My eldest niece is coming to visit me today!
I haven't seen her for a few years; they live in Indonesia. She's fifteen now. This is gonna be cool!
Making bead jewellry is probably on the agenda.

But hey, something I learned in the past few weeks got put to practice! As she was driving me mad not being able to make a decision about what she'd like to have for lunch, and she said that she wanted to have something that I'd like, I put my hands on her shoulders and said calmly and seriously, that this was my house, and therefore what I've got is stuff that I like, so any choice is fine. No repeat of the incident in November 1998 which caused Annie to declare that I was indecisive...
Choosing the video took a long time too, as I had to pin down what she actually meant by "interesting".
