A bit sad...
As anyone who reads this regularly knows, I enjoy playing with my blogshares. Recently all of the hot tops have been, well, hot. I have a personel rule that I check out the blogs before I buy the shares. I don't bother anymore. I hope they'll have some good wholesome writing again before long.

Carina Martin
I don’t know who this lady is, but for several years now we’ve been receiving National Statistics magazine in her name at our address. It’s a great magazine for snippets for lessons and just an interesting read.
This month there was a letter about the very first bug in a computer, you can see it here. The letter was written because of a fascinating article about Admiral Hopper. One of the first geeks perhaps? In the nicest possible way.

The return of the Xbox
While we were in England, Olivier bought four new Xbox games. They are cheaper in the UK Unfortunately we were away for two weeks, two weeks is a long time to wait when you’re 13. When we arrived home the first thing Olivier did was get out the new games and turn on the beloved box. The drawer jammed. He was very good about it. He got straight on to Microsoft and thanks to the guarantee, organized collection and repairs. Rob and I were so relieved, we didn’t need to do a thing!
The Xbox came home today, two weeks later.

He ain’t here
Mike and Hélène will be marrying in New York next week. All the papers have come through on time.
Olivier spends a lot of time hanging round (you can’t really say playing when you’re talking about 13 and 14 year olds) with Hélène’s brother, Fabien. Last week Mike’s mother phoned and Fabien answered. As he didn’t understand a word she said he passed her to Olivier. Olivier’s knowledge of American English comes from '50 cents' and Ice hockey games. “He ain’t here” he told her. My son is so charming.
