When I'm not journaling in obscurity, I'm flirting with disaster, missing planes and planning adventures. I've just moved back to Canada from London (UK), where I developed unsavoury habits like looking left before crossing the street, holding my fork curved down, and asking for the 'loo'. Follow me as I fumble my way to familiarity in my new home – Toronto . I promise won't spare you the gritty city details.
It's mascara, you perverts.

HAH. it seems like this could become entirely a blog of funny british signs. *must go there*
I am furious that the first thing I thought of was "... my lovely lady lumps."
Damn you Fergie!
i am playing outside - You made me look through my photo file, and I realised you're right. That's nearly as terrifying as the prospect of a cat blog. I'll need to be careful about that.
Wes - Yeah, but can she do it for 3/4 of a mile?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's my GIRL!
Hey look - there you are, all London-side!
I'm Kate - In your honour ladies! In your honour!
wyliekat - I keep having to remind myself that I am in England. Usually, I just feel like I'm in an alternative North America, where everyone wears black and avoids eye contact.
I like the American sign for "Speed Humps," because it's truth in advertising for what I've got to offer.
