Dreaming Again...

..of far away places.

Today is the day my sister and I would have been flying home from the UK...with wonderful memories of 7 weeks in Wales, Shropshire, The Cotswolds and Kent.....Alas, it was not to be..

As that was the second trip to the UK in a row that got canceled - because of Covid in 2020 and this year because of my clumsiness  - I thought I might have better luck dreaming of France?  I have not yet had to cancel a trip to France....hmmm ..Is there a message in there somewhere? Maybe a trip to France AND to the UK? At the same time? 

Whatever, my itchy feet led me to my bookshelf of FRANCE magazines and a couple of mags I picked up whilst in France one time to practise reading and understanding the written French word. Surprisingly, I noted in perusing one of them (above) that I could do a little better now than  back then..which reminded me of the importance of doing a little Duolingo each day. I figure that it was one of the reasons my French had improved, even if only a little. 

So... I opened up the Duolingo app and stumbled through a couple of lessons, realizing very quickly how much I had lost in abandoning it for the last few months! I promised myself to get back in the habit and today I at least made a good start at it. Now the trick will be to get back in the habit and stick with it...
