It is bittersweet nearing the end, Thank Goodness you have another one coming up soon!
Band-aid is a brand name we use generically to mean a type of item -- I looked this up it's called a proprietary eponym We would say band-aid for a bandage, Kleenex for a tissue, Chapstick for lip balm...I'm sure you have some in the UK, too
I do love that walk from RPR to CityWalk. It's so peaceful now we aren't jumping out of the way of the bike cabs...but of course I'd welcome them back, too.
I'm so glad you had a proper goodbye with the lounge staff. You are like family! And of course you really can't start the day with too much bubbly! I've decided this year for the holidays we will have pineapple mimosas as I've discovered I'm fond of them. I might be talked into trying some new juices as well. Mimosas are always appropriate
I hope you are surviving the heat. I never watch our news but caught a minute yesterday and they were covering the heat wave you are enduing. You must be secretly pleased as punch!
Oh we have some huge differences in words.....we speak the same language but in very different ways at times. Mention fanny pack to a 12 year old boy/girl and you`ll be met with huge muffled giggles......lol.......
biscuits = cookies
coriander = cilantro
rubber = eraser
aubergine = eggplant
nappy = diaper
jugs = pitcher
courgette = zucchini
candy floss = cotton candy
To name a few.......there are thousands......and potty is a word only used when dealing with toilet training a tot!!!
And telling someone they have nice jugs is acceptable here.....
Don`t miss the pedi cabs at all. They are handy at times though.......lol.....
The morning mimosas are the best way to start a day....any day!! The cranberry one looked nice, we make a Christmas cocktail with champagne, cranberry juice, pomegranite juice or grenadine and a christmas flower......nice! Yes, we love the staff there.
Oh blink and you`d miss it.....heatwave is gone now, lasted 4 days all in. Although it`s still not cold, just more what we`re used to here in the UK this time of year! Apart from yesterday afternoon when it was just too excessive, it`s been ok for us. Some haven`t fared so well though and we still have loads of grass fires around. Mainland Europe is so much worse than the UK though.
Glad you`re all caught up....hope you`re not working too hard and have some lovely weather too...
