Stephen Savage in Merry Ol' England

After a long hiatus, The Savage Files Journal has been updated. Looks like Steve has been busy renovating houses and staying out of mischief, although he couldn't help taking off his clothes to run through the mere dusting of snow they got in the south of England (unlike the big dump in the north), and giving the locals a fright... I can just hear the twittering going on in Bletchingley now:"Mary, Mary, take a look outside! There's a young man scooting about the neighbour's garden with work goggles and barely a stitch on!"

Sheesh, these Aussies, always wanting to show off! I posted this cheeky piece on his messageboard:

English Pasty (not to be confused with Cornish pasties! er, maybe yes!)

Steve, do they make paint in that fleshtone you appear to be sporting nowadays? It's beyond white, it's incandescent. Put some of that in a tin and it will look brilliant next to 'bright jade'. Oh, I'm so cruel. But, in all seriousness, I'm loving the updates -- UHT milk and Portuguese sardines!! I will bring along whatever treats you want at Easter, a big pack o' finger plasters, and shout you some of that warm stuff the Poms call beer.

I arrive in London on Sunday evening, so the plan is for a catch-up with Steve -- a big boozy gab session -- before making my way to Wolverhampton on Monday for the bridesmaid dress fitting.
