A Daily Thing

No, I’m not going Dadaist on you (I will leave that to Nichole).  I end up saying all this very frequently actually, except not like that: by spelling my name – S.A.B.I.N.E. (I know, how clever of me).

In this country for some unknown (and slightly irritating) reason, I have to spell my first name on an almost daily basis.  If my father had won (and I had been called Florence) I’m fairly sure I would never have to do that.  But my mum prevailed, so I have a shorter and more difficult name (the one she always knew she would give to one of her daughters someday).  So I might have to spell my name very often but it’s a gift from my mum – something precious between her and me that was long coming.

Awww right?
