You will pick it up without thinking about it. Too much grammar is blinding. Just talk and the words will come by themselves. A few glasses of wine can help (at least in my experience).

Not comfortable but short lived. For me the worst part was being placed in exactly the right place plus the awful music that was played. However I am pleased it was done at no financial cost to me.

I have had a lot of problems with Gallica, not just manuscript related ones. Very frustrating. Biblissima does seem to work better.

So true. I wanted to look up the Luttrell Psalter but it is not there! Fortunately I downloaded a digital facsimile a few years ago which solves that problem but I fear others I may want to see will not be available. I can’t find the same search function that I used before for more general searches.

Each has a completely different aspect: town at the front, garden at the back, medieval wall at the side. I favour the town view to people watch!

Having left a house in the country with garden and various terraced areas we insisted on having one here. We have three all facing different ways. They are a godsend.

Reminds me of the stairs in the building in which my youngest son lived. By the time you got to the top floor the stairs were ricketty. Ground floor ones were stone. Rue Cardinal Lemoine.

Zelenskyy is quite right. Trump wants the glory and doesn’t give a damn about Ukraine or anywhere else. He is becoming more dangerous by the day.
