Still Lucky Still LaLa

I just realised that I haven't written a Blog since May of last year!! I don't want to presume that anyone has noticed this, or is in fact missing my blogs however if anyone out there has noticed I bet you are thinking it is because I am all happy, settled down and that La La Land has become my new normal, so therefore there is nothing to report. To you, I say 'Hahahahahahahahahaha'

An update and then more to come soon, I promise!

1 - I have not managed to consciously couple myself back on to the Scot since he abandoned me for a more peaceful life at the bottom of the hill. I have, however, found my own new living arrangements. Watch this space.....

2 - I no longer still feel really British. This is because I am now at the stage where I don't know how to say anything in either place. Honestly, I get so confused as to whether something is American, British or (let's face it) Scouse. Sometimes you just have to give up. Like when trying to find a sink plug in Ikea. Ok, I know what to call that at home. Here? No idea. I still didn't get one despite my full description of its capabilities. This might seem like a tiny thing but next time you go into a chandlers (scouse apparently) please take a moment to appreciate the small things (no pun intended!)

3 - I still don't really understand American sports. I have tried baseball (long but great snacking opportunities), basketball (quick, easy to understand and lots of celeb spotting opportunities) and American Football (inappropriately named and........that's about all I learned from it).

Oh and when I say 'tried' I obviously mean watched!

4 - I now think dating and auditioning are pretty much the same thing. I do one a lot more frequently than the other and I am not sure how I feel about either most of the time. 

5 - Signs I've been here too long: 

I think $20 to get my car washed (the outside only) is cheap. My sister pointed out it's a fiver at Tesco's. 

I find myself saying 'Go in, it's freezing' when it's 16 (60) degrees outside. At night.

I have a monthly 'membership' for a chiropractor.

I get really (irrationally) annoyed when people from other offices park in our spaces at work. Even when they are going to be free all day.

I get even more annoyed when people turn right (legally) on their red light and my green light, even if there is room for them.

I think nothing of phoning a restaurant to see what oil they use to cook.

I also found myself asking a waitress in Liverpool if I had answered all of her questions after ordering a burger. She hadn't asked me any and was probably never going to! (My sister tells this story differently. I did not ask her if she had any questions for me.) 

I will, however, never write the word 'check' when I mean 'cheque'. Never!
