Well, I've finally sold the car and instead of slobbing on my a*se every day, I cycle the 3.6 miles to the train station (and back! 7.2 miles in total). Done the first week and now into the second and it's getting easier (and colder).
Today I nearly ran over a squirrel in the park. Squirrels, as it happens, are quite indecisive!

Admirable, Fifth! I couldn't do that - not every day and in all kinds of weather.
O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.

I got the highest score (149/150) in our Phil. Literature subject.. I only have one mistake- It has something to do with the teachers chosen font size, she's very practical when it comes to test papers. She often use one bond sheet for all 150 questions...We actually need extra effort in reading every questions slowly and carefully.
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise."
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald
Thanks barbara! I've been lucky the weather's been pretty good so far, but I actually enjoy cycling in the rain! My route takes me through a local park and when it rains I get a days relief from dogs, especially those on flexi-leads - a cyclists nightmare!

Snow White is doing dishes again, 'cause what else can you do with seven itty bitty men?
Today I cleaned the house and changed the curtains...my back is killing me with pain right now, but I feel pretty good about myself!

So that its feel reminds me of slept-in sheets: comfortable and safe"

- I got an A on my oral area studies exam. that's one of my English exams. Area Studies (Landeskunde) is bits of history, geography, culture, current events etc. My special topics were The School System of the UK / US and Agriculture in the UK / US. After that there were a couple of minutes left for general questions. The teacher asked me about the political system in the UK, the role of the monarch today, (illegal) immigration in the US.
I got As both on the content and on my English language skills
- I've taken up jogging and went 3 times last week, 1x 4 km and 2 x 6 km. Last night we went again (my "hubby" rides his bike and I jog) and I did 6 km. The downside is I don't have time to do my swimming regularly what with exam preparation, so jogging doesn't tip the balance on the weight loss front.
Yay Nightie!
Awesome jobs, Sleepy, congratulations!
