I kinda fibbed.  I was away on holiday (no need to tell the world that my house is unoccupied, now, is there?).  It was my tenth anniversary with my other half, so we did something extremely silly for us and spent it in Orlando.  Really, how many times can you see the Rijksmuseum in one lifetime?  There's room for theme parks.

And my god, what a lot there are in Orlando.  We had to leave out the five different waterslide parks just to fit the others in.  It was mostly Disney, which was good fun, especially the fab Disney Animal Kingdom, which I didn't even know existed (though the Finding Nemo musical is godawful).  We also went to the two Universal Studios parks and Busch Gardens in Tampa...

...which has the scariest roller coaster I've ever been on.  It's called SheiKra and has a literal (and I mean that literally) face-down, 200-foot, 90-degree drop straight towards the ground.  It was bloody brilliant.  We went on it four times.

As for the rest, I can safely say I've had my lifetime's fill of "4-D" shows where you watch Shrek or Flik or the Terminator spray water at you and poke you in the back.  Plus, good luck finding a vegetable on any menu or a proper jogging path.  But very good fun.

And now back to work.  Events to come, including one this Friday at the London School of Economics.  Check it out.
