This afternoon my friend Mary and I met the rest of the ladies at the Blandford Porter Memorial Library for our first ever French club meeting at 4 pm. I had a lovely time with the ladies. We each had different experiences with regards to the French language and yet we all were able to speak together without any awkwardness.

We each had tales to tell about either trips, memories of learning French at home or at school or planned trips. Each story was interesting and led to other topics; the conversation, I felt, flowed quite nicely even though I was the only one who was in her comfort zone.

The hour that was picked, 4 pm, was perfect in my opinion because it was early enough in the day where my grey cells are still functioning and firing on all cylinders, any later and the fog sets in and that wouldn’t be any fun. I posed the question and the rest of the ladies agreed. The setting was a good location as well; in Blandford we are blessed with an adorable small town library and it provides its residents with a perfect locale for these types of meetings.

What will make this club so much fun is that we can talk about anything under the sun, it doesn’t have to be all about France, we can talk about the latest news in our town or whatever as long as we speak of it in French. French is fun you know.

The following is the latest update on my technodifficulties with my Plinky.com account. I wrote my tale of woe to the service people and I received a very prompt response. Krista from the tech department at WordPress, Plinky is an offshoot of WordPress, wrote back and said that they tried but they couldn’t find my account anywhere. I wrote back and reconfirmed all of my log in information and Krista replied that she was not giving up but it might take several days to clear this up. I appreciate their prompt response especially given the fact that this is a free service provided by our good friends at the wonderful world of WordPress.

I am curious to see how this will resolve itself; if they will find me in their archives or if I will have to establish a new account. It is curious that they can’t find my information but we shall see.

Plinky’s latest prompt is to write about the latest nightmare that you remember, I can’t recall having a nightmare recently. The dreams that I remember these past few weeks have all been either good ones where I am in France or puzzling dreams that really don’t make any sense. I haven’t had a nightmare in years. I suppose that is a very good thing, my subconscious is at peace or that is how I choose to see it.
