We are all speaking English but.... Instalment 1
Atkins: Baby, have you seen my stockings?
Rachel: Your what?!!!
Atkins: My stockings. I need them for work.
Rachel: For work???!!! [Atkins is a
Police officer]
Atkins: Yes. What is strange about that?
Oh, here they are. [Pulls out a pair of socks]
Rachel: Ohhhh. You call those stockings. We
call those socks. Stockings are something different. Policemen don’t normally
wear them. [Explanation follows.]
(At least I don’t think Policemen usually
wear stockings. Does anyone know?)
For further clarification:
- Headsock = wooly hat/beanie
- Hat = cap
- Hangwire = coathanger
Spontaneous baby sitting
I asked to hold Faith, the neighbour's gorgeous baby. One hour later she was still with me and wasn't too sure where her mum had gone. Now that's clever parenting!
Domestic bliss
This is how we do the dishes (Pezo is helping me)
And this is how you cook beans. We buy them dried then do this, because canned ones are super expensive. We cook them on the brazier (which is the only cooking device many people here have - we have an oven too thank goodness) because it takes ages on the stove, and electricity is expensive. This is cheaper.
