Maili Sounds like you're having an ace time dear! As for your request for gossip I am sadly gossipless, unless you count the fact that me and adam went to see the young victoria film last night and took grapes with us and were the youngest people in there (the oldest looking about 70 something) gossip? Oh wait, I did sign for a house a couple of weeks ago which is exciting! Though not really scandalous gossip at all...obviously my life isn't half as exciting as when you are here!
