... the most beautiful side of being a translator/interpreter is the look on my seven months baby angel when I try to translate for her a story (sadly i have to, because I can't find any children books in Arabic in Brisbane yet) and she smiles at me that angelic one-toothed smile... I've translated children books for so long... only looking at her and seeing the reward of my effort in her smile, just makes my day!!

| mother's day | Mar 22, 2011 |
Mother's day is on the 3rd April in the UK this year, so you are still in time, David
I know the feeling though, in Spain it isn't until June, and I have to really organise myself to send a card out for the right date.
@ Bara'a: enjoy this wonderful year with your baby. They grow sooo quickly (mine have just overtaken me in height!).

TOPIC STARTER | is it that different? | Mar 22, 2011 |
I did not realize how dates are different around the world!! thanks Richard and Emma!
Richard: It is easy for me to remember Mothers day in March since my mother's birthday is just two days earlier from that date, so I ALWAYS make notes and reminders from the beginning of the year so I don't end up forgetting both!
