Ce matin il pleut mais maintenant il y a un peu de soleil et il commence a retour de normalité apres la fete du paques. Christ est mort, Christ est ressuscité et Christ reviendra.  Vie, mort et renaissance. Cela me rappelle le printemps qui survient après l'obscurité de l'hiver. Le printemps apporte l'espoir, tout comme foi en Dieu.

j'étudie maintenant et passe en revue la révision du chapitre 5. J'ai un livre électronique interactif que je lis en ce moment, donc je travaille juste sur les exercices qu'il contient et je pratique de courts paragraphes de discours prêts pour TMA 04.(oral)

This morning I woke up with the birdsong. The weather was lovely outside and I wondered if it was too good to be true.Has the winter really gone yet? so I went to look outside and yes, it felt a little bit warmer! However I felt cautious and put my warm navy coat and red beret and scarf on just in case.

             ✝️
I looked at the calendar and it saw that today was good friday. I just had time to get my shoes on and join in the Walk of Witness a walk  following the Cross of Christ through the village and singing "The old rugged cross" well I do love singing!

I had not been to a public gathering since before the pandemic so a bit nervous!  Saw some ladies I know and we had a quick chat before setting out on the walk. The walk itself was mostly silent with hymns at the begining and at the end of walk, but silent during the walk, as a mark of respect for "Our Lord". 

 The vicar as usual went on ahead to hold up the traffic as all the congregation crossed over the main road together.  A lot of the walkers waved to people they knew along the high street. We came to a halt outside the Methodist
Church. Each year the Easter friday service is held in different churches or villages, we are very multi -faith here. I believe It is good to get together with others  to show strength of feeling for something important. This includes protest marches too!

I think people of all faiths everywhere should visit each others churches from time to time, and join together with other faiths, instead of having all this fighting in the world! 

 It was nice to have a cup of tea and cake afterwards and a chat to some of the lonely old age pensioners of the communiry, some who have suffered,  struggled and survived the Covid pandemic, as well as the on- going cost of living crisis. It was a great social occasion as well as a time of deep reflection.

Time now to get back to earth and  home, to get down to some serious TMA studying!

This morning I am interviewing myself in french for the Oral TMA04 using my recording app. I did it in the form of an episode from the TV "Mastermind!"

I asked myself to state my chosen subject( just like in Mastermind!) which I then answered in french.

Why have I chosen this subject? I gave the reasons in french.
What are the advantages and disadvantages?

I answered the question fully.

So it continued....

At the end I then said out loud to myself "you have correctly answered 20 questions, with no passes but plenty of hesitations and a few mis- pronounciations.
You are now allowed a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit!"

I think I have found a great technique to use to practise french orals (as well as TMAs and EMAs) by setting myself a series of 20 questions, just like in the programme Masterrmind! Doing it this way should cover every possible question and  angle!
This was only the semifinal 
Tomorrow I will begin  practising it again and try to do it all over  and I will try to do it correctly next time!!!

This weekend it was quite damp,  nevertheless I took myself off for a walk in the afternoon, around the outskirts of the village, as I was feeling stressed with homework and badly needed some exercise. There was still a brief moment of full sunshine, between the April showers so I took the opportunity!
I noticed there was still lots of blossoms on the trees and plenty of spring flowers around the village like daffodils, crocus, primroses, and tulips. 

The birds were singing away softly and cheerfully in the nearby trees, I had a small bag of fine breadcrumbs for the birds, which I scattered onto the grass verges near the park and the cemetery. I didn't stop to sit down on the bench this time because it was too cold.

The lake was visible, shimmering in the afternoon sunlight, but didn't feel like walking right through the next field as the grass was too high and wet,  I would have done so if the weather had been drier. Besides, I dont like to wander too far from the beaten track.

This time I took the other path on the left, that one led back into the main village, market place, church and village green.

There was not a soul about,  it was eerily quiet, everywhere was deserted it was like a sleepy hollow, a ghost town, hardly anyone in the shops or in the streets. A few dog walkers far off in the distance on the village green,  floating like ghosts in the foggy sunshine.
I then hurried quickly back home before the light faded and all the vampires came out! lol!

This afternoon after a morning of hard study,  I did a bit of pottering about in the garden. There is not much in the garden  yet, a few daffodils and some tulips, but  it is good to see some bight colours after the dark greys of the winter. Spring has sprung at last now where is the sunshine?

Je lis mon e-book 📱📖 interactif et je prends des notes dans mon carnet digital. Je trouve cette section scientifique intéressante et j'apprends beaucoup de vocabulaire scientifique français.

"I will be with you always even to the end of time."

"In my fathers house are many rooms(mansions)

I am going there to prepare a place for you."

Les Français estiment qu'il n'y a pas assez d'argent dépensé pour la recherche scientifique dans leur pays par rapport à d'autres pays.

Pendant la pandémie de Covid 19, les Français ont estimé qu'ils auraient dû avoir un vaccin disponible dans leur propre pays, mais en raison du manque de financement dans la recherche scientifique, aucun vaccins à été promus.

Vendredi, et quand je suis allé me ​​promener dehors, le soleil brille il y a beaucoup de soleil,  j'ai senti la chaleur sur mon visage, pour la première fois cette année ! Je pouvais sentir que le printemps était dans l'air ! Quelque chose se réveillait dans la nature

C'était dans la douce  chaude de l'air, le clapotis ludique de l'eau dans les ruisseaux qui coulent rapidement,  le pépiement joyeux et pressant des oiseaux dans les arbres. Il se passait quelque chose, quelque chose changeait autour de moi.
J'ai marché le long de la route du parc, sur le bord de l'herbe verte, tout à coup j'ai été soumis à une explosion de jonquilles dorées. qui ils m'ont ravies!

Cela m'est immédiatement venu à l'esprit, le poème de Wordswoth, sur les jonquilles. Il a dû rencontrer le printemps aussi et a été inspiré pour prendre la plume sur papier pour exprimer cette scène étonnante, délicieuse et joyeuse qu'il avait rencontrée lors de sa promenade.

C'était comme si chaque fibre de mon être devenait vivante après des mois de mort et d'enterrement à l'intérieur à la maison, à l'abri des froids arctiques de l'hiver. Maintenant, Je me sens libre!
