Photo of our back yard, which I'm missing right now. Also the sunshine. It doesn't appear to exist over here. We are out of the habit of wearing hats. No wonder everyone looks so young.
Master bathroom = ensuite - the bathroom off the main bedroom. Do not say ensuite, they will get very confused. Especially if you then call the other bathroom the main bathroom. I can't remember what the main bathroom is.
Duvet = Doona. I still can't work out if people use blankets here. Don't say doona.
Trash can = garbage bin
Lamp = light
Cookie = biscuit, usually sweet, because there are also Graham crackers, and animal crackers, which I haven't managed to sight yet.
Love seat = two person couch (sofa)
Cuddle seat = slightly smaller than two person couch, but bigger than a one person couch
Crib = baby cot
Garbanzo beans = chick peas
Full = double bed size (and there are young children's linen sets in full size)
Twin = single bed size
Armoire = big sort of old fashioned cupboard that you can keep your TV/entertainment system in. Not where you put the family's guns.
