I feel Linda is proud of her excellent English... :p
Linda is proud of being able to help a non-native speaker a little :)

Let's face it, few of us who are native speakers write or speak good grammatically correct English most of the time. And* then there are geographic differences between the ways the language is used, e.g. Between the UK and the USA. "Two nations divided by a common language" - George Bernard Shaw

*Mrs Clamp, my grammar school English teacher, will be turning in her grave at the thought of somebody starting a sentence with "And"... so, I do it deliberately still :D I am quite proud of that too!

Me neither.
Or wifey who took the photos and is very proud of them and the view.:(
I'm sulking now.
Wounded pride.:(
:eek: Pride at the expense of others was part of the game, remember? :eek:
I loved pic. 3. The nightly one made me think of dangerous narrow streets, though. o_O Hope Fez is a safe, peaceful place.

Go one step further and start a sentence with "but"! :D

I'm proud of my cat, who knows a good cheese as soon as he smells it. :D
Excellent. :) My friend's spaniel is a cheese-fiend too. You cannot leave cheese unguarded, even on a high surface, when he's about. He is surprisingly agile for a dog!

We're home now. Unpacked and onto the second mug of tea... and going through the post we just found out we got tickets for Wimbledon tennis in the ballot! It's not until July, but I'm really looking forward to that :)

Still sulking.;)
I am happy with wifey walking the streets here after dark.
In most British cities i would be worried.
It"s safe and peaceful, but as with everywhere not 100% and one should be sensible.

I'm proud because while we are camping in the desert I chose a very healthy breakfast over the bagel, lox and cream cheese everyone else ate! Oh, and I only had one beer yesterday !!
That's very hard while camping and sitting around a camp fire!!

Losing weight is an everyday struggle and it's real!!
