79% on my first Latin assignment.
I made some stupid mistakes, mostly due to misreading things. Hopefully Speechify will help me with that in the future.

A day in Glasgow lead to a day spent between the bedroom and bathroom because I had a fibro flare.
Still tired, but feeling a fair bit better today.
This is why I love distance learning. I can take a day or two off when my body is screaming for rest.
