I am so busy I can't even think straight!!! Its spring time, so I've added to my already busy life landscaping and gardening duties. But, I do get more sunlight, so that's good. Well, before I get too whiney, I have picked up a new habit that I am spending some spare time on, after reading "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo" in three days, ( I was sick for most of it, and couldn't get out of bed, or watch anything without getting a blinding headache and one can only sleep so much) I started to feel better, and a friend mentioned a show I had never heard of before "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding." So as soon as my headache went away, I went to youtube and checked it out. I am sure my friends are watching the American version, but on youtube, I found the BBC original series. Having met a fair few Gypsies on my mission in the Baltics, I had to check it out. I must say, I have discovered that (even though the show features primarily Irish Travellers, and only a few Romani so far) That there are some similarities, and many differences between the Romani people I met and encountered in Lithuania. Well, from what I can tell from a TV show. But there are some similarities too. I think that, and the rediculous wedding dresses and cakes are two reasons I can't stop watching this show!!!! any way, wanted to let everyone know I am still alive. Happy spring to all!!! Go get married so I can watch!!!
