Comments on: Leaving Scotland http://travel.shels.net/2006/03/leaving-scotland The life and adventures of Reuben, Shelley and Timshel Mon, 26 Jun 2006 11:09:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Shelley http://travel.shels.net/2006/03/leaving-scotland#comment-9 Shelley Tue, 21 Mar 2006 13:31:57 +0000 http://travel.shels.net/2006/03/leaving-scotland#comment-9 Bronny, I think the weird bits that you were reading in the blog have got to do with how your internet-reading software (the browser) reads the html code. Or it may have my fault-error in code; a reassuringly human touch methinks! but more importantly, YAAAAAAAaaaY holidays for you! hope they bring much fun! tell me of your adventures. Shalome, I have wonderful hippy visions of you sweating about melbourne in an alpaca wool beanie with a big gold nose ring. reading arabic texts on the tram on your way to lonely planet, coming home to make arabic coffee for your artist/musician housemates. ahhh to be young and arty. Great to hear your news! Bronny, I think the weird bits that you were reading in the blog have got to do with how your internet-reading software (the browser) reads the html code.

I hope that all is going well in sunny england (hehe) and that the obliging conductor was the only one to dampen your little spirits - never let anyone bully you into thinking you might have to walk - unless of course you'd like to, many poles I know certainly do. I am having great fun - snowed ten feet under with Arabic texts which I am meant either to summarise or translate, and seem to be spending a great percentage of my time wrestling with my dictionary - despite there being three other subjects which I am also meant to read for, and have interesting questions for the tutorials. my nose stud is growing on me and already i am thinking of getting a new one, gold mabye:-). work is more hastle than a joy - spending long hours commuting to uni and back, and having to engage with that peculiar language for hours on end dont make a friday ofof data entry and telephone answering look very appealing. nevertheless, money has to be earnt somehow. My battles with centrelink continue. this house is a gem. a real gem. it is big and airy, warm when it wants to be, cool if treated the right way. i am loving it. loving the freedom and yet the togetherness of the household. Well, this was meant to be a short one...i should have written an email... hugs all round (i'm going to wear a beany in solidarity!) hi there shelley, your posts are wonderful – very illustrative, very charming.

And then I realised it was an apostrophe ... is it a different keyboard? Anyway, it is fun hearing bits and bobs about your travels, so please keep on singing loud into that microphone. love Bronwen hey Shelley, I’m reading too – I don’t often feel that I have anything relevant/interesting to add… but today I spent quite some time wondering what 't meant (can you tell that school hols have started?) – was this some code for rude words(almost fits with the contexts in which it occurs)? or some other symbolic language that I should be able to “read”?
