'Lessons'
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Thanks folks. Had it not been for Joss, she and I might never have met. :)
We've managed to find a big, old house to rent but at the moment it's not looking so big b/c of all the boxes still waiting to be unpacked. We'll get there eventually though.
Conga-rats to Jim and the missus on the new-born.
Hot damn! Way to go, jimi & Moonlit!
I just love all you guys! And my people are pairing up and making babies like it's going out of fashion! There should so be an island for the Buffistas.
sigh.
Congratulations to Jim & Penny, and to jimi & moonlit!
Also, while I´m here, I´ll wave to Fiona from much closer than usual. I´m having an excellent time here in your fair country. How are you feeling? Are you still on bedrest?
Hi Kate! Whereabouts are you waving from?
Yup, still on semi-bedrest. I'm feeling pretty good though. Every day that I don't start bleeding is a good day. Not doing anything in the home is surprisingly tough, though.
Whereabouts are you waving from?
Not Kate, but she's in Berlin.
Yep, I´m staying with a friend in Berlin. We spent all day yesterday in Dresden, which was pretty cool. We spent a lot of time at the Zwinger, which has an excellent little art museum (with Raphael´s Sistine Madonna, you know, the one with the famous cherubs: [link] and beautiful courtyards and fountains and such. Then we drove to Moritzberg for dinner and walked around the grounds of the castle there. But we´ve been mostly just enjoying ourselves in Berlin.
I´m glad to hear that you´re doing all right, even if bedrest is actually kind of tough. You´re in my thoughts.
What is with Berlin lately? Nearly everyone I know has been there in the last few months, or is planning a trip. I'm feeling seriously unfashionable.
Berlin has been fantastic recently, there's a real buzz. All the post-unification projects are coming to fruition, so there's tons of new stuff to see and do, plus the districts are coalescing anew, that sort of thing. We had a blast the last couple of times we were there. Get out there if you can, Jars!
I agree!
Every day that I don't start bleeding is a good day. Not doing anything in the home is surprisingly tough, though.
Fiona, I had SUCH a strong urge to rearrange all the furniture (which wasn't totally random, as it's something we had to do to make room for Lily) when I was on bedrest. For some reason, not being able to do that was the worst part of it. I felt so useless and helpless. And I well recall the No Blood = Good Day feeling. (Which, by the end, had morphed into the, "No Pre-E Yet = Good Day.) Also, I got exceedingly stir-crazy and sick of every book I owned.
Hang in there. It's boring and rough, and I can't imagine how hard it would be with a kidlet in the house.
