Fresh Ayr

 The wind was chill today...and the bus was late!!!! Hat scarf and gloves were definitely necessary!

Lunch in Waterstones 

Views from the new bridge.


Then a wander over to the North Bank..after finding a smaller but double layered steamer in a charity shop.

I went to the library early..the WiFi is good there... and it is warm..and we gathered upstairs...starting with cake and birthday greetings..leading your first topic...


The birthday "boy" is one side of the whiteboard, our teacher the other 


Then the teacher had printed out on a double sided A4 sheet , and article from Le Figaro newspaper. We took turns to read paragraphs...I was pleased with how I did!

Back home on the bus, and time to make supper then sit seeing...

Sounds like a very pleasant, if chilly, day. Your French is really coming along!

I imagine the French used in Le Figaro is pretty sophisticated, so well done! I can about read a grade-school primer, I think. :)

The class members look like a fine group of people and celebrating a B-day builds connections and friendships.
Reading from the French newspaper shows skill you are doing well which is very encouraging. Well done.
