Ooh, missed this! Macbeth is in 12th (we're doing Othello in 10th) but will definitely try to catch up on this slow read.

The best girls. Even when they aren't 😊

Or, at least with Chinese, connect a series of strokes to a meaning, and then to a sound 😂

Yeah - same problem. How do you connect a series of strokes to a sound, and then to a meaning.

Speaking is fairly easy. Every other language skill is impossible without at least one lifetime of practice 😂

I've been learning Chinese for years now. Congrats on more or less reading your print!

Toasted lightly enough to be just crispy, then it doesn't matter what goes on it - butter, jam, or the finest foie gras (but not really foie gras because that's cruel).

I don't run a charity, but for years I have supported many, many rescue animals on my little teacher's salary. Good charities should absolutely get top talent, but good top talent includes understanding that personal wealth really isn't the point.

Thank you! Every once in a while I get lucky with birds 😀

Good dog. And good rescuers.

To clarify: what's pictured above is headed north-ish. The overpass I was on is headed north-westish, towards Suzhou. The overpass below me is headed south-westish. The ground level ends in local bits flying off in all directions. A many multi-story concrete mess.

Yeah. Cat.
