"I got mail!" (& other tales)

Two blogposts in one day to mark the occasion of the First Post. 

First up,

I can now charge like an American.

No more plug swapping between phone & laptop. Hurrah!

But far more interestingly, 

I got sisterly post from England! 

The Customs label declared "fancy goods". 
A very worthy description of my Gift/Cadeaux.

As if this not the cutest wee 'gifty-gift' ever?!   :D

Words of the week:  

- Suspenders  (braces, 

         although "Sock Suspenders" are garters, which sort of figures.)

- Inner-sole, as in Insole - again, same but different.

Confusingly, Sue does refer to a handbag as a handbag and not a purse. And tights happen to co-exist here, alongside panty-hose (more of a stocking), when I thought that they didn't. 

- Faucet, as in Tap.

I'm still holding out on Kitchen Roll. The roommates will be Educated.

Is "Have a good one!" a standard farewell greeting? My linguistic memory fails me. It seems to fit right alongside the bright & breezy "have a Nice day!" I certainly heard it here last week & found myself deploying it today, before taking a long, hard sideways glance at myself. Worrying.

M. will likely be here in... seventeen days. Yay. Talking & texting in Real Time is quite something. Better phrased as "a bit surreal (in the most wonderful way!)"  There's still a logistical element to our communications whilst we work to make our juxtaposed working hours intersect & find time to talk. But an imminent visit! Can't wait.  :)
