Morning all,
Today it's restarting my French class which I haven't been to since 2013 when I went back to work. I'm looking forward to it as the class is almost all verbal with small amounts of written work and it's all geared around talking. I'd never thought about it before but most language classes are geared around the syllabus that language uses to teach their children. Consider if all the kids coming to school didn't speak English before they came to school and how relevant that English education would be for them... I've always hated language classes but I really like this one.
Later today I have to get my suit out and ironed ready for flying back to the UK tomorrow. I have an interview with a Uni in London to project manage part of their system upgrade, this time in Access Management. It was looking like I was going to have to stay 2 nights in hotels in order to make the flight windows. Second option was to ride my Bike to Cherbourg and take the overnight ferry then ride up to London, then take the late ferry back over to Le Harve and ride back in time to pick up the Stihl saw on Friday (booked) and use it before handing it back.
Final option works best for me. I'm fling into East Midlands and my parents will pick me up and take me home where I'll pick my other bike up. Then I'll ride close to London, park the bike up and take a train in for the interview. I'll then pick the bike up, ride to the tunnel, cross and head straight home. My interview is now at 5pm so I have the time to do it.
Have a safe flight Kaz & M, Ally we have a Hope Association shop just round the corner, all books €1 and they have thousands of them. Mrs S is expanding the Library pretty quickly now and we'll probably hit 3,000 books some time early next year
Jo, that documentation is a pain. My preference is to have a document (word, whatever), in which all the numbers and dates are stored. Verify them in the document then copy and paste them into the relevant slots in the forms. As the dates don't change and passport numbers only change on a decadal cadence, it means you only have to copy/paste and verify the numbers/dates match the document. You can also set the document read only so that it can't easily be changed unless you want to.,
Enjoy the day all.
I'm now going to phone my dad and try and fix his computer remote with Teamviewer before heading out to French. Then if I have a few seconds I'll rack my very small language brain for a few things to say about what's going on in my life in French.
Good luck with Project Wardrobe when the time comes - hope it does all fit
