Bonjour, mes amis!

I'll be away for my break until the middle of October...by which time, there will be LOADS to catch up on with AMOLAD and lots of stuff to help get me up to speed in time for the "BIG EVENT".

Don't worry! I'll be thinking about and praying for you all - especially the Almighty Aards that all will be well for their 'wrap', the editing, the music, the blaze of publicity etc. that will come with the baggage.

My cuddly will be coming with me, too. He's been packing his hanky for the trip and I told him not to forget his sou' wester as it doesn't half rain up in the Pyrennees.

Yes, indeed! I HAVE packed my socks and my vintage W&G t-shirt!

Nutmeg Blue is in good hands ... she'll be getting postcards and plenty of treats from her mummy when she comes back. Who knows, she might have just as good a time as her mum when I'm away!

This is NOT goodbye...but AU REVOIR! See you when I get back.

Take care, everyone!

bonjour cinders!

hi squigly, gotta go friends hair to cut, see you later x

À bientôt cinders!

PoisonIvy, it's just some elementary French I remember from grade school. Did you study any foreign languages?

I'm enjoying all this general cat! Oh wait, that's only half French... [chat = cat, eh?] Sorry, that was not what I'd call a good joke either.

Au revoir! If Gromit visits any exciting land marks be sure to take some pictures

go to the ifle tower! its brilliant (lots of steps), plus i think there i some pretty good art gallerys too.

Salut Joesphine!
Je m'appelle DS99.
Will miss you!
How long will you be??
Au revoir!

Well, my homeschooling is... diverse. Sort of I just learn what I want to learn. 'Course my mum was a teacher so she teaches me. I learn Spanish, vaguely.
Ola, amigos! (I can't insert funny characters like upside-down exclamation marks!)
Ah - mi madre no es un caballo. Mi madre es un vaca! (Joke, guys!) Er... un cerdo no es un caballo, hombre estupido! Es usted en cerdo, eh? El cerdo no tiene pelo. El caballo tiene pelo corte...

Adios, Josephine!

Okay just translated all that on Google Translate... either it's a bad translator or my Spanish is bad. But I learnt with Rosetta Stone, so don't blame me if I put 'corte' for short, instead of cut...

Ah, okay... 'corto' is short, 'corte' is cut. Fussy, fussy.

do you like to argue with yourself.
if i was home schooled i don't think i would learn a language, maybe Afrikaans but otherwise i don't think so.

poisonivy, you spelt hola wrong. (it has a silent h)

so much for his spanish lessons, eh?

À bientôt Saumon des Yeux Chaussette!

I had 5 years of Frenh and that is about all I remember!

lol...me too! They gradually introduced French to us in the 5th grade (once a week). It became a required subject from 7th thru 10th.

Comment allez vous, de Poissons? Haven't seen you around here in awhile.

Squigly! I haven't posted much because I was out of town visiting my alma mater. I'd forgotten how it was more like a castle than a school - something like Hogwarts, only the staircases have the good manners to stay in one spot - thank goodness!

Then a friend of mine died and I have been gone because of that.

may that friend Rest In Peace

wow, sounds like a nice place to go to school. and old. i would have loved to go to a school like Hogwarts. except, there aren't any castles here. lol! just a palace, and it's small.

sorry to hear about your friend. i just found out a few weeks ago that a friend passed away in June. i've been thinking about it ever since.

poor fish that is very sad sorry for your loss. Someone close to me passed away a few weeks ago

fish im sorry to hear that you have your wonderfull memories of your friend to look back on and lovely family to keep you smiling

glad your trip went well and the staircases behaved themselves, it sounds like a fantastic building

Thanks everyone! My friend was born on a pineapple plantation in Hawaii, and was put in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. She lost relatives when the USA bombed Japan in 1945. With all this trouble you would think she would be bitter, but she was anything but that. We all loved her at our church, and we will miss her terribly. And I will never forget her and her ability to be kind and loving.

She sounded like a very nice woman.

Sorry for all of you that lost someone close recently

aaww i missed her. hope shes having a good time on her hol

I shall see you on Monday as I am going away with the Scouts to Loch Goilhead.
I'm afraid no Wallace or Gromit merchandise will be travelling with me as they are all worth their weight in gold to me

Have a great time, crackingcheese

hehe, hope you slept well anyway.

I never go anywhere without my cuddly Gromit. But if I were going on a camp out with lots of other people I would most likely make the same choice.
