We have about twelve months on contract in Santa Fe, New Mexico this is a record of what we found there. The journey has continued and now we have ventured to Victoria in British Colombia, Canada. We're still going and are back in the USA in Salem Oregon

Our first nanny was from Canada, the second one was from Dunedin and our current nanny is from the Waikato. I have a sitting (or living) room with sofas and chests of drawers. The only one of our three nannies who uses the same words for all three of these things as me is the Canadian. (The others have used the words lounge, couch and/or dresser).
And I think I use all of those words at various times for the same items - but the one getting me in trouble here in Canada is "fortnight"!
Richard finds it difficult that people in his office don't understand half past or quarter to and hour, it's always .30 15 45.
Friend has no idea what we mean when we use 'boot' in relation to the car, so we haven't had that correction yet.
