Big excitement Sunday: a brave pal is driving me to a quiet area so I can have a crack at making emergency stops. I buggered my knee slipping on ice in January and haven’t been able to drive since. Feeling pretty confident!

It’s my sister’s birthday this weekend, so I’ll be seeing the family for that! Besides gifts and helping cook lunch for her, I’m going to bake her some lebkuchen (a favourite of hers). Her boyfriend is on cake duty so I don’t want to step on his toes

I’m grumpy at myself for failing to get into a good habit of practicing my Gàidhlig and I don’t want to let it slip away. I need to figure out a good way to get myself to do it regularly now that I don’t have the external motivation of the classes. I think something with the litreachan bheag on learngaelic.net, but I’m not sure what yet. Anyone got good advice?
