Time

Well 2016 so far has been pretty much me thinking and not really doing!  I'm definitely in a reflective mood.  


I think that probably every blogger has a whole host of things that they should be doing....things that that they want to do....and its probably not worth adding the things that you'd like to have a go at!

It turns out I have rather less time than I thought I had and even then, its probably less than that.

My crafty endeavours, German learning and running come way down the list of things that are part of my everyday, and yet they are important, as they probably make the essential things possible.  If I didn't do some of the 'me' stuff, I would soon not be me.

Last weekend I should probably have been catching up on my German (I have fallen behind in my studying) but we all did a Parkrun instead....and do you know what it was exactly the right thing to do.  I had a clear head, I felt more balanced and not quite so panicky that I wasn't ticking everything  off the 'to-do' list.

So the big list didn't shrink any really, but I was happier.

I would like to be blogging again....I would like to know the method of making all the new German  vocabulary, I look up everyday, actually stick so that when I go to use the word, it is still there (where does it go?)

I would love to know what on earth the coloured ball of acrylic that I was mixing in, with the pale pink, in the above baby blanket was..........I have been back to the shop, I have picked up what I thought it was twice and come back to realise it is nowhere near.....that's a small frustration in the scheme of things, but hey its not asking much!

I would like to be able to combine all the things I want to do into one activity...so I can listen to German TV while I run, but can I blog and knit at the same time?  Maybe I could find a group of German runners who are also part of a knit and natter group....maybe I should start the group....I would.... but I have no free time ;-)

Challenge Tuesday

I do love a bit of alliteration...don't you?

So here it is...not quite Challenge Anneka (for those British readers of a certain age)....more like something that stretches me a bit.  This is going to come in the form of a weekly chunk of German (I'm a beginner on a distance learning course). Not very reader friendly for those who don't speak German....actually, probably not that reader friendly for those who speak German.....The thing is, I never speak...mainly because I don't get the opportunity...but also now, because I'm tongue-tied....

Dieses Jahr, möchte ich mehr Deutsch sprechen.  Ich lerne seit 18 Monaten, aber ich kann nicht Deutsch sprechen.  Wenn ich versuche, kann ich mich nicht die Wörten erinnern.  Ich fühle mich böse und dumm!

Jede Woche, will ich ein bisschen sprechen.

Können Sie mir helfen?  Können Sie Deutsch sprechen?

Also, ein bisschen über mich....



Ich stricke sehr gern.  Heute, stricke ich ein Sockenpaar für meine Mutter.  Die Socken sind farbenfroh wie einen Regenbogen!  Hoffentlich, wird sie fröhlich sein.

Ich mache zwei Socken zusammen, weil ungeduldig ich bin.  Ich habe nur eine Socke, wenn ich stückweise stricke.
