Still Alive and Breathing!

Now then, where was I?

As you have probably noticed, I havent't done much blogging in the last 3-4 weeks. I've been busy with a multitude of things, mainly my Easter break away in Robin Hood's Bay (amazing place, but that's another story).

The whole learning Dutch thing  is still an active goal of mine though. Even while I was away, I took my Dutch books and a notepad and did plenty of swotting like the good student I am!

Even better, the cottage we were staying at had not one but TWO balconies, one of which overlooked the sea. This means that while I was casually learning key verbs, this was the view I had:

What's more, the weather was mostly wonderful and warm, so sitting outside was the best thing to be doing. I'd say that it's impossible not to be motivated to do something with that as your backdrop!

Aside from my little jaunt, I've been working hard and trying to finally get rid of the damn car, which I will finally be able to do on Monday. This means more £$£$ in my pocket as I'll be able to cancel my outrageously obscene insurance. It also means I'll be able to get the next lot of Rosetta Stone CDs as I've completed the level one course now.

Now that I'm back in the groove, I can hopefully return to focussing on the Dutch and less on other annoying and distracting things. Watch this space!
