on a completely random note

Watching the new Doctor Who was the first time I have ever heard anyone, other than members of my family, pronounce 'yoghurt' the way I do*. I have been MOCKED for that during the course of my life! On many occasions! But I have always stuck to my guns: YOG-ut, not YO-gurt.

I'm feeling more aware of my British roots than usual because since I started at the Sydney Eye Hospital two days ago, no less than three patients have asked me what my accent is. And okay, it's not VERY Australian, but it's still more Australian than not, I feel. One of them guessed Canadian (????).


*I guess...it is not a word one expects to pop up on the television with any great frequency. Though I'm watching QI series G and Stephen Fry just said it. PRONUNCIATION CANNOT BE WRONG WHEN IT IS ENDORSED BY STEPHEN FRY.

now I am all keen on the 'verse again

And finally, the writing meme questions from misura!
