Thanks Theo, you made MY day!
Hi all, 2 weeks till exams, 5 assignments to complete, I'll disappear in a puff of smoke very soon.
Fay, I DID and WAS thinking of you and anxiously waited for the Englishwoman in Egypt to reappear and post that she was OK. How horrible, words can't .... well I guess they can but I can't right now.
Why am I studying to be a politics/history/international relations secondary school teacher ... I don't think I can really answer that right now either.
On a slightly lighter note, have your parents gone grey yet, what with you in Egypt and your sister's past proximity to SARS?
So sorry, Fay...I keep meaning to say so, and get distracted. But, still glad it's not One of Ours, if you'll follow me.
Did you guys see Jars' post in Minearverse?
Wonderfalls is playing in Ireland. . .
Trying to post this where she may see it on time: according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Fiona's birthday.
Happy birthday, Fiona! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Thanks Nilly! Woke up to a grey rainy day today, with a son who refused point blank to sing Happy Birthday. Things can only get better!
a son who refused point blank to sing Happy Birthday
Shame on him! And in the pictures, he's so cute. Also, goodness, I can't wrap my brain around him being old enough to sing.
Things can only get better!
It's just spending all the grey-ness and lack-of-singing-ness of the year up front, when it starts, so that the rest of it is freed up to be fabulous.
Also, goodness, I can't wrap my brain around him being old enough to sing.
You should hear him! It's getting so that he can even carry a tune. And he talks ridiculously fluently, in two languages. It's amazing.
I'm going out with SO for dinner at a restaurant tonight, ON OUR OWN, which is such a special treat nowadays that it's worth having a birthday to get it.
You should hear him!
Yeah, I really should. Sigh.

That's better that I will ever be able to.
fluently, in two languages. It's amazing.
Does each of you talk with him in one language, or do you both use both languages? How does he choose which language to use?
ON OUR OWN
Yay you.
Happy Birthday, Fiona. Teach the
"Hippo Bird Day to Ewe, Hippo Bird Day to Ewe..."
version. I bet he'll sing that.
Gus! It's been forever since I posted with you, I should have known to look for you here, in the thread that fits the timezones you're living in now.
