[Leica] date scene

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Didier, I think there is a LUG parent solidarity thing in this thread.
It's my birthday, there's a 1 and a 5 and I'm not 15! So you guys showing
empathy is very warming. 
I can see that the figure skating and ice hockey will dent the parental
pockets, for Miss 12 and Master 10, we have two broadband connections, the
usual game consoles, soccer, cricket, clarinet, trombone and the obligatory
mobile phone so far. 
Thank heavens boys are still EWWWW, sort of, but it's on the horizon.

Cheers
The embattled and bemused Hoppy, who is older than yesterday.

My daughter Charlotte is 11, and dating happens just with her girlfriends
(so far). But I would be glad she only wants a digicam and webcam from me...
With the money I spend for her figure skating lessons and training camps, I
could easily buy a digital M body plus one or two Summiluxes a year... :-( I
thought icehockey costs more, but my two 6+8yrs old boys' costs for that
sport are moderate compared to figure skating (let's say one 1.4/35 ASPH
Summicron a year).

ps - my grand ma always said: little kids, little problems. So I wonder what
will follow. The daughter slips into pre-puberty now ("get lost, I wanna
breakfast alone") and I begin to imagine what kind of the troubles I'll
encounter soon :-)
