My MIL is a real character. She was wondering if Americans could speak openly about s-e-x. I said a few could, but ..... most probably weren't up to the Dutch level.

We let the side down in our neighbourhood as we still have last years leaves all over the place. Everyone has gardeners and so their yards are all neatly trimmed and ours is beginning to look a bit wild. Do I hear the approach of the neighbourhood housing association?

My guess is that if Alabama was near Michigan, they'd be selling a hell of a lot of rolls of plastic!

Some of the less genteel areas of the South have their windows covered in aluminium foil to reflect the heat away from the house.

If anybody is still interested, this is our house.
It is 2,800 sq ft on a 5,000 sq ft lot on the side of a hill. It's quite a pricey area as it's a separate school district to LA. It is part of what was originally an artists' colony so the area is a little bit avant-garde.
We don't "own" much of it as was said earlier!
It's nice to have more space than in Engalnd but I wouldn't want anything larger.
lionheart, you must be well-organised in 700 sq ft!! Santa Monica is really nice, though.

Emmmm no, the apartment is a contemporary pastiche of eclectic furniture, assorted primary color plastic toys, swings, beds and doggie chews.
Look out for my new interior design feature in Architects Digest magazine, it's called Shabby trash d' blanc.
