I was in the Health shop with Robbi and the girls the other day and they were trying on hats. I asked the girl if she had a mirror. She looked puzzled and said 'What's that?" I said, "Something to look at their relflection in!"
"oh, you mean a meera!"
Spook is getting to grips with the language better than me, being a bit more embroiled in things up at the works. He said to Pete today,"She's a pretty big job! I'll need to get a bloke in" And Pete said, reassuringly "You'll be right" (which was actually a bit hopeful for a job that probably wont be alright). And Spook says "You reeckon?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTWjG4n19GM (or google Youtube - mitre ten sandpit ad.
I did catch myself saying "yees" the other day, which is how my boss Mary, indicates the affirmative. And when I said at the hairdresser that I wanted to know how much grey hair I had, she didn't know what I meant. I should have said 'gri' (as in eye).
So please be gentle on me when I come home as things are changing without us meaning to.
Spook and I are negotiating to a new home for the winter. Max and Michaela's old house, which is ramshackly with a wood-burner and heat pump and plenty beds, plus a spare toilet. We've done pretty well here, with sometimes 11 people and one toilet, but two would be good.
Meanwhile, if you are managing the you tube - put in a search for 'mitre ten classroom advert'.
