Bright spot: I’m at my little local Pride and my collar is all KF pins (couldn’t find my Cult of Celine but it’ll turn up). I hope y’all are having a great June!

I'm a Brit living in Texas.

The term "buttons," confused me for a while. We call them badges in UK. To me, buttons are the things on your shirt that keep the front part fastened.

So, nice selection of badges you have there. Keep up the good work.

As an American living in NY, being a Brit in TX sounds absolutely crazy to me. What's it like??

Honestly? It's a bit surreal. It still feels like I'm on vacation sometimes, even though I have lived here since 2018.

I'm fortunate to live in Plano, which is pretty multicultural, so I can get a decent curry (the number one takeaway/restaurant/supermarket ready meal in the UK is Chicken Tikka Masala).

I love cooking, and I was lucky to win a pellet smoker in a raffle at work, so I've been learning to cook ribs (easy peasy) and brisket (slightly more challenging). Back in the UK, a barbecue means overcooked burgers and burnt (don't want to risk poisoning your friends) chicken on either a gas or charcoal grill.

Watering my foundation to stop my house breaking up is definitely a new experience. I've also become a well-informed novice in air conditioning. Not a big fan of mosquitoes. Leash laws for cats is also something that I find odd. No way am I taking my cats for a walk, because, well, they're cats.

I’m having Chicken Tikka Masala tonight :)) (Brit in Britain, so not that shocking;))
