and much nummy food was consumed at a rate that wasn't.quite.human.
I sat around playing games with Adrianna and was suitably impressed upon playing hide-and-seek that she got (amongst others) Chandelier, white-board and captain (within a painting on the wall!). I also got to see her spelling achievements which are INSANE!!! She can spell acknowledgment, responsibility and curriculum - she is only 6 years old!
I also got to see her newspaper clippings (She has been in the local paper 3 times since Christmas). She won the young actor award nominated by the major theatre in Southend, as well as a regional spelling contest and student of the year (for her school - seen to be the best primary/secondary preparatory school in Southend).
She has also been shortlisted (last ten) for a place in the sound of music theatre production in London! - there have been around 3000 applicants countrywide...
Soooo proud.
Anyhoo, enough big brother comments from me, off to town I go!
I will see the majority of you at chains this Friday?
