High on the list of lousy jobs – Human Punching Bag

This article helps make sense of why I tell boring stories. I’m sure Kate will agree…

Scientific study shows older people tell longer, more boring stories.

Which one doesn’t fit?

We are in Rome this weekend. Not for a honeymoon, just for a weekend away! The Roman empire was amazing. They built some of the most advanced buildings of their time and were years ahead of anyone else when it comes to plumbing. So. Why are there no public toilets in Rome? Photos to come – but not of toilets that’s for sure!

A shop in Paris. I don’t know that they knew of the movie to which I refer to though.

Any guesses where we are?

I’m sure this won’t be the first time.

The boy sometimes uses nonsense words to describe things. And we, rightfully, correct him and tell him “that’s a made up word”.

Recently, at dinner, he was saying “merhaba”. And we told him “that’s a made up word”. And he said “no, it’s Turkish”. Well, he’s used that line on us before, saying that he was speaking Chinese, when it was pretty clear that he wasn’t.

But at dinner a few days later, he repeated the word and again said it was Turkish.

So we looked it up on Google Translate.

Merhaba == Hello! (in Turkish)

After a wonderful banquet some of us are just enjoying the setting sun in front of the Chateau. It has been a lovely week and there are more things to do still! more photos to come once we return.
