Autumn morning by the pool



This morning I had a swim, did a bit of gardening, then sat by the pool reading the paper and drinking coffee. Philip, quite used to being a single dad, did the washing. I think he and the kids are out buying a bearded dragon.

The temp will climb to 30 this afternoon - what a difference from the icy blizzard in UK! I hope you are surviving over there.

Last night I did something I'd never done before - listened to a French story being read aloud on the iPad, while following the printed text on the mobile! Amazing technology! I was inspired to improve my French at our conversation session yesterday, when two new women turned up, both fluent French speakers. Made me a bit ashamed of my own poor efforts. My mind is definitely slower than it used to be. Not only do I find it difficult to remember French words, but English as well.
