Malibu....

Its been raining on and off in California for the last couple of days..and I hoped what little we had would clear the air a bit..but its still sticky and humid. I got uncomfortably sweaty on my walk today.
 I did get to see a lovely 1965 Chevrolet Malibu tho. 
We have a 1966 model which I hope will look just as good when hubby finishes working in it

Legal...

Look whats come....at last...Ive covered all relevent info just in case... Im now legal to work in The US....and if I have to visit the UK for any reason...they will let me back in. My pic isn't too bad...I was worried. 
When I went to have it taken it was done by a very nice Indian gentleman who took one look at me in my carefully chosen cream top and wagged his finger at me saying" no no no...white shirt..white hair ...white background" He proceeded to give me a funky yellow and orange kaftan to wear...which prompted MrD to call me Priya (Darling) for the rest of the day...

Thank goodness the photo is in black and white

Headache....

After having a wonderful 4th of July Weekend...my first as an honorary American..Im afraid Im not feeling quite myself. Hubby and I went to Disneyland to celebrate on Saturday....no excuse really as its only 20 mins away. It was very hot...and the pale wilting Welsh flower that I am :) ..I got very sunburnt....I guess factor 30 isnt strong enough. It was a long day...and by the time my phone died on me late afternoon...I had clocked up more than 30,000 steps.....incredible and still more than 4 hours to go. My legs ached a bit..but I soon got over it...but for some reason I have been suffering from migraines and nausea for the last couple of days. Hopefully I will be back on track soon. 
Heres a pic of us at the Happiest Place on Earth...which for me is wherever my hubby is.. Him looking cool...and me starting to burn to a crisp lol
