Well! The Rodeo down at the Cowtown Coliseum was excellent. Some bull riding, roping and real life bucking bronco riding. It was quite good fun, especially when they had a bunch of kids in the arena who were all trying to get the ribbon from the tail of a calf… one kid got trampled, I…

Arrived in Fort Worth this morning. Da Boss prefers FW to Dallas so we are here. Wondered about downtown, which was dead, but at least had some character. We then drove about to find CompUSA an an AT&T shop, boss happy with purchases. Joe T Garcia’s for lunch. It is just the best mexican food…

Day 2 in Dallas. My first proper breakfast this week, yum yum 🙂 Then an early Lunch with a nice man we are doing business with. A trip to the airport to drop off a colleague and then… well. Firstly why can’t Dallas roads cope with rain? They do not drain! Secondly, why can’t Dallas…

Hmmm, I have been awake for 23.5hours now, so apologies if I ramble. Well yes, I appear to be in Texas. The land of the huge steak *burp* and high speed *rotfl* internet access. But anyway, I’m in Texas, my bags arn’t. Yet again the airlines prove they hate me. Scum! I’m assured I’ll have…

Sainsburys black pepper and cheese muffins… they even smell good when toasting. Yum 🙂

Hmm, my trip to Texas has been extended forward by a day, so I now fly out on Tuesday. This apparently allows me to have dinner in Austin on Tuesday night with some people. Will they mind if I sleep through dinner? So yes. It appears I’ll have Saturday free in Dallas/Fort Worth and it…
