I did have a bit of a 'saw this and though of you' moment, I must admit :)

I'd like to see the 'Who do you think you are?' that featured them taking your family tree back to there!

I had to laugh at the bit that says: 'Naledi's brain is the size of an orange.' Charming! And he hadn't even met me :)

I was thinking of you this morning (smile)

You are a celebrity now. ;)

[naledi_seren]

lol! Fame at last!

I always wondered about the second part of your name because it is pretty and fits but not really African, lol.

Under five foot tall, a brain the size of am orange, good at climbing trees ...who'd have guessed :D

[naledi_seren]

Actually I'm not that good at climbing trees :)

Btw, something that has made me giggle a bit - our Minister for Science and Technology's first name is Naledi and at least two people have asked in comments to news reports if this was named after her.

There was me thinking that you found your name in some obscure Tolkien work lol Both names go together well.

I thought your hair was blonde????

[naledi_seren]

My hair is blonde, which is good because we all know hominids prefer blondes! Also it means that I don't have to shave so often - the stubble doesn't show :D
