If anyone's familiar with the phonetic alphabet, it looks like this: [kylɔt]I am even more late for this, but for "culotte", there's not really a way to write it for english speakers. I thought about it a lot and I didn't find any way to write the french "u" phonetic in english. It's a bit like the end of "q" (ueue?).
It doesn't really count when you're constantly meeting up with your parentsRuby says on IG she's been away from home for 6 weeks now which is the longest time ever for her. Genuine props to her for keeping it up! Homesickness can be a bitch.
And calling them, and writing them letters, and having them send over parcels full of food from homeIt doesn't really count when you're constantly meeting up with your parents
The irony of this picture beig that there's hardly any cereal in the bowl..Surely not?
(We’re f********)OT, but seriously, can someone explain to me what on earth is going on in the UK right now? I don't live there, though I once did. Are there really no restrictions and it's just, "OK, whatever" for the rate of infections?
I have been waiting forever to return there to do some work in a library and gather documents that I left in a safe place when I did live there. Because it is nowhere near an airport, I've been delaying this for 1.5 years now. It has never really been OK to travel there. But I was hoping I could this winter. Now I think I have to beg again for an extension.
The people there are probably sick of me, but the one period where the trip might have been OK was the time I was having a surgery and recovering. Ugh... I'm so terrified to contact them again, but I want to be able to return to where I am living now! I can't afford a long quarantine in the UK, either. What a mess. Does the government not care how this affects people who would otherwise come and spend money in the UK? I'm pretty sure all my tax documents are there too, and I'm now going to have to ask the secretary to open my personal mail again and email them to me. I hate that, it feels wrong.
Yeah things are a bit messed up right now.OT, but seriously, can someone explain to me what on earth is going on in the UK right now? I don't live there, though I once did. Are there really no restrictions and it's just, "OK, whatever" for the rate of infections?

Yeah, I suppose that's going to have to happen. Infections are rising here too, but I was shocked when I checked the UK again. Sorry for ranting!Yeah things are a bit messed up right now.
Is there someone you can trust to mail all the stuff to you? It would definiely work out cheaper and possibly quicker than travelling here in person.
A perfect storm of 11 years of austerity, Brexit and a Tory government during a pandemic. Best not to come back in case you get stuck here.OT, but seriously, can someone explain to me what on earth is going on in the UK right now?
I want to comment ‘death’ every single time she does this. In the Ruby-sphere the worst thing to happen probably is either rain or no rain depending on her mood. Or maybe for the months to go straight from September to November.View attachment 822686
Remember, kids: Life is short, so make the most of it by doing the same thing you do all day, every day, really badly. Never improve at anything. Never learn to use your precious time more efficiently. Never go anywhere you haven't been before. Never try anything new. It's the Ruby Granger way of life!
I love how she’s making an effort to paw at non-children’s-books, it adds an aura of mystery to her videos. Could she ACTUALLY be reading something that’s longer than 8 pages? Could she be *gasp* looking up some of the words she misuses on a daily basis? Out of a real dictionary that also (be still my heart) provides phonetic transcription?After all the discussion abou her touching books, here it is, her most recent post on Instagram. Hi Roobees!
I wish! She's probably just pointing at it/rubbing her finger on the cover and will never pick it up or read it.I love how she’s making an effort to paw at non-children’s-books, it adds an aura of mystery to her videos.
