My progress this week has been small but in a positive direction.
The most difficult thing to accept at this point is that until my archaeology course starts in a few weeks I will be in something sort of a holding pattern. I can do little things, and have, but the more “intense” phase won’t begin until then.
That said, tonight I signed both myself and my wife up for pottery classes, starting on the 26th of April. It’s something we have both wanted to try for the longest time and it finally gives us an activity to share with each other. I am almost as excited for this as I am for the archaeology course.
Last night I made some progress with my banjo and this evening my wife and I had a nice stroll in a nearby park. Yesterday we visited Rosslyn Chapel and had a walk in the park there as well. Can’t complain about that at all.
When in the flat, I’ve taken to listening to French Radio London. It helps to jiggle my brain a bit and loosen some of the old high school French that resides in some of the nooks and crannies of my mind. I certainly couldn’t speak the language, but my comprehension is at least reawakening slightly.
To otherwise fill my time I have been mostly reading. The Internet is still the bane of my existence but, until I become more focused and have other activities to fill my time I will struggle with falling back into the same old patterns.
