we have fresh milk from our amish farmer and morgana is in a festive mood this week because her birthday is on wednesday, sooooo . . she made hot chocolate this morning.
the girls also spent a sizable portion of the morning researching flights to europe. morgana has been saving all year to visit paris with her friend camille, and chanda was accepted into a two week summer ballet intensive at the royal ballet school. they are combining these visits with a trip to norway to see solveig and haakon who were here in february. all this talk and planning leaves me feeling thoroughly exhausted.
Happy a Birthday for today Morgana! Dave told me about your email, which I have yet to read! We are around three hours from London but will check dates of C's visit and see if we can make a day if it to meet and visit the natural history museum. Will send an email soon xx
ReplyDeleteSo great to hear that it is working out! Congratulations, Chanda. Be careful, London is full of people with "horrible" accents. You think you speak English, but once listening to the people around you, you might think you don't anymore. At least that was our experience 10 years ago. And I am not talking about foreigners.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know. It's so funny. Our nephew has already succumbed and sounds terribly British!
DeleteI will never forget when somebody came to fix our dryer. Both, Peter and I, did not understand one word of what he was saying. His accent was not sophisticated British, but maybe Cockney? He could have spoken Chinese and we would have not noticed the difference because nothing that came out of his mouth made any sense to us :)! It was almost easier to understand people from India or other foreigners.
Deleteoh that's funny. you've given me a good chuckle this evening! (i just finished feeding jack . . . will go back to sleep soon . . )
DeleteHow exciting! I hope they have a great time!
ReplyDeletehi megan, i think they will . . . but i'm having a few sleepless nights . .
