It is the thing where every shop is the same that gets me. And the dogs. <br /><br />Amy - you won't be jealous of our weather this week. It is forecast to go from 32 to snow in less than 4 days. And everyone will get sick. Happens every year.<br /><br />Mwa - I do feel if they are going to have TV then I might as well have them at home. Drives me nuts. But the nursery does stay open until 9pm so maybe it is for the later kids... <br /><br />Anon - ah hah! Jam surely.<br /><br />NVG - Bless them all. We have some colourful characters around here.<br /><br />Siobhan - Jam it is then. As long as it isn't too difficult to do.<br /><br />WDA - I'm not exagerrating, the whole town is talking about it. Snow is due on Thursday. I'll let you know if it actually happens but either you will need to wrap up warm as the 30C plus temps of last week are GONE! Let me know if you fancy a coffee whilst you are up here. We might even be able to do a cup of PG.Dorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519883976018465014.post-10690029287693787722009-10-09T22:33:24.925+02:002009-10-09T22:33:24.925+02:00Just read your note to the weather.

That is so random and bizarre! <br /><br />And, honestly, loved all the letters that gave me some insight into expat life in Bosnia. Oh, yeah, and I am jealous of your warm weather....

They park on them though of course...<br />Weather is fab here in this neck of the woods, & winters thankfully short. My son was in shorts till Dec 1st last yr.<br />My daughter's nursery had a tv on ALL THE TIME in on eroom. She was urprsingly creative & even drew pics x 12 for the kids to colour in<br />& didn't hit the kids either. But the TV.. My daughter watched all mornings some days when there were no American kids there & she cdn't understand anything the ALbanian kids said to her so she just watched the tv.<br />We always watch dvds under blankets cos of teh cold apartments. Also useful for wimpish me to hide during gory bits etc;o)<br />Entrepreneurs- cd do wth some here. Here it's cafe cafe cafe, FRUIT shop, cafe cafe cafe. All teh street sellers group together too selling exactly the same stuff.<br />It seems to be 'spring' for street dog shere ie LOADS of street puppie sveerywhere3 at presen twhich is stressing my son, who is depserate for a pet. He wants to open a dogs home for street dogs in the park. Maybe that's one for the entrepreneurs..(wdn't make much money tho...) They shoot dogs here too.<br />Loved the thing abt yr square in Tuzla. Recently the PM here announced that he thought Albania would 'adopt the euro soon' How very kind of him. A journalist writign about this pointed out that actually you need to be invited & so not to start printing new currency quite yet.
