Some are a bit abstract, but a couple are unspeakably amazing.

I have fallen and I can’t get up

“I have fallen, and I can’t get up”
Well, I took some time getting round to this one. I have loved this phrase dearly, and now I know its origins I can rest in peace. The best section is “Notable Uses”, especially the phrase, “Roseanne once fell down and spoke the words.”
The first post on this blog for 2 months!

And it’s a link! I am a massive fan of grammar, and I just found this website. It actually amazed me, it’s brilliant: it’s so comprehensive! And what’s more, they’re not even English, it’s a German-based communications company. I was well pleased.
So, welcome back to this blog. My South American blog is still available, naturally, [...]
Over and out…

Well then, this is the last post to be made on this travel blog. Do not fear, however! Those of you that have enjoyed my shrewd and witty writing style may still enjoy it at my ordinary blog, which I fill with wonderful stories of joy from my day-to-day life and the occasional post about [...]
Last post from South America! (updated)
September 21, 2005 • 8:05 pm
So, the time has finally come for the last post from South America! We fly tomorrow, all the way back to England. I’m excited in some ways, and sad in others. It will be nice to see everyone again, that’s for sure.
The first thing we did when we arrived in Rio was to get in [...]
Today

Not much happened today, except that we went on a walk over a hill to see a prison. Well, it was a deserted prison. Quite surreal to see it, really. There were trees growing in the exercise yard, and the whole thing had caved in. Took about two hours to get there, and two hours [...]
So, the best part, which I completely forgot last time
September 16, 2005 • 11:57 am
We spent all day yesterday on the beach!!! The sun was beautiful, the sea was beautiful, the sand was beautiful, the scenery was beautiful, the surf was beautiful; it was just completely gorgeous. You should all be really jealous! I got the best tan ever, I’m so pleased with my skin, it’s done me proud. [...]
The adventure continues
September 15, 2005 • 6:28 pm
So we left the camp, and went back to Campo Grande, the place where we booked the trek-thing. From there we got a bus to São Paulo. We spent a few hours (I left my very quick post from there) and then got on another bus to Parati. The buses are really depressing. Firstly, they [...]
So, the post which will contain loads of stuff…

The first thing we did after leaving Foz do Iguazu (which is the full name apparently) was to book a tour of the bush, including the Pantanal, which is a wildlife reserve, and very gorgeous. We set off from Some City (whose name I have forgotten) and went by bus into Another Place, before picking [...]
Another quick post!

In the bus station of Sao Paulo. Been having lots of fun, just got back from the jungle. Well, some woods more like, but I do have 100 mosquito bites on my legs. I refused to use DEET because it dissolved the plastic on Alex’s watch, and in my book that makes it lethal. Anyway, [...]
