Birthdays, Zims and Dolls
It was my second grandaughter, Rachel's, 7th birthday today.
Hopefully I will have a couple of epic pics to post tomorrow if her mom gets them to me in time.
Hint hint, Mel.
We also had a young Zimbabwean man, his wife and 5 year old child move into our flat today for a while.
They were chased out of their place in Masiphumelele during the xeno-madness and do not want to risk going back.
And I end on a mad note.
I met an 80-something woman today at a birthday party - and in conversation I found out that she had two dolls when she was little.
(Don't ask how the conversation got there - I have NO idea!)
Here's the mad bit - her doll's names were:
No 1: Zackamonda Coral Deflayta
No 2: Serah Rina Daylight
(Say them out loud - they have a ring to them.)
My dolls were called:
No 1: Big Doll
No 2: New Doll
I feel strangely dimished

Hi, My mum bought me a doll for Christmas every year that I can remember and I only ever wanted the same doll - tiny tears. So I had an impressive collection and they were all called Sarah! Now what does that say about me? LOL
Not quite sure what it says about you, Jo - except that you make me laugh and that you are an original. . .
Thank God for originals!
So glad you popped in to visit me!
