You've lived in Germany? So you're trilingual? Wow.
And I think you're quite interesting. :)
You've lived in a few places in the UK, too, hey. :)
No, I'm not trilingual... I can't speak German. We went to a British school there and didn't mix with German kids a whole lot. Now I think back on it, it was a real wasted opportunity.
I think you're pretty interesting as well. : )
You are definitely interesting! ;-) I couldn't make it past 6 places that I have lived in- very boring!
BTW- I didn't delete your comment the other day, it is still there but as you commented on the actual photo, it doesn't show on the post but on the photo when you click on it! I never moderate or delete comments, let alone nice ones like that! :-)
Thanks Midori! I have a bit of trouble with Word Press blogs - often the photos don't show up unless I click on them individually or I reload the page. I must have clicked on that one to see it and then thought I was on the main page. I didn't know you could comment on individual pics, too!
Dunno if it is a Mac problem or a Firefox problem or a settings problem....
(And he IS nice!)
You lived in Cornwall!! I'm from Cornwall! As they say, small world (but I wouldn't want to paint it...).
I actually popped in here today to tag you for another game!
6 unimportant things you love: http://monkey-magic-blog.blogspot.com/2009/06/six-unimportant-things-you-love.html
I know you're a busy gal, but have a go if you have time, I'd love to hear what you come up with. And you definitely are interesting :-)
You ARE interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Ooo Fun, fun! I had no idea you lived in Germany! Wasn't it HOT today? I thought I'd melt.
I wish they would have a Blogger, Wordpress utopia = )
Hot??? No. It was 13 degrees and POURING with rain. Absolutely horrible weather. Sniff. :(
