My ex-wife used to have trouble with her 'Rs' as well. Usually through trying to fit it into size 12 jeans.

I thought the translation was not literal, i mean, i thought it was an idiom or something like that, sorry

Yes, my name is very usual in beach "chiringuitos" because it is composed of two words "sea" and "sun" in Spanish "mar" y "sol". And is usual in neighborhood hairdressers also

Hi Marisol,

Great to see you here in Siesta time. One piece of advice, don't take anything anyone says too seriously.

I think it may help tremendously with your vernacular English.

I'm hoping the fruit will be as tasty as the 'ortaniques'. They are wonderful.
