Old School ties make brunch surprise

For brunch today my current housemates invited some friends Ben and Emily

for pancakes, fruit, chocolate sauce, honey and yoghurt - all very civilised and colonial. Now, Emily on the right of the picture is a clone on Nicole Hanniford in Bristol, same mannerisms the works. It is truely uncanny. But it gets wierder.. it turns out that Ben (centre of picture) is of English extraction- interesting. From the Bristol region in fact- small world. Nailsea to be precise. Hmmm. School...? Bristol Grammar School. Jaw dropping, eh? I was a sixth former when he was a first year. He doesn't remember me which is probably a good sign. Today we have been building a false floor for the boot of the car, where three amps and other sound system goodies will be stowed, whilst still giving access to the spare wheel though a hinged trap door. Kiwi engineering genius. Later, a barbeque. Tomorrow perhaps a ride to the coast to explore the beaches - all on two wheels. Aim to find the Brass Monkey cafe. Sounds good.
