Immediately after the tornado, which they are now calling an inland hurricane that tore apart Southern Illinois and neighbouring Missouri there was something like 120,000 homes without power, now, just before midnight on Tuesday it’s down to just over 14,000 and we are one of them. We should, they say, have power tomorrow, which will be [...] -

When Matt got up for work, neither one of us could tell what a trying day was about to befall us. I’d had a restless night, the lightening and slight thunder that had thrilled me and lit up the nights sky as if it were day time, continued, although at a much further distance. Matt slept [...] -

Just how do you make a car vanish without moving it of being best friends with Derren Brown? Answer, you get a really talented design student called Sara Watson to make it disappear, just as she did the Skoda in the following picture. See it?It’s there, it took her three weeks to create the illusion or [...] -

Last night after he got off work Matt and I headed over toward Carbondale and in to Golden Corral, which is a vast all you can eat type buffet restaurant. We’d previously been for lunch with his Ma and Pa, but this was our first nocturnal solo visit to the establishment. Oh My Gooshness, what a [...] -

I’ve really enjoyed yesterday’s trip out of the apartment and out of the state, down w e drove to Kentucky and a town called Peducah. Along the way our route took us right by Superman’s home, yep, I kid you not, we passed Metropolis! It is a real place, it’s been there since 1839, holds an annual [...] -

Yes, they call them suckers, we Brits call them lollies! But whatever the name, they still taste the same! We ate at a Mexican place, again Matt ordered for me, as I was totally unsure what was good, bad or just plain strange. Oh and again, the Mexican waiteress could not understand a word I said. [...] -

How embarrassing, I was out with Matt and his parents at Applebee’s, a good restaurant in Marion, not far from the Carterville apartment, we’d had a lovely meal, good conversation and I managed to wrestle the bill away from his Steve, Matt’s dad, plonked my card down. After a short while, our waitress came back and [...] -

It’s been two weeks since I took those flights on Air Slow and plonked myself down in the heartland of The Big Country! It takes some getting used to, as I’m sure any Brit living this side of the pond will testify, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. There are a great number [...] -
