I love the tongs (as we call it in France).

We should take a poll: flip flops (which I grew up with in Santa Cruz, CA) or tongs

I'm from Canada. We use both terms, but I have always thought it to be thongs, not tongs.

Remember a line from the Beach Boys song "All Summer Long" ...."T-shirts cut-offs and a pair of thongs, we've been having fun all Summer long" That was in the early 1960's.

I am an American, and when I was in college in the 1960' s we called them thongs. The term flip flops came along later.

Thongs, for me flip flops came much later.

Thanks Coral for that find. It's interesting, although given their recent home purchase, I'm not surprised that they would want to move to a more private space.

Makes sense since they bought a house in Sydney and don't need that appartment anymore. I wonder what Simon is doing next, if they stay in Australia.
Thanks coral for finding the info. biggrin

Great find Coral. I like to think that they will stay in Australia now, at least until the boys finish school. smile

Yeah, I'm guessing they're back to Australia for good, since Simon doesn't have to stay in the US to look for jobs anymore - he's in a situation where he's offered roles, so he can use Sydney as a base and travel to the US to work when needed.

And looks like they're again set to make a pretty good profit on their home if they bought it for $2,6 millions and selling it for $3,3-3,5 millions like the article says...

Also, I was looking at the photos in the listing, and I'm guessing that the apartment has been redecorated for the photos after Simon & his family moved out, because otherwise someone in his family is a huge Twilight fan since you can see the books on the livingroom shelf wink
