I love that you know your sign so well. And zucchini bread is pretty yummy (to use the "y" in the meme).
ReplyDeleteOh-that horrid spider is going to haunt me!
ReplyDeleteDo you find that the South African accent is similar to Australian? I find whenever I am mistaken and identify an accent as Australian, 9 times out of 10 it's really South African.
ReplyDeleteNo Bev, there are very little similarities between an Australian and South African accent. It's easier to mix up Australians with New Zealanders, not South Africans. South Africans sound Dutch.
ReplyDeleteThe YouTube was hilarious! Thank you. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I do mix up New Zealand and South African accents. I was told by a South African that all these accents were called Southern accents by the Brits. Anywai, surfers are from eeevrywhear.
A long time friend has a very mild Australian accent, as she went to some sort of boarding school and learned, she said, an almost different language!
All Southern accents are lovely to me, even the ones in the States. Bless my heart. *pats own head*
