Hi.

I know, I know, it's been ages, I suck. Let me make it up to you by getting you addicted to Free Rice. I already am - it's a terrific way to learn and/or test yourself, do a good deed and have fun/driving yourself nuts at the same time. Awesome. And yay - it does come in handy having studied Latin!

And let me ask you this. How is it possible not to love a language that has words like 'bulwark' and my absolute favourite, 'logorrhea' ('talkativeness')?

I realised something yesterday. One of my presents were socks, and I got totally happy. I mean, proper sports socks to wear while jogging! And then I thought, wow, I really must be grown up if I get this happy about socks. That's a very grown-up present to get.
