I'm not sure if this is the right forum to say it, but my idea of paradise is a branch of Greggs next door to McDonalds...


Although ideally I'd need a Pizza Hut too, for variety.

Anyhoo, today was the third and final day of my training course, but in an effort to get another night away from the kids, I informed Lisa that it would be foolhardy for me to travel back to Brighton this evening. So I've paid for an extra night at the Travelodge out of my own vast personal fortune, and will be travelling home tomorrow.

It's just as well too, as I'm knackered. I could barely find the energy to walk down to Poundland to buy a gift for Amelie and Toby. But in an attempt to broaden my horizons just as the sun was sinking over them, I headed straight out after today's studies to experience Birmingham's outstanding architecture.

Here's a bridge which looks like Blakey from 'On the Buses'...


And here's the Floozie in the Jacuzzi in front of a typical Birmingham council house...


The kids in the foreground are called 'Youth'. I think they're eyeing up a chocolate fountain while they wait for their child benefit to come through.

Anyhoo, here's the Town Hall from in front of the Paradise Forum...


... which proves I'd managed to turn my back on Greggs. I also managed to stagger into Poundland and buy Toby a plastic giraffe. So with the course completed, the presents bought and the sights seen, I just need an early night and a good journey home. It's been a productive few days in Brummagem, but I'd rather be knackered at home with my family.

Glad you've been improving your mind. Have a good journey home tomorrow and don't sleep too soundly on the trains in case you miss your connections! Think you will be welcomed with open arms. xxx
