Lessee..that'd be 5am here. If I'm awake I'll cross my fingers for you. Not sure if I can do it in my sleep.

Seriously, good luck!

That's 10am in the UK, right? Rest assured I'll have everything crossed for you, Carla! Good luck!

I'll just be going into a meeting in central London around then, so I'll be sure to remember (I find I usually need something to fix the time else I'm liable to forget! Not too often I get to go to London so it's a special day for me too!)

Hi Carla

Never replied to you before - it's only my second day here. I 've talked to your sister 'though.

Anyway everything is crossed for you. I've even knotted up some hair specially (sorry actually it was like that before).

As my mother would say I wish you comfort in the interview and best of luck.

Good luck, Carla!

I'll have them crossed if I can figure out the time conversion. What's 10am UK in Massachusetts?

Good luck Carla -- hope it goes well.

Not a very odd request, mind you . . .

I can cross the 1st and 2nd, and 3rd and 4th fingers of both hands at the same time. So I'll do that for you, Carla.
