A new day, a new story

To sufferers of WAAD, it is not uncommon to interrupt any group conversation or meeting with a new anecdote. This just in:

"My son has taught his friends how to say 'I am tired and I want to go to bed' In Italian.

"So he and his friends say that in class and the teacher has no idea what they are saying ... cheeky bugger."

The apple is 18 and a first-year law student. And not rolling very far.

A new agent, a new day.

I'm off to see a 4-bed apartment now.  It's near the Truc Bach lake area but I fear it's too big, even taking into account my recent weight gain.

Breakfast conversation with my Vietnamese colleague:

"You should eat more. That is not enough."

Me: "No. It's enough. I am getting too fat eating all the time in the hotel."

"Oh. Yes. Fat. Probably this is enough."
