I am trawling Mr. Internet looking for a book called 'al kitaab fii ta'allum al-arabiyya' (Textbook for Arabic) by one Kristen Brustad. It is expensive. I want a cheapy one, I don't want DVDs, just grammar, lovely grammar, in ENGLISH, please God!
Okay, found one!
I just realised I don't need books with exercises and stuff - all I need is a book of fus'ha grammar. Ack. I need to hurry up and buy it so it gets sent home so baya can bring it when he comes, inshallah. But now I need to look for grammar book O_O
Arrrgh why can't it be simple? Just like Egyptians. In order to get from A to B, Egyptians will go via F, take a detour at P, u-turn at T, reverse back to H....etc, etc. They just don't know how to go from A...to B.
Now I need to email Dad and baya.
Also: Hello Elizabeth!! How are you?
And John, can you ask Jo (if she's back) if she's developed the photos yet? There should be two cams-worth, and I hope she got in people who couldn't come in on my last day. If it's not too much trouble, could you get her to pop the lot into the post, addressed to my house, so my brother can bring them when he comes? And I hope she had a good time in Australia!
Aww, I miss my job :(

Hello! Hello! Hello!
I miss you. You won't be there when I get home. What shall I do?
hello there, I am fine, still enjoying part time work, and wondering if I should start some part time study! Am I mad? Work misses you, but we do have some very nice new members of staff. I went on retreat to Northern Ireland last month and had a wonderful time, very quiet and spiritual. It has helped me to be more centred and more in touch with God, a great blessing. Now that I'm back in busy central London I have to try and hold on to those things. Take care, and enjoy this time. God bless:)
Oh dear I haven't been on here so didn't see the bit about posting photos which I saw in the staff room. Yes Jo is back looking very brown. David's Catie had a Caesarian. Baby photos are adorable - Jack Michael Behn 6 pounds. Thank goodness he is not going to be called Jack Daniel after all! Calix has settled in well - he is very different to David who I miss. We miss you but the new staff are good. Liz and I had a wonderful time in Greece in the steps of St Paul and how we needed a holiday! It is great to actually be at the places Paul visited and have open air Masses. Meteora monasteries were awe inspiring and such a nice group many of whom we know. Life goes on but I do get these waves of sadness especially when I think I must tell Dad that or Mum would love that! Had my healthcheck - of course I'm fit - swimming every day does that. Doctor says you must not retire - something wrong there - she is supposed to say you ought to retire! Keep smiling!
