Have you ever seen the reaction you get when you offer the smell of Tim Tams to someone who hasnt smelled them in over three months?
Barely milliseconds into registering the sweet chocolatey aroma Sarah's knees gave way and she needed to brace herself against the kitchen bench while she stood up again.
Mmm... Tim Tams...
Photos from Bloomington Airport are up in the Flying section, and there are a couple more Culture photos too.

And the rest of Saturday followed a similar pattern of decadence. After watching a whole disc of Fawlty Towers (four episodes so far - Sarah is hooked!) we set out to sample various foods at the Taste of Bloomington - a sectioned-off part of the town with all the local food places holding stalls with samples of all their food. The food was good, though a little on the expensive side. Two slices of pizza, for example, cost about the same as having a large (whole) pizza delivered. Sarah's mate Art and I were considering for a few moments actually ringing up and ordering a pizza to the front entrance and eating it by the pizza stalls.
Yesterday was Fathers Day in America, so we drove to Sarah's parents place for the afternoon. Its about three hours away, and across the border in another time zone. They have a lovely back verandah, but sitting out on it for a few hours did result in everyone getting a little sunburnt. This is a novelty, sunburn in June. At least it wasnt too harsh (they have a full sized ozone layer here). I had already met Sarah's parents - they came to Canberra last October - and I finally met her sister for the first time. She works for Kraft, and sent us some of those little single serve packs of Vegemite last week.
Some more photos are up, from the drive through cornfields and around the place.

Happy birthday to me!
Linda from Canada sent me an absolutely adorable e-card, which I really have to share with you all:
Singing Pigs
With this, emails making me smile, (though Mum did get the date wrong...), Sarah brought me pancakes for breakfast while I was still in bed (meh, its a Saturday, its my birthday!), and watching a couple of episodes of Fawlty Towers - and this is just before lunch! Yes, its a great day!
