Last night we watched that great moment - Obama elected, so amazing, so wonderful. His speech, at 5am our time, was just incredibly perfect - every word of it. Everyone's worried he won't live up to his potential, but I think if he continues to work outside the Washington box he can't fail...even if things don't go smoothly he's forging a new path, and that has to be a success.
Raine and I stayed up through the night with the help of a 100% American diet! We went to ASDA early in the evening (ASDA Walmart - yeah!), and were determined to buy all American themed food. We should have been filmed, we spent over half an hour criss crossing the aisles, to the cries of - "that's American," and "that could work." We came back with Hot Dogs, Philideplphia (soft cheese), bagels, Budweiser, French's mustard, and Ben and Jerry's ice cream...never has there been a more ridiculously stereotyped shopping basket, but that's what we were aiming for, and I think it was an outright success. We also added a load of energy drinks, we got all the cheap Red Bull imitations, so we could conduct a scientific test on them - turns out a 22p one called 'Emerge' is best - I realise that's the most important fact in this blog;-)
So, to a new world order, I toast you with a bagel and a Bud...
