Maybe he will come and help my husband design a windmill for our house?

I’ll be sure to stop by your blog more often.

Best,

Given that I don't have a handle on mine, it seemed obscure enough.<br/><br/>As for my kids' language, I am sad to report that French is now their first language, although they slip between the two with no problem. They tend not to like being with me when I need to speak to someone in French because of my horrible accent. I don't like to tell them that I've also got a terrible accent when I speak English.<br/><br/>And don't worry, there is a piano and a guitar in the house. ..

Oh, okay, I know I'm terrible for doing that.<br/><br/>Give your son a pat on the head for me, and then buy him a guitar or a piano.<br/><br/>BTW, I've been fascinated by this for a long time. Does he speak English as a first language or French? My kids in the US speak Yank, which pleases me not a jot. I suppose at least you can understand them. Qui est obscure?

All hail energy saving light bulbs - apart from that piss poor bit where they are “warming up” and you trip over and fall down the stairs - all hail solar panels…. wind farms…. compost……

You'll have to teach him that politicians want you to "do as they say, not as they do" so he doesn't have to make you so energy conscious at home...<br/><br/>Funny about the obscure song references in post titles - I do that a lot myself!
