How wonderful to hear from you!
It' been almost exactly a year!
CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !
Well done, my friend, that's wonderful news.
Hope to hear more from you over the holiday season.
All busy getting ready for the holiday season here, wifey and I are well and having a great time as usual, Tidgy is still a wonderful pest and is in the TFO calendar for a third successive year.
Life's Good! :D
Awww! I’m glad you’re doing well and I’m just as glad I’m back. Have fun and keep us posted <3

Actually the vast majority this far south survived.
Up a little further north. @CharlieM had most if his pond guppies die due to cold. But mine survived.
He had given me a few hundred beautiful ones and I placed them indoors in a heated tank. But at least 8 got poured into my pond with some duckweed and two Ranchu goldfish that he also gave me.
It never got below 45 here. And it wasn't sustained.
I have seen a lot of dead iguanas. But not enough to dent the breeding colonies.
Booooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(to the lack of snuffed iguanas, not to your fish surviving)
And boooooooooooooooo to the death of @CharlieM 's fish.
Really sorry to hear this, Charlie.:(

And welcome back!!!

Thanks, darling. I was really stressed when it came to applications. I decided to write my application essay about giving flowers to strangers in NYC. Apparently, they liked it. :<3::<3::<3:

Hey people! Sorry haven’t been online since forever. Long story, I’ve been busy. I’ve been working and writing intensely since I left. I’ve only taken the past two summers off. I spent them both in the US. The summer of 2016 was some in Philadelphia. I stayed with family friends, and it was really fun. Then, I spent the summer of 2017 in New York City. I spent the summer at the St. Regis, and it was heavenly. I made a lot friends, quite a few of which I’ll see at university. This leads me to the following. I’ve been super, super busy with college applications these past few months. Something truly life changing happened this Thursday at 7:00 PM EST. At exactly that time, I opened my laptop. It was Friday, 4:00 AM in Dubai. I clicked on “Application Status Update”.


An acceptance letter from Columbia University.


I am truly honored to have such an opportunity, and I wanted to say thank you for providing me with support when I needed it. I’ll try to be more active on here, seeing that I’m less busy right now.

Right now, I’m celebrating the acceptance in Madrid with family.

How’s everyone been doing? Any major changes?

That is so awesome!!!
Congratulations to you!!!

Good evening all. I am finally back home in the relative warmth of Kent (+7C and no snow here :D )

It’s been a long drive. Tomorrow we can start Christmas [emoji319] and the decorations will go up (too tired tonight).

Came home to lots of cards including a lovely one from @Laura1412. Thank you Laura :) x
