I Figured out how to see pictures that don't open. Hit "reply" then when the post shows up in your reply box, click on the attachment link. picture opens right up!!! In Abd ulla's cathedral post the pictures were just a bunch of non clickable numbers, but when I clicked on the link in Mooz's reply they opened!!!

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?



fantastic!! well done

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

How sweet!
She'll learn with practice.
Probably.:)
On a good note today. Aunty is on a roll. She laid another egg. Her timing is spot on as she was finishing as I came home from work. And she got it right this time. Egg was laid and covered properly in her hole. I have left this one alone as it should be safe from my dog.

I did not take a pic of the egg as I did not want to disturb her. I also had my hands full of bags etc. But here is a pic of the egg she laid yesterday. That one I am sure was her first egg ever because she dug a hole and then laid the egg on top of the ground completely missing the hole. That one I did take inside because I did not want my dog getting it. 20171217_163925.jpg
