@Dee - pah, slacker - I'm already in 2014 and making great headway - almost two new framework lessons completed today alone (and I'd have finished them if it hadn't been for those pesky power cuts!)...

Well, my new PC has been ordered and I'm raring to go. I shall brush off my Esperanto cobwebs and give the new framework a rigorous testing as soon as I can get my hands on it .... oh, did I happen to mention that I've been learning Turkish lately as a way of relaxing from my Uni work? It has this fascinating vowel harmony system that I've not come across before in a language, so it sort of hooked me in Ooh, and the Catalan Deli round the corner had a notice up just before Christmas offering Spanish conversation practice groups!! I'll get myself a good dose of Spanish while I'm getting organised for the move to Llandysul I think 2014 is going to be the year I enter language heaven!

Wait, you go to a Catalan place to practice Spanish? That's like going to a Welsh pub to practice English

Cxu ne estas novajxo pri tiu cxi kurso?

Not in the immediate future, I'm afraid - but we are starting work at the moment on putting everything that we've learnt in the last few years into building a new online system that will then make it possible for us to open the course building process up to volunteers - so it's not impossible that some material will be available for Esperanto before the end of this year...

Great! I can help with the Esperanto-version if you need it, i am fluent in it (used it professionally for several years). I've been working on some notes for courses and a dictionary in both Occitan and Walloon recently but am a bit lost in how to structure it and present it, maybe that could be something to adapt too. I know some people who would be very interested in creating such a course.

will send you software & Breeze instructions as soon as the dishes are washed (early February )

Just put them outside for a couple of hours Huw, that should do it!

OMG!
Are you still waiting for me to send you stuff, Dee? If so, Sori, sori, sori! - I'm getting so forgetful.
You should have given me a nudge (by which I mean a kick up the arsenic).
Please e-mail or PM me or ignore this if you have sorted everything out yourself.

(Do I need to return Nia's swses? )

That would be fantastic. Once we're robust enough to throw the doors open, we'll definitely be making a lot of noise about it...

Paid becso dim, Huw. The truth is I've been so busy trying to buy a house and changing my job that I've hardly had a moment to do anything apart from just about keep up with the weekly email. The sale should be going through quite quickly though I think, so I'm going to be busy packing and organising things in my 'free time' so I can't actually see me getting round to the Esperanto or anything else until I'm settled in Llandysul with a little more furniture than a mattress, a dining suite and a bookcase

Diolch Dee. That's a relief.
Dw i'n gobeithio bod popeth yn rhedeg yn "smwdd" gyda dy symud a newid swydd.
Give me a nudge or a kick up the ... when you're settled into the up-an-coming Welsh enclave of Llandysul.
Pob lwc.
