Tuesday 16th March

... I think. Went to do one of my own (it's going to be very sporadic ) Since the whales told me that the myfamily is going to be out of use for minions soon, so why not. The title was just something that made me laugh a moment ago when
Nea answered to a question of what she wanted for dinner and said " pornflakes and soddage"- hi hi hi . Anyway.
LOVELy that your stuff has come, SO pleased for you- and not to mention that you seem to have found a really nice friend as well, means so much! Been running around hither and thither these days, hope to perhaps give you a ring tomorrow- today I had another run in with California lovelies; I had DEFINITELY got Leo's date for the dentist today, was getting ready for going off at 6 in the evening, got myself "psyched up "" as they would say here to pay the fee, called up 4 hours before hand to confirm- wouldn't you know that they said that no it had been yesterday (bastards, no chance I would schedule it on a Monday since there is just too much to do on Mondays) and said hope to see you soon in any case, by the way, you owe 180 dollars for the cancellation fee. Now you know how I must have felt today, pissed and double pissed to say the least. I haven't got an email confirmation to prove my innocence, therefore, what can one do?! Excuse me, assholes to say the least. I hate this stupid place. In any case I just wanted to transfer my sorry state on to some poor sibling out there, and must say goodbye I7m afraid- it's late and the kids are running amok to say the least. I have an interview for one of Nea's preschools (parent coop, might be a tad cheaper) on Thursday, hope it goes well- don't know really. Still, I think she really will need something other than one hour classes starting fall, she's so willing to learn and be with other kids. I'll see. In the meantime it's HOT, I mean it ain't Australia but it was 32 degrees in the shade today, it's only just starting to cool down. I hope to attach a couple of pics, one of the Meatloaf or somethingother snapper (there seem to be many species) and brancini Nea was mimicking for Sunday (lovely fish! but I forgot the name, it was SO nice and firm) and probably one of the hummingbird that is sitting in her nest just on the lowest branch of the tree out in the yard, very cute indeed. Oh and one from a Kite flying contest in Redondo but the pics aren't much, what with the people and the angle of the kites .... Judging by what the kids are doing with the paint I might not, it's all luck. Sorry, rather in a depressive state today and just get this posted, so good luck to you all, love love love, XOXOXOXOS
