A little sad I have to say goodbye to Rennes today - it was lovely!

At the conference, English is of course the main language, although french is helpful with the personell at the venue. Tomorrow we'll go for a little trip and then the conference is already over. I'll do some touristic things then!

Soo, how is France going after #200daysoffrench you might ask! It's still difficult. If french people talk to each other, it's too fast for me, I don't understand much. And communication isn't as smoothly as I hoped. However, I managed to exchange a train ticket, check into the hotel and solve a bureaucracy emergency where I had to print something in a copy shop and send it home to Germany via express at the post office (my first born is sold now)

A friend of mine is writing a book and I have been reading it in bits along the way and we've been having very thorough discussions over coffee almost every week. I had some trouble with the ending and she rewrote/extended some parts, I was complimenting her on a twist I hadn't expected in the new version "that was clever!" and she looked at me confused "uhm... That was your idea??" Oh. Well I suprised myself with this one then ;)

@vickysteeves @windmills That's so true, definitely showed me that mastodon is different and something special ;)

@kex_nom herzlichen Glückwunsch, hoffe du hast Zeit das fertig sein ein bisschen genießen zu können!

@windmills That's alright! ;) I will continue on at least till after my conference and then I'll see! Thank you and @vickysteeves for the motivation and the fun! I don't think I would have done it without you two! Bisous!

@devlogic yes, let's better not do that :D

@devlogic oh man, that's horrible... I hope it will all be better now!

Oh man it has really been six month, wow. I wanted to try beeing in contact with french more and "ran" into @vickysteeves and @windmills mid-January, doing #100daysoffrench It has really been six months of daily french with maybe 2 days exception. Oh boy!
Work hasn't been very impressive these past month, but at least I have this win.

@windmills more Vocabulary and some Duolingo. I downloaded a french crossword puzzle app and I've been doing some of those! #200daysoffrench

I'm going to a conference in France next week. I started practicing my french 6 month ahead, pretty much daily work. But do I have my presentation finished? Oh god no... not even started.

@OldBrushNewPaper @Julia I recognized this at some point, that I was saving the nice yarn... I try to avoid that now but unfortunately I oftentimes buy single beautiful skeins and then need to pair them for a shawl etc. But I'm very picky with color combos so I end up buying new... Meh.

@Julia oh your absolutely right! It should rub off on you! ;))

@Julia :D Fantastic!
So you'll knit the magic into the baby blanket, baby gets magic power that noone understands except for the mail man, baby saves the world *see's book plot ahead*

@Julia Oh awesome, the mail was fast! :) Yeaah, glad you like them! <3

@Julia das Paket ist gestern auf Reisen gegangen ;)

@windmills Vocabulary, a bit of Duolingo and some reading for both days! :) #200daysoffrench

@windmills yesterday I revised vocabulary, read a bit and had a little conversation with a french lady about plants on instagram #200daysoffrench And you?

@windmills Vocabulary and that's it for today ;) #200daysoffrench
