Because you can't ever have enough photos of yourself with giant stuffed animals, here's a photo of me with a Moose in New Hampshire. I'm the one on the right.

awesome!
Kt sent me through the brilliant Stuff on my Cat website - strangely similar to different feats of loading we used to carry out with Brussell!

funky little dude
The new Star Wars DVD that's just been released has an Easter Egg hidden on it. Check it out - it's brilliant! If you can, listen to the music to get the full effect.
Kt, Li-Ann, Mhairi and Melissa
Last month, Li-Ann and Andrew hosted a party at Milk & Honey, Andrew's club in Soho. The occasion was to celebrate Li-Ann's three years in London, and was a very enjoyable evening!
Loaded!
All of my USA Trip photos have now been loaded onto Flickr and are available for viewing. It's taking me a little longer to get the entries written up, but I'm getting there...

A whole new world...
I think I've found a new set of friends... Occasionally when I'm travelling I'll pick up a pen from a souvenir shop. On returning from this holiday (with a Boston Baked Beans pen and Gone with the Wind pen) I've done a bit of research and found out that these pens are made in Denmark by a company called Eseken and are called Floaty pens. Lots of people like them! Sadly I don't think my collection comes this woman's, but I'm going to do an audit of the pens and see what they're worth!

Here's Fiona and I on our 'Sex and the City' bus tour on Sunday. One of the stops was at the location that they use for Carrie's apartment exterior and here's us sitting on the stoop!

Normal service to resume shortly
If you're reading the blog, you will notice it's looking a little sketchy! I've not been able to track down internet access over the past few days, and where we're staying now in Concord it's limited to 15 minutes, so I've just made some notes now. When I have some time (maybe in New York), I'll spend some time fleshing it out. We're having a great time though - even if the weather is quite different in New England than it was in the deep South!

USA trip Day Six - Charleston
Had a nice sleep in after a travelling day yesterday. I was staying in a B&B in the historic district of Charleston - the Rutledge Victorian Guesthouse. I was originally meant to have Emilie's room, but I got upgraded to Abigail's room which had a Huge bed! Had breakfast with some fellow guests, including some very religious people who kept on talking about looking for the 'truth' in the media and how the Constitution meant that the country was based on Christian values exclusively and should stay that way. Thankfully they left before I put my 2c in, but I had a chat with a university professor, who was VERY excited to hear that I was from New Zealand and was insanely jealous that Angus had been in the Lord of the Rings films.
Did a walking tour of Charleston in the morning which is the most beautiful place. I loved it. The historic districts have been beautifully restored with many gorgeous houses. The main style of house in Charleston is the 'single house' - a building built at right angles to the road, normally three story with three long porches running along the length of the building. The front door normally opens straight onto the porch or a garden.
Charleston is on a harbour where the Cooper and X rivers meet - there is a new bridge, the Ravenel Bridge, that was opened in July (I saw them blowing up the concrete pylons of the old bridge). I went out on a boat tour to Fort Sumter, where the first shots were fired in the American Civil War (or "the unpleasantness" as it is known in the South). The Fort itself didn't interest me that much but the cruise was interesting and there were loads of dolphins around the fort which was fascinating to watch.
After only eating a hotdog on the train last night, I decided to treat myself to a nice meal and went to Anson which was very nice. I had the local speciality, 'She Crab soup' which was lovely and some fried shrimp. Bizarrely there was a Kiwi working as a waiter (we get everywhere...) but I didn't end up talking to him.
