Exhausted, relieved, happy, feverish . . . all assessments completed and parents´ evening out of the way.  Just the small matter of supervising the sawing of 60 wooden axle rods by my lovely 5 and 6 year olds.  Oh what fun!! 

Excited too!  Istanbul here I come . . .

Reflective

It´s a bit lonely in here today!!

 No one to talk to / argue with?

When I came earlier there was only 4 or 5 people here!

I guess I could just pick a fight with you!

 Be my guest canim..... (you´ll loo-hoose!!   )

 Impossible.....cloggies can´t fight!  You are very timid and shy people!

 Mooodddddd! This is an insult!!!

 She´s mad!!!  Has she SEEN the damage you can do with your clogs????   The ´clogs of war´  

 I highly doubt that clogs are used at weapons of mass destruction!  Can you just imagine if the Americans had to fight off the Dutch..."The cloggies are coming....run, hide.....they will smack you down with one blow from a windmill!"    (Just kidding Trudy....you know I love you cloggies!!)
