Today's observations!

OK, so here are some observations and things I have been thinking about today!

1. The new come back series of Knight Rider is rubbish! Without David Hasselhof it's disappointing. Really was a let down (it was on cable TV - we get all sorts from the states!)


2. I had my first bacon butty tonight since I left UK. There is a huge amount of imported bacon in the supermarket. Thing is, it's not REAL bacon - it's turkeybacon, but I still bought lots as we don't get it very often. Turkey bacon, although lovely - and luckily has been nowhere near a swine - just doesn't taste the same! Turkey bacon is disappointingly not as good as pig!


3. The Simpson's in Spanish is not as good as in English - the accents just aren't right! Again, a disappointing discovery.

At no point have I said that my thoughts and observations would be profound!

4. Nearly being late for work because you couldn't get your car out of the gate until the oxen and cart had moved, is not an excuse you could use in England!

5. The furniture store in town had an electrical fire, which blew out all the traffic lights in the town centre, about 2 months ago (maybe more) and it dawned on me today that they still haven't been repaired. Driving in town is every man (or woman) for themselves!

6. The most exciting news - for those that know me well..Cillit Bang (cleaner) has made it to Honduras, but is called Easy-off Bang!!! It hasn't made it to Sigua yet, but I've seen the adverts on TV. And yes....the man still shouts, but no...there is no penny test!!

7. How can a Pine Tree have a week's worth of celebrations? The Pine Tree is a national symbol of Honduras. But, really...a whole week of parties and concerts? When I say parties think traditional music!!! On Saturday, there is a carnival during the afternoon and then a huge one at night. For a tree?? I think I must be missing something!

8. There is an increase of Tele-shopping on TV these days. It's even hit Honduras! Sad.

As you can see, I've had a busy day thinking!!

When I say that there are horses wandering the streets and dogs, horses and cars outside my house I'm not joking. Sadly, I couldn't go out and take a photo of the oxen outside today because there were lots of men with them - and showing them my camera wasn't an option! But, here are the horses and dogs right outside.. (I'm trying to build up a picture for you all)
