Congratulation Jenny 25 K

.

A wonderful achievement old friend , and fellow Melbournian well done .

Melbourne has won the title of "Most Liveable City in the world" for the

third year in a row, and now you have won this prestigious position and

joined the 25 K club , easy to say but as you know difficult to accomplish ,

especially as you have so many other interests which take up your time ,

and yet you have given us the pleasure of knowing you as a diligent

worker , advancing in your Spanish as well as helping us with our studies .

You can always be relied upon to answer posts in a well mannered and friendly fashion.

It has been a pleasure and a privilege Jenny , our latest " Legend".

Oh my goodness, what can I say!!

I only saw this today, as there are many days I don't get to the computer, let alone SD. You are all very kind. I think I am going slowly, because I answer only a few threads. But it is very helpful to have these challenges, and have such enthusiastic fellow students and wonderful Spanish speakers who are prepared to correct our efforts.

Thank you so much to all!

Many of you have referred to my country. In Australia we had an election yesterday and it didn't go the way I would have liked so I am a bit cross. We are called the Lucky Country, and I hope our luck holds.

cheers all Jenny

Hi Jenny, you are right about the election , I am not looking forward to the Abbot regime, i was hoping that the Greens would have done better than they did. Glad that you liked the post Jenny take care mate. - ray76, Sep 8, 2013

Thank you for being here with us at SD, Jenny. You are a special lady with a lot of class. You always answer with style and grace. I enjoy your posts on the palabra del dia, and I have learned several things about Spanish from reading them. You have been here a long time and I hope you will be here for a long time to come!

Felicidades Jenny. Always especially good to have actual teachers on here. Keep it up!

They are " Beach huts" peculiar to Melbourne , you can buy them , but you only lease the land from the relevant councils on whose land they sit. They are sold for enormous amounts , hundreds of thousands of dollars , one went for over a million. You canno - ray76, Sep 6, 2013
cannot live in them but merely use for daily entertaining , changing etc, some are quite elaborate inside. - ray76, Sep 6, 2013
Same here in England Ray - down near Bournemouth. - ian-hill, Sep 6, 2013
Wow! That's hard to believe, Ray...for that little shed? - rac1, Sep 7, 2013
Thanks rogspax. The 'bathing boxes' are cute and as Ray says, very expensive because there are only a few of them and rich people like them. All the property prices in our cities are hard to believe, rac, huge. - jennysk, Sep 8, 2013

Well done Jennysk! Hoping you are speaking well with your family member that speaks Spanish after such a diligent pursuit. I enjoy seeing your well-thought out answers on many of the posts we enjoy sharing. 50K is a short jump, now.

Jenny! Congrats on 25K! Bien hecho, mi amiga. When we moved from California to the UK many years ago we used to watch these just to see some sunshine and swim suits. Now we live in Las Vegas and rejoice when we get rain and clouds.
