Hooray! I've managed to open a bank account at Barclays today. It might have helped that the son of the nice lady I talked to is a pupil at Pate's and in fact doing German. I took me about an hour, though, and she asked weird questions about things I didn't know the bank was interested in. One of the questions on the application form (yes, you have to apply for an account) was 'Tell me about your family'. Since I didn't expect a question like that, I was a bit baffled and asked the poor lady three times if she could repeat it. I'm even putting money into my savings account every month now (Mom, Dad, I want you to acknowledge that!). Now, I just have to wait for my first salary.
Judith came home from London today where she babysat her youngest grandchild who'll have her first birthday next month. Apart from the babysitting, she also saw to it that the whole family got something healthy to eat, so I offered to cook tonight (unhealthy, for a change) to take a bit of a burden off her.
