Ice Skating Lesson

Here are some children
learning how to ice-skate
during the school holidays
(7th April 2014)
at our large shopping centre,
Casuarina Square,
in the northern suburbs
of Darwin NT, Australia.

This was a proper mini
ice-skating rink
set up on the ground floor.
It looked like good fun !

Room Renovation

The challenge is on for me
to renovate this room
(which is larger)
so that I can move into it.

Looks pretty derelict doesn't it!
But, with a good clean,
some paint,
and new curtains,
it should be a big improvement
in being able to
organise my business items.

Learning Irish

I have been learning Irish,
and have just reached a milestone
(for me).

I've been able to learn
the sounds of the 92 words
that are examples of pronunciation
in the Irish language course
that I'm studying
by myself in my own time.
And I can recite them as a list
like reciting a poem.
And now, I can also
spell them all correctly :)

(Yes, I am still using the cassette)

As an aid to learning Irish
I've been going to the TG4 internet site.
TG4 is the Irish language television channel,
for those who don't know.



And yesterday (Sat 5 April 2014)
I watched an episode of
"Ros na Run".
