Tick tick tick...Waiting for the end of my shift to end (approx 1hr 45 minutes) then I am on VACATION!!! Yahoo

I will be spending a wonderful week along the shores of the Northumberland Strait in Nova Scotia (my home province)...a bit of a stay-cation - plans include dinners with friends, bonfires on the beach, reading reading reading, walks along the beach, re-discovering why millions of people around the world come visit my neck of the woods in this great big world!

I expect you're already on holiday now, but have a great time tyme4t!!

Am mulling over the differences between American and English English Tongue

Holiday vs vacation, flat vs apartment, lift vs elevator, etc.

Australian English is a mix of both. I remember watching Hugh Laurie on Ellen once and she played a game with him where they had to guess what words in the other's lingo meant - they both sucked at it, mostly. Because we share so much culture with both countries, we've ended up with a mix. Canadians and New Zealanders are the same, I find.

I saw that too. If it wasn't for my dislike of Ellen, it would've been funny.

Anyway, status: working on the final stages of my new website. Wink

Last Night: Beach Frisbee and long talk with mother with the help of a glass or two of Balvenie 12 year old doublewood single malt whiskey.
This morning: long walk with daughter down beach and through artists enclave.
This afternoon: reading, reading, reading.
Life is good.
