Still Nice.

A bit hazier today and not quite as warm as yesterday but still a very pleasant day.

No sign of a sore throat this morning and my back has settled back to its normal level of soreness so that's good as well.

 

Being Thursday most of the day has been spent working on learning Welsh. As often happens I needed to do my homework at the last moment. This was the wonderful Robin Radio where we have to listen to a conversation, answer questions and do some translation. 

The class itself wasn't so hard today unlike last week's brain fog. Mainly because although it's still conjugating prepositions this week we only had to remember one - am which can be either about or for (in certain circumstances). We did have an amusing interlude where after being in a breakout room where one of the discussion topics was things we did not like about our area the subject of dog poo came up. And of course we didn't know the correct word to use. Our tutor gave us both versions of the word paw = poo and the other stronger word that we wouldn't use in polite company. But as she said we are there to learn the language. And if you for example drop a stone on your toe you might well use the phrase cachu hwch - sow's sh** as an expletive. 

Of course I did manage some time sitting out in the garden. I have a penchant for counting things and already the flower count is up to 22 different varieties just in the front garden. As I sat outside I could hear lawnmowers busy in other people's gardens and when I walked down to the Hall for disco aerobics the air was filled with the smell of fresh cut grass. Even nicer was finding it still light as I walked home afterwards. That's the first time this year. And I had a pretty pink and grey sunset to look at on the way with a single star in the blue sky above.
