That was a surprise, I wasn't expecting to hear from you for the next two weeks :-) Not quite mummy/daddy's girl..no :-), My parents moved to the U.S after my sister and I moved. I then left for Seattle and my sister has now moved to San Franciso. I'd rather have them where I can keep an eye on them than in L.A..it's too much of an urban jungle for them to live there permanently..besides, I no longer have to live with microwave dinners and Pasta in various colours, shapes and sizes...I have the benefit of having home cooked meals when I go over to their place :-)..not the domesticated, quiet Nepali girl you see (little wonder then that I am on my way to the gumbas :-))!! The lake country eh? Sounds rather splendid actually. I am determined to make it there for the Spring '07 semester so maybe i'll have the opportunity to make these forays into the highlands and the lake country as well..might your forays into the highlands have more to do with a certain Lass or the prospect of a very becomming Lass than the scenery, commandant? :-) A Scot you say?..A la Connery? I love the fact that he was knighted sporting a very visible "Scotland foreover" tattoo. I better get going but hopefully, will see you later. Have a good week.
