We felt guilty about moving them on when it became painfully clear we never were actually going to apply ourselves to this.<br /><br />:0\Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-47414546565949391672015-08-19T10:34:39.315+01:002015-08-19T10:34:39.315+01:00This rang a bell.

I have more kit than one person could ever use. <br /><br />At the moment I am working on not acquiring more but using the stuff I have got. <br /><br />I have a shelf full of language learning books. Not to mention the audio stuff and the stuff in the computer. If I learnt all the language in one of these books I might be able to speak it!daisyanonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-72087138230718304262015-08-19T06:38:06.306+01:002015-08-19T06:38:06.306+01:00'Unavoidables'.

Counterproductive, right? I was so well on my way<br />When I remarried almost three years ago. Then, my new husband found out that I play piano and<br />Insisted that I have a piano. Well, I don't play anymore and now I have this piano.
