Nice to see you here :) One of the best parts of being an expat is seeing the different "feels" to the same holidays, isn't it?

I've finished my school obligations and now have to kick up my freelance work, but today, I'm just catching up with whatever I please, and until June 1, I'm reading whatever I please - no classics for school and no detective novels/research for work. Yay. I hope you and P are enjoying the mountains and beach.

I couldn't even enjoy the weekend on a beach knowing the graminia continued to burrow under the flowers while I was away.
