I'm leaving... on a jet plane...

Well, actually its a prop plane, because the airport in Jersey isn't that big, and they don't have that many jets, but hey!

The return to work is tomorrow. So very much not looking forward to it. But, still, I've had a lovely break here in my sunny Isle.

I always feel a bit wierd when I'm here. Like when I'm here I want to be here. But when I'm there (ie London) I want to be there. Or perhaps that is better expressed as... when I'm here, I want to be there, and when I'm there, I want to be here... if only I could be in two places at once!

That was a bit rambling. I know what I mean at least!

To contrast that and attempt to be succinct, I thought I'd give a top 10 list of unique, funny, and slightly wierd things about Jersey, in no particular order!

1. Cows
2. Boreholes (NB these are both for the benefit of Pete, Steve and Tom)
3. This is the only place you still see mark 1 Fiestas and Metros
4. The surf. And the fact that you can mess around in it and pretend your 5. And that's fine, because that's what everyone else is doing too!
5. The Hungry Man. Those who have been (Richelle, Steve, Hannah... and of course all my local friends) will join with me in appreciating its hangover curing powers. Those who haven't... you really should visit some time!
6. People take flasks of tea, cake and bottles of wine to the beach.
7. Old wooden surf boards and green zip up wetsuits with jackets and gloves are the rage for hitting the surf.... if you're 50+ that is.
8. You can't buy a paper on a Sunday. But you can buy a porn mag (not that I have of course!)
9. You see people who you know, but don't know why, in the street, at least once every 10 minutes.
10. Jersey potatoes. Enough said. They are just great.

For now, however, I have to go and eat a roast dinner. Parental cooking. Tis great ;-)
