病了

Telepest

英国有一个很奇怪，又让人生气的现象

不懂怎么搞的，常常有一些贷款公司呀、杂志公司呀等等的

打手机和家里的电话打广告

很多还是预录音的

接到这种电话真的令人火滚

连我在班公室也常收到这样的email和电话

开始时我并不怎么介意

但后来因为次数越来越频密了

我和小华开始懒得接家里的电话了

在手机上显示的来电号码如果是不忍得的我们也不接了

死Telepest不要再打电话来吵老娘了！

小脚

今天到茶间用去把午饭‘丁’烧顺便再冲杯咖啡的时候
突然站在我对面的一个讲师称赞我脚上穿的靴子漂亮(穿了那么久还是第一次被人发现它漂亮)
女人总不能站在一起说有关衣服鞋子的事
从本来两个人的对谈， 很快的就吸引了另5-6个女人的加入
一伙人把茶间的门给堵住了


因为那一位讲师是个香港人，人比较娇小， 脚也当然长得比较小
她对我说能买到鞋子真好，她想找一对称心的鞋子都难，更何况是靴子
我还以为在英国4号鞋号算小的了，而且穿起4号走路的时候，鞋子还是会从脚跟溜下去
她竟然告诉我们她穿2号半的鞋子
天呀！怪不得她埋怨找不到鞋子
我明白她的苦衷


英国的鞋子通常都回出到最小4号，比较有来头的牌子会出到3号
我的脚就介于4号至4号半之间，买什么号码就必须看买什么鞋子
如果是买pumps的话，我会选择4号
如果是boots或walking shoe、sport shoe之类的，我会选择4号半至5号
只要穿了不会掉，我还是比较喜欢鞋子里有很多空间


我算蛮幸运的 4号鞋子不是这里人最常买的鞋号
所以要找鞋子的话我绝对不会面上没有我的鞋号的问题
哪想在大马的时候，5号鞋子常断世
看到漂亮的鞋子又买不到 让人咬牙又咬舌


对这里的人来说
我的脚形是三寸金莲
对我来说
她们的脚才是巨人脚

Chile Mine Collapsed

Posted this up in my FB last night while BBC was reporting the rescue team was about to send 'Phoenix II' into the passage, however I have forgotten to upload it to my blogspot...

My Second Trip to Malham (24 Sep 2010)

The school organizes field trip for freshers every year . It always fall on the last day of induction week (Friday for sure). The group went to Malham last year. I was eager to follow but nothing was more important than welcoming my cousin sister who came to visit me from Malaysia.

Although I have been to Malham with hubby in March last year, I was very keen to go again with the group. From 4 coaches went down to 3 (most didn't turn up due to overslept), the coaches took off at 9am sharp. I hate to say this, I think BBC weather is not dependable. However, the weather forecast was quite precise on that day, it was windy and cold when we first arrived, then sunny in the late morning.

Besides helping and guiding the kids, I aimed to take more photos of Malham this time. I realised I can't go any where without hubby now, I felt like I am handicap without him. I have to be extra careful when climbing up and down the rocks as I know no one will be watching my back like hubby always do.

Malham seems to be more beautiful in Autumn than in Spring. Love the romantic color of falls.






Have to stay back to keep the headcount.









Not sure what these two geologist were chatting about, but I guess it must be relevant to ROCKS! People in my department love to talk about ROCKS!






Apart from taking care of the students and snapping photos for myself, I was assigned by Bernice to bring Hrithik Roshan (her Bollywood 'Jayhoo' idol) to Malham too!



Hey Hrithink, where are you going? You better come back dude! If I don't bring you back to Leeds, your owner will definitely chop me into pieces!



A staff was giving 'lecture'. Where else could be a better place to share information about earth?



Walking into the woods.















Breathtaking scenery...





















I am not sure what this bunch of people were doing, some how they said it has something to do with analyzing rocks that ware formed in dinosaur era. Please don't expect me to know all these, I am psychologist, not geologist!









I fully respect Phil for his expertise in underwater cave study. Apart from his job as a researcher and teaching staff in University of Leeds, he dives and rescues people who are trapped in the underwater cave too. Some said sometimes Phil has to pull corpse from the cave when rescue was too late to reach.
