I have quite a bit of experience talking with folk in various parts of the British Isles. It is quite entertaining, esply with the words that are pronounced/spelled exactly the same way, but have wildly different meanings...I'll never forget the first time some one told me they were heading to the store to buy some "fags" is a more tame example.

He seems oblivious and is chatting more. I cannot wait for spring. This winter has sucked hard.
Cranberry juice and off to change a diaper. |

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase That you bought today Our house is a very, very fine house With two cats in the yard Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy 'Cause of you ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm-q0ELuk1A ) Good morning, everyone! The house is almost done! One more shoji to paper, a few more upper walls to scrub, then it's off to the shop for some silk flowers to decorate a bit... Mr. Estate Agent... Bring on the customers! There is East India Company's "Royal Breakfast" tea in my mug today, and some home-made pita bread with Za'atar/olive oil on top, and a few Kalamata olives and hummus beside it. A good way to start the day! Quote:
This has NOT been a good winter for you at all! I'm sure next one will be better! And Spring is just around the corner, so get well quickly so you can take Lucas out jogging with you! One more cup of tea, then work, work, work! Stitchawl |

Spring will be nice. Walks, hikes, and softball.
Pneumonia twice, asthma, rotovirus,whatever virus I have now. I started the winter taking vitamins. I'll end the winter on four drugs and a nebulizer. I knew my immune system was going to weak after giving birth but this is nuts. |

So Stitchawl, everything in Shogun is still true? To some extent? Like, it's still necessary to belch after eating?

It's the most difficult culture to deal with that I have ever encountered in all my travels. Women get angry if you hold the door open for them, people will stop to talk at the entrance to an escalator, having dinner with friends in a restaurant means that everyone 'may' get their food at very different times, and that's OK. No one waits until everyone is served. Little children are allowed to run amuck in department stores and supermarkets, tearing up and down the isles screaming with joy...If mother were to scold them, it would mean she hasn't properly disciplined them already, so she does nothing. And that's the norm. Besides, here, it is the school teacher's responsibility to teach the children manners and good behavior. I think I'm ready to go back to Thailand. More tea please, wife. (I should beat her. She should have been attentive enough to notice my cup was just about empty...) Spoiler:

On the down side: I don't think I have ever been more tired, I have a contact allergy on my hands and it itches like crazy (and I'm not allowed to scratch or even rub my hands AND I WANT TO SCRATCH SO BAD!), my throat is sore, my nose and sinuses are filled with an endless amount of yucky green stuff. I feel miserable.
On the plus side: Daylight War (Peter Brett - Demon Cycle book 3) has finally arrived yesterday! 800 pages filled with fighting and demon ichor to get through! And I have a coffee in my cup, which is keeping me alive at the moment. Barely ... |
