British people do not speak English, and apparently, neither do Americans. Wellies, jumpers, rucksacks, biscuits, crisps, rubbish and bloody hell. I found myself saying "huh?" quite a bit during our vacation.
I can drink copious amounts of Spanish wine every day. Even after a "rough night" nothing goes better with Spanish sunshine than a nice glass of Spanish red. Is that a problem? I suppose not as long as I live in Spain ...
We miss road tripping. We drove about 2000km around southern Spain over the last week. It's definitely been too long since we've just hopped in the car and drove as a family. Olive has the makings of a good road-tripping dog. She did very well, although not quite as well as Avery use to do.
I'm on a country music kick. I've never been a country music super-fan, but it's very simple music and it's very "American" subject matter, which I'm into at the moment.
Given the choice, our kids would eat a bag of flour and bag of white sugar every day. I thought after a few years of indoctrination, they could withstand the peer pressure of other kids eating more "standard" foods, but they can't. Apparently, delayed satisfaction is not a naturally occurring trait in children.
