Oleander

We set a new record in Schule tonight. When started out on our epic learning adventure we were one and twenty hardy souls. Two didn't last a month before the lassitude took them and we never saw them again. The rest of us bumped along but we were together. Steadily though, some have dropped into the habit of not showing on warm nights, some not showing on Friday nights, some into just not bothering on days that ended in a "g" or a "h" (in German).

Tonight, we were five. Four and a half since Carlos had a really bad headache. And did we gallop along and make giant leaps? No. We learnt the months of the year. It was not a stretch. Perhaps my plan to read a book with a dictionary and a notebook is nicht so schlimm*.

Away from that, I woke up and thunder rolled across the sky. Alas it was only a co-incidence and not the foreshadowing of a mighty destiny. Although I am open to offers.

This is rather fun - makes me happy.

*nicht so schlimm = not so bad
