My Bloglines feed isn't working (lthough the google feed seems to be okay) and I left a comment here yesterday which seems to have got gobbled up. So:<BR/><BR/>Deborah: A lot of my conversation in French involves paraphrasing in any case because I forgot to say that when I do eventually find the noun I need, I usually realise that I don't know whether it's masculine or feminine so have to enginner the sentence to leave out any articles etc. <BR/><BR/>Sarah: You may have hit on something there: anatomically VERY accurate playthings....Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498909370147354617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-1164218824576481322006-11-22T19:07:00.000+01:002006-11-22T19:07:00.000+01:00Nice to see you blogging again.
