I’m back

I don’t want to talk about Jess. I want to keep her to myself. She’s been shared now in the wrong way. Everyone should remember her not the accident but people have only heard of the accident and right now I don’t want to share her the way she deserves. Everyone is allowed to know [...]

So I gave in

On a last note, I gave in and did the whole Facebook thing. I never wanted one just because then I have to maintain it and keep up contact with all these people. And they do they whole give virtual hugs and plants and that’s plain freaky. But I have a lot of friends already [...]

Happy Birthday

 

 
Pip,
Happy 14th birthday dude. Celebrate it. Sorry my present is late. I send you these clips with love. Remember them? I can’t actually find a movie with just the one line so have fun with these two.
 
Love you little (emphasis) brother. xx
 

Eurotrip

I’m sorry. I’m a terrible daughter, grandaughter, niece.
I went away for several weeks and before that I had the stress of my host family. Not the best family ever and I was just too stressed and then I finally changed again and left. So, if you still like me enough to want to hear, I [...]

Lucky I know how to speak Rachel

Go out into this world and give all you have to give because you got a lot. And now that you’re 18 and oh so old, I hope you had a fabulous day.
Happy birthday to you
You’re a hundred and two
You look like a monkey
And you smell like your shoe.
 

Marseille

I went to Marseille with my host mother last week. We went down on the train on a Wednesday for four hours in first class because my host mother only travels first class. She was going down for work and so I was given money every morning to take a taxi around Marseille and enjoy [...]

It’s apparently illegal to call a koala Skippy

My parents sent me a giant bag full of little koalas to give to people as presents. You know the whole ‘Hey I’m Australian. Have something Australian that was made in china.’ It’s part of the exchange. You give out little things that are specific for your country.
I gave one to each of my host [...]

Not rubbing it in, just telling you my calender

So tomorrow I’m going away with my host mother to Marseille. It was that or school. Speaking of school, I arrived today and had three tests in a row. I did the Maths one. The others I went through and translated for my teachers. I did have a three hour lunch break of which I [...]

Happy Mother’s Day

So I did send my Mother’s Day present but I don’t think it has arrived yet. Oh the big photo of me in the Mother’s Day post? It’s not conceited. It’s acknowledgement that I look like my mother. I was fiddling around with this photo because my flash went spastic and made it too bright [...]

Chantilly

 
Chantilly is a hunting castle. It’s beautiful and it’s for horses. I’ve never been a big fan of horses just because I’ve never been around them I guess. But even that whole girl phase of ‘I love horses’ I never went through. I went here with my host father from my first family the day [...]
