In Liverpool

Well, I have now been here in the UK for 1 week. The weather has been excellent for England. We are just trying to find somewhere to live right now here in the Wirral-near liverpool. We will stay here for a few months before heading down south, near my family and Teosdee's. The kids love it here, although it is crowded in her cousin's house. The aftermath of the bombs is still being felt here, there was a firebomb thrown at a mosque here in birkenhead last week. My last week in Hong kong was spent in a haze, so much so that i didn't even drink on the flight! A first for me. After a weeks good food, and no beer, I feel fit as a fiddle. In fact I had a medical on Friday and the doctor told me everything is tip top.I will give up smoking next week, apparently they have tablets now which are very effective.
We went to New Brighton on Sunday, but at one point I became claustrophobic, too many English people, too many scousers in one place.It was too much too soon. The supermarkets are heaven, I find myself wandering around them in a daze.Cool, look at that, wow! look at these. The simplest pleasures are the best.
