I walked into the U3A spanish class this morning, the first time in six weeks...the OAP's(bless 'em) were really pleased to see me
One of their number, a friend, has been keeping them informed of my progress and so they were really pleased to see how I was much improved from the report given to them last week.
The pattern is that I have two really lousy weeks then one where I feel relatively human 
The class is a self help group so the members bring articles to translate etc. One guy had recently returned from holiday in Spain where he went to church on the Sunday so he brought the readings from the Mass to translate, we learnt the words for 'disciples' and 'commandments' 
Not really what we all wanted but each must have their turn 
When we had finished translating that another member of the group decided we would do a role play in booking hotel rooms by telephone.
I excelled in that as I had it off to a fine art!
"See you in a month or so" I said to them as I left
"OK petal" they replied
