day 42..foreigner twinning

day 42...Today i was requested and required to "twin myself with a foreigner" this i did, and it couldnt have been simpler, we had james (a real live canadian) with us over christmas, and he was more than willing to engage in any tasking that needed doing..  This particular task wasnt particularly taxing.. he was merely required to be my foriegn town equivelant  in human form. Much like swindon is twinned with disneyland, and teesside is twinned with hell but you know,...with people!

All that was required was the twining, photographic evidence, and some kind of verbal contract to visit eachothers countries, (which we have allready done) In the evening ,In a sort of show of   common wealth solidarity, we sat down to a parmo ( a teesside delicacy) which i plastered with pink paste,(garlic and chilli sauce mixed) partly because i like pink paste with a lot of meals .. but also obviously to indicate the harmony betwixed england and canada..the red and white of the chilli and garlic sauces respectively(  canada's colours) upon the parmo(england) being an indication of the harmony betwixed our glorious lands.

I would loved to have done more, perhaps a flag raising, the singing of national anthems etc.. however it being christmas eve nothing too strenuous was called for, We did a sort of trade of obscure christmas songs we were aware of.. people at home may want to youtube the italian christmas donkey, its my all time fave novelty festive song.I digress.

 I  was twinned for the day, and feel that aswell as completing another day and another task ,i  have a better understanding of the town twinning system.
what a bonus.
