Fox on a Boat

Catching up with yesterday, and writing a poem for today. First one is a lune. -- He Had Purple Shoes And his name? I could have asked him. I prefer mysteries. -- Si Les Souhaits Etaient Des Chevaux.. Des Cheveux? What's that word I look for that starts with a, with a, with a.. L?  No maybe it was an N Nooooo Neh neh neh That sounds wrong... Como, como, como I don't speak perfect Spanish or perfect a n y t h i n g really. Do you? Sure, I could be working harder and not be so lazy But those umlauts and tildes and oh Finnish numbers are so eeeeaaaaasy - I mean, have you tried counting  or or Do you think it is IMPOSSIBLE HARDEST LANGUAGE TOO OLD for learning? Well tell me then, when is one meant to learn if the cut-off age you say is 6 14 or three??? Really, three? So I suppose all our lives are lies and if we weren't born bilingual it's rotten. Tell ...

Puhutko sinä englantia? Hello all! This will be a very short post. I mentioned in passing in previous posts that I was learning languages. I have now created a blog about that! I will be writing about my goals, achievements, the things I find difficult.. The learning journey, basically! Here is my introduction post , and here I wrote about my first week (and resources used). -- Are you also learning a language? Do you blog about it? Let me know in the comments below!

Used this prompt  again. I love languages, so this prompt appeals to me! 違い Auttakaa minua! I cannot travel This road alone. Regarde le ciel. Grey like the eyes Of your long-lost friend. Så sorgligt. Vieni con me To the land of secrets Behind the  sléibhte. There, I know, Hides your truth. Perhaps even the door of حب

Well, to clarify, this is a first draft of a first page of what might become a little book I might do just for fun.. So there it is, the radish that speaks Finnish.. I do like the idea so I might work out a painting schedule.. This was done in acrylics and ideally I'd like to work in watercolour, so I'll have to stock up. In the final draft I plan to have more space for words and I'll put the translation at the bottom of the page or something. I won't say anymore yet, but stay tuned for more pages and sneak peeks!

Well, here it is: 2013. Another new year.. Nothing changes on new year's day, according to U2. Today has been no different to yesterday, actually, except that if I were to write the date somewhere, I'd have to add a 3 and not a 2. I am pretty sure I will make the mistake in the next few days, and write 2012. Anyway, here we are in 2013, and I'm not too pleased. This is because I don't really like the look of the number, or how it sounds. (I'm a bit weird that way.) Honestly, try and say it out loud. Twenty-Twelve sounded so cool, it had a ring to it that Twenty-Thirteen does not, don't you think? Oh bother, I guess I have a year to get used to it. This year I hope to write more often. Regularly. And though I don't see a new year as a 'new start' as such, because it's not like anything gets erased, you know? Well I still want to have some sort of 'new' in my life, because after a full rotation around the sun, I guess one's brain just...
