...in our backyard.
Joep thinks: "what goes up must come down":
"
I don't think so":
"
Okay. Then I start reading a book":
"
It's a thriller by the way":
Meanwhile The Old Lady enjoys live in her own way:
While Bas just likes to sit on a bale of hay, dreaming about what's beyond the horizon:

Great pics, as usual
The topic 'it's holiday' reminds me of my first time off request when I was fairly newt o the US. The paper asked for 'reason to take time off', I wrote 'holiday'. My supervisor crossed it out and wrote 'vacation'. In the US 'holiday' = 'bank holiday', in the UK 'holiday' = 'vacation'.

I learned British English in Germany and was not used to these fine nuances.

We learn Oxford English too, here in Holland.
LOL, sometimes when I hear myself speak english I notice that when I speak to someone from the States I use American words and when I speak to someone from the UK I use british words like the ones I learned.

When I visit with one of my Uncles he becomes frustrated because I speak "American English" instead of "Oxford English."
I think the influx of so many non-English words into the American language would throw him the most! Didn't help that he is re-married to a wonderful woman from Suriname and her "english" is even a great mix.
