All Saints

And so to All Saints Day - thankfully not named after the dreadful UK girly band who butchered "Under the Bridge" originally by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. If you are going to cover a song, at least understand what it is about you silly little girls.

Anyway, All Saints Day - a religious holiday through most of Europe is based on a pagan festival. A little convenient, but that's organised religion for you. Take the bits we like, throw away the bits we don't and hey presto - organised religion. Cynical? It's my middle name!

I still have to organise a flight back to my country of origin for my son's birthday and I promised I would be there. Doubtful about flying into LiverFool again - done it once, never again. Costs too much to go to Madchester - even though I would be close to the beloved Old Trafford (home of Manchester United). That leaves me with a choice of Leeds (field in the middle of nowhere) or East Midlands (bigger field, bigger nowhere). Have to make a decision before the flight costs escalate like a supermodel on drugs.

Ask me about the teddy in the toilet incident - then you will understand the level we are working at.....

ala,

You could travel by coach instead of flying to (Y)UK and hopefully, the Teddy bear you mentioned elsewhere was not a Feliz Cumpleaños gift for your son!

All Saints Day is just another organised 'religious business', as convenient as 'Saint Valentin'.

¡Hasta la próxima!
