ISBN 1-55337-796-6 Mixed Beasts. Verses by Kenyon Cox (1856-1919) illustrated by the modern Canadian artist Wallace Edwards. Highly recommended for all parents with the particular sense of absurdity. Your child will learn a lot about The Bumblebeaver, Pelicantelope, Octopussycat etc.. I wonder if the title of one of the Bond movies had to remind the spectators of their childhood? ;) What would the specialists say? So, The Peanuthatch comes from the same delirious collection, so this word and its Russian very cultural :) translation have became another nick of Claudiuccia ("Aque" derives from "wuzique", which derives from "popolzen'" - the Russian for "nuthatch").



I have returned to my in-car lessons. "John" (he's as John as I am Zeinab) likes to drive on Lime Ridge (a city district, actually the canyon over the city), I still need his help driving down the hill. :(



Before the New Year thought of learning Swahili. Just for fun, to be able to overhear :) somebody's conversation in this language or understand a song. Recently my boss was talking about a tutor of Italian for me, my boss will pay for the lessons. Most recently :) baten'ka D.R. has provoked me to take an exam to become a UN Chinese translator. :tease4: I'm very grateful to him :hi2: and completely agree with the idea of "tickling the nerves". This should be a thrilling experience, huh? I'll have lots of stories to tell. So now I have to write a composition on "why it is important to save the world, bananas and, perhaps, pygmies as well". The problems are only about my Italian and Swahili. :)
