Men At Work

After a lovely evening last night (nearly all in German - boy, translating everything was REALLY tiring.  I know it will get easier but it was tough), Moot decided I didn't want a lie-in and woke me up at 4:45.  He played that wandering-around-the-house-and-meowing-like-a-Banshee game until I used some bad words.  Then he hid under the table.  And when I went to pat him, I got slashed by the Paws Of Love.

He finally calmed down at about 7ish.

And so, I've spent today practising more German. Back to the interactive course that I've ignored for a couple of weeks.  I picked the dative and accusative exercises to do - and was surprised that I got some right, and appalled that I can't tell when a case is accusative or dative.  More practise required.  I shall return to the exercises tomorrow.  Meanwhile I shall prepare for class tonight.

Today's blip came courtesy of the road painting team outside.  I was taken by  the fact that it all looks a bit slapdash - no cordoning off the affected junction. Just some paint, plenty of traffic and the dude in sunglasses with the watering can that he didn't use.
