January 11th 2007 = Day 1so
January 11th 2008 = ???
This equation has been troubling me on and off for some time. So for all those who think today should be Day 366 or Year 2 Day 1 or whatever - sorry. I decided on "years.days" with "Day" for old-times' sake.
A group of us from work went out for lunch today. At the end of the meal there was the usual scramble for the correct cash for each person to pay their (equal) share of the bill. Today 5 people managed to have the right money(or get change). I borrowed $10 and then could pay. Two others managed to pay together with a couple of dollars to be sorted out at a later date. Finally, one of my colleagues recently arrived back from the UK managed to sell 10 Euros to a US colleague about to go on a business trip to the Euro-zone. It's usually a bit complicated, but this is getting silly.
Talking of silly, we found out the answer to the question I asked about how Exile #3's classmates would respond if she told them about In the Night Garden. Today, she managed to talk three of them into doing a play based on said show for the rest of the class. As far as I can work out the play was even less fathomable than the TV programme - partly due to only two of the four of them having seen the source material, but predominantly due to the absence of Derek Jacobi (or a stand-in) to talk about The Ninky Nonk, Igglepiggle and the Tombliboos as if they are perfectly normal.
As you can see Exile #2 prepared a little anniversary celebration. You can see how it went here.
Love the video.
ReplyDeleteSo... romantic! The kids will treasure this in years to come. Now: you have set a standard. We expect more time lapse Exile Antics.
I think the video would be even better with something like this as the soundtrack...

Thank you both.
ReplyDeleteMarcus - since you've been reminding us for the last 12 years about finding us in the months before our wedding having a romantic night playing Scrabble you can hardly be surprised.
BigBrother - the URL just produced a single saxophonic barp, but I like this MIDI version of your suggestion - and you're quite right it would have added something.
