Hey..

Right, the latest and best news, is that i have been promoted...

Later on in the day I was told that i got the job... really happy about it... a lot more work.. a lot more stuff to do, more responsability... but i'm pleased...

Also a very good friend of mine told me he is now a dad.. which is really good news.. I'm so happy for both of them. Its a little girl, and hopefully i'll see her photo soon... I bet she is gorgeous.

Friends.... quotes by Anon

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words"



"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it's only by this meeting that a new world is born."

You

music and Lyrics

by Nuno Bettencourt

A certain scent in the summertime

Of yesteryear, that would remind

Daydream on a rainy day

Favorite tune the D.J. played

Sunbeam through a window pane

Black and white captured in a frame

A baby's smiling does to mother's face

But more than all of the above

Some of the things that I'm thinking of

Reminding me, how much I love you

Snowstormin' on a Monday mourn

Hot chocolate keeping, keeping me warm

Kiss goodnight and tucked in safe

Waking up then sleeping late

Good old days remember when

Distant call from an old friend

A baby's smiling does to mother's face

But more than all of the above

Some of the things I'm thinking of

Reminding me how much I love you

Return of the snakebites..... :p

Hey,

Because we havent been living in London for long enough and we feel the need to continuously behave like a 15 year old, guess where we have been spending our valued saturday afternoons? The Walkabout, watching rugby-South Africa vs Australia ( SA won both matches, hence the proud display of the bok t'shirt.... -i know, i know we're so mature.... :p ), drinking shit loads of snakebite ( y? oh, y? do we torture ourselves) . We drunk more snakebite than i can actually care to remember... not good at all...

Its been fun, i still don't understand rugby 100% but its a bit more bearable than cricket, so cant really complain, and its nice to spend time with these guys....

Nothing more to add for the time being...

Keep smiling,

Isabel
