Tribulations and Accents
So, I must apologize again for not posting more often. I want our blog to be very honest about our experiences here, but there are some subjects that are simply too private to post on a website for the whole world to see. A lot of great stuff has been happening, of course, but my mind has been preoccupied these past couple of weeks with some not-so-great ”private matters”. Things might be looking up a bit, though…anyway, enough of that.
Once I get my head in the right place and can exercise some self-discipline, I’ll start writing about the day-to-day type stuff (because I know you’re all waiting with bated breath to read about me going to the grocery store). Also, we’ve decided to go out to a different local restaurant (in either East Finchley or Muswell Hill) each week, so you can expect some restaurant reviews/experience reports.
Also, Simone officially started school full-time 2 weeks ago. She came home the very first day and was talking with an accent…although “accent” isn’t quite the right word. She speaks with her typical American accent, but when she asks a question she uses British emphasis and inflection. It’s hard to describe the difference, you’ll just have to hear it for yourself. Maybe I’ll post a video of her doing it. The first couple of days of school, I’m pretty sure Simone asked me about a million questions just for the sole purpose of talking in this new way. It was cute…the first 2 times. Fotunately, the number of questions have subsided (somewhat) and she is now genuinely talking this way all the time. So, that makes it cute again (sometimes).
