"My binnie lies over the sea... My binnie lies over the ocean... Oh bring back my binnie to me..." (Apologies to all Scottish for the misappropriation of lyrics from "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean")
Now... imagine that the ocean/sea is made of living room carpet... and the binnie... is... a bin (of waste paper type)... lying annoyingly out of reach!
Adrianna was stumped by my speech... and went in search of... a beanbag... and came back with my laptray (which has a beanbag underbase)... Smart thinking...! (Especially since it wasn't that far from lunchtime :D)
Translation errors (totally understandable with only 1 weeks practice at it!) were soon overcome by a bit of pointing... (at the required object!)...
But... since my NAME (Elspeth) is Scottish... I was tempted to wonder whether I had inadvertantly picked up a slight Scottish brogue to my ahem original (as in unique) "accent". The wondering was short lived... as I think Aunty Liz (of true Scottish blood) would say nae!
