McGoohan Feb 2016 5:15pm, 11 Feb 2016 21,530 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan When we were in Denmark we stayed in the town of Vejen which after much difficulty I was pronouncing Viy-un. Vej means 'road' or 'way', so the road in is called Vejenvej. I managed to stop calling it Vedge-un-vedge but it is not pronounced Viy-un-viy either. Very tricky.

I have started reading a non-fiction book about a subject that I have very little real interest in - there is a good reason which I will most likely blog about on Saturday.

I'm all newed out and knackered.

halfpint Feb 2016 7:05pm, 11 Feb 2016 20,535 posts	Quote Pin halfpint Ooh I like this thread. Today I had scrambled egg for breakfast on a work day which is new. It kept me going until (almost) lunchtime. Yesterday I wore a new top which got some nice comments. I have also been doing yoga regularly for the last few weeks and dipping into mindfulness again.

Cuddy Feb 2016 7:38pm, 11 Feb 2016 4,627 posts	Quote Pin Cuddy Nice ideas going around here. The Duolingo website looks fun so it might be the little kick I need to pick up language learning again. The challenge is that I have trouble sticking to just one language and keep switching around!
