Sossy Rolls Irish Style

Picked the new car up on Saturday and drove home under the guidance of the new GPS. Few wrong turns but we made it home safely. At one point in the city, the GPS said to 'turn right at the big brown building'? We looked at each other and said 'WTF - which bloody brown building' -  a street name would have been more helpful Mr. Garmin. 

We like the food at the Irish pub around the corner and we had to try the sausage rolls - they were pretty good actually. Very smooth filling, it was like a sausage itself in pastry but it was still yummy.

We've churned through Season 1 of The Blacklist but Season 4 has just started here so I have some serious couching sitting to do to catch up.

We can now say the dogs come NEXT week - we're very excited but also very nervous for them both. I ordered new collars for them today too with their new contact numbers.

We've organised our internet and cable - what a bloody confusing complex experience that is. It took Deb days to sort through all the different providers but finally, I think we've got it sorted. Time will tell I guess. You seem to have a lot more choice here and it's quite competitive unlike Australia where you're kinda stuck with the standard provider.

I'm stuck into the elections here - I feel like I'm watching a train crash in creation. Trump is seriously flogging them but, it's only been 3 states so I'm keen to see how things look next week after 'Super Tuesday' when a bunch more states vote. 

The World 24hr MTB champs were in NZ this weekend and several good friends raced once again. I followed the live results from here and was pleased to see many podiums for my friends. Of note, the reigning legend champion just won his 7th consecutive world title - this is now the record. This champ races on pizza, weetbix, gels, hot cross buns - anything he can get his hands on. He puts Lance Armstrong to shame.

I've got a bit of a chesty cough, hoping it doesn't develop any worse. Knocked me flat actually so thankfully I can take some downtime to rest. Not much exciting news in this post but we plan to head into Virginia this weekend in the new car and check out the capital. Hopefully have some pics from there and put another footprint on my US map.
