all gone!

The above is one of Simon's favourite expressions at the moment. Along with "more!" (meaning "I want ...."), "please!" (thanks to nursery!), "down", "up", "book" ... and names of various people, which he shouts out apparently randomly, though perhaps he suddenly thought of them for some reason.

Anyway, I originally started this post to say that I had my last Hebrew exam last Monday, and Marc and I managed to get all our assignments in by Friday's deadline ... so now we are free as birds! Or at least free to go to our last two weeks of lectures, feeling sorry for our poor lecturers who have to carry on lecturing while also trying to get all our assignments marked and second-marked by the end of term.

We even went out on Saturday afternoon, to a garden centre near here which has a mini-zoo (mainly farmyard animals) and a miniature railway. At the zoo Simon saw his first turkey - these being his favourite creatures in his farm book - and rode on his first steam engine. He is quite a fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, and it's nice to think that he now knows that steam engines do exist outside books! Here are a couple of photos:
