Answer B Poly, I always have to keep an eye on them to check if they don't anything wrong, so it slows me down. But I won't happen again cause I quit
today. I'm gonna take a week off, and my temp agency will find me another job next week.

Week is going pretty well, doing sports, rebuilding a guitar of mine, reading, etc... Just ordered a few books, a few records, food for the mind, you
know? What about you, Poly, how is your life going?

Adorable as always!
Asked BF for you, he replies he's doing well and preparing mentally for his trip to De Efteling tomorrow.

Efteling was good fun! Next time I think I'll go alone again though. BF was so enamoured by the love-it-or-hate-it (and my vote's hate) darkride
Carnaval Festival he dragged me into it three times. It is a merrier version of It's A Small World - and with a tune that is even more of an earwurm.
Been trying to get that infernal brass out of my head for the past week.
Don't look it up for the sake of your sanity.

oh, been lacking in posting, sorry:
-Was very down on Saturday 16th to the point I hadn't slept, but feeling better now thanks to a very sweet boyfriend.
-Went to cycle to a new-to-us second-hand shop, nothing spectacular. Except I had fun with my dad on that outing.
-Last wek I went to a completely new one, where I bought a Zelda game for Gamecube, The Wind-Waker. BF had informed me that the old Zelda games are
still popular but rarely newly released, and since new fans also want to do the old stuff, that gets expensive. Indeed I can easily get €25 for
something that cost me €2,50. Will be bringing it to BF since he has a Gamecube (which he bought expressly so he could play Wind Waker  )
-Discovered something called "swing knitting" and found a pattern that's fascinating but expensive:
http://knitch.net/2019/01/02/papillon-butterfly-shawl/
-Had a bake-off at work, baked a quiche for the first time. With feta and spinach - unfortunately the ingredients are too expensive to try it again on
short notice.
-I got a trial subscription to an educative channel, so now I'm learning Spanish.

Spent the whole weekend in Lille with my old friend Laëtitia, going to restaurants and drinking and having fun. In spite of an awful pain in the right
shoulder, it was awesome. Now I want to move tio this city. Lol.

Haha! We could talk sometime! I speak German all day long at work!
I speak French pretty decently but I'm out of practice - I don't speak it on the phone however since I got a panic attack with every French caller.
Like with German, I learnt it the school way at my secondary school but there are so many accents... If I have somenody from Austria, Switzerland or
around Munich on the line, I do have to try my best. With French it's the same thing but French doesn't have the advantage of being similar to Dutch
the way German is.

My French has continued to be poor. I spend time with my relatives in France, with every intention to work on my French when I get home, but there's
not enough time in the day for the things I ordinarily do, let alone study French. I'm torn, because I would really love to be able to speak French.

Unfortunately the odds of me speaking French at work will diminish over time.
Fortunately that's because I've been promoted to HomeOwner Service.

I had some major surgery in 2010 and 2015, which basically fixed my health problems. This time it’s to deal with side effects of that surgery. The
surgery itself appears to have gone well and I’m recovering quickly, but it will be some months before knowing how successful it’s been. The hardest
part will be not playing drums and sax for at least six weeks. And, I am going to have to be very patient in general for a long while.
