Morning starshine!
well, it's about four in the morning here. and this is probably the only time i'll get to write for the next week.
the family (nick included) is going to the orkneys.
Nick's gaelic is coming along well...actually it really isn't. It's horrible, bloody terrible! he's so embarrassed to speak it in front of anyone.
Today, at the market Mum tried to get Nick to ask the woman for peaches. he was so nervous that instead of asking if she had any peaches in season he asked "whether her pears were shiny".
It had me Mum and I laughing hours later. he was so upset about it (it was adorable). i spent the afternoon comforting him. And he refused to speak any more Gaelic. Mum was working with him right before he went to sleep though.
all of these sentences probably sound completely mental but it's damned early so it's a bit exusable.
I'm going to bed now.
Night, mo leannan.
