It was another intense day beginning with grammar, grammar in the middle and ending with grammar. So yes, it was all about grammar. Although we were truly spent by the time class let out at 5:00pm I was glad we went over all that we did because I had been having trouble with the previous night’s assignment and a lot of my concerns were alleviated after the final grammar lesson. The assignment isn't due for a week or so but I am not one for procrastinating so I really wanted it finished this week. I know we have a lot more work coming this week and no point in getting behind even if it's only from my perspective.
I walked over to Budding Cafe, our friends Ellen and Frank's charming florist sho
p/cafe after class. Ellen made me an incredible Chai latte as I waited for my sister to meet me so we could go to the gym and swim. I had the pleasure of meeting these very interesting Dutch men who supply Frank and Ellen with flowers. They came to make their weekly delivery and sat and had coffee with us. I was astou
nded to find out that all three men commuted between Holland and Ireland each week. In fact two of them, every Monday morning, drive a bus loaded with flowers a short ways across Holland where they catch a ferry which travels across the Atlantic to Wales in 6 hours. When it arrives in Wales they drive across that country to another ferry that takes them to Dublin. After that they drive around Ireland for four days delivery all the flowers they then do the same exact trip but backwards. The head floral guy flies each way because he has children and needs to be home Monday during the day. Makes you a
ppreciate an office job.Swimming was great and I love this health club. It's in a lovely hotel and has a three lane lap pool, a spacious whirlpool as well as a sauna, steam room and ice cold shower stall. I'm not so crazy about the Ice cold shower but done in between visits to the sauna and steam room I can feel the health benefits.
Off to bed now since it's an early rise in the morning.
