Here I am sitting with a nice cold glass of wine the evening before I head of back to Algeria again. Little did I know when I named this blog that There and Back Again would actually happen so often! This is now my third trip to Algeria.
As usual I am staying overnight at my friends, K&B, near Heathrow before and after my travel trip. Thanks guys! This time the boys are of out for a family dinner and I have the place to myself. So my feet are up and the wine is being enjoyed and I am playing with my new eeePC. It will be my last alcohol for 3 weeks after all :) The eeePC was what I was looking for last March before my boat trip but they weren't really available then and I was quite frustrated at not being able to find what I wanted and needed for travel computing. When several folks came on the boat with them I was really envious - I'm quite the early adopter really !
I feel much more confident this trip about my French and am looking forward to seeing how it holds up. This past month I have taken time to have some 1-2-1 face to face French lessons to improve my confidence at speaking and my ability to comprehand others. I just hope it has worked and that Ahmed hears the difference. I feel I have really made that effort and now it needs to be put into practice.
