Our neighbour(the kind jolly man) has passed away yesterday. He suffered from his lungs and heart(a smoker) Not that we have had close contact, except to just say 'Hello'  over the garden fence, but we get on well with him and his wife.

After saying hello to him the same morning, he just dropped down dead a few hours later in the street!
We saw the ambulance arrive to take him away. I am still in shock! Another friend up the road is ill with bronchitis. There seems to be a lot of lung problems in our street at the present time.

Apart from all that I am still trying to study whenever I can!
Every day. I read the news in french, watch france24 in french, and I am reading a collection of short stories in french. It seems I am now at last enjoying the fruits of my labours of three years study of French! lol!

Now I can read French books and watch interesting french films not bad huh? Thanks OU ! 👍

Slowly starting to gear up for October, when I will be starting studying a 30 credit course in the English language.  I have enjoyed studying English and liked very much the module  "Creativity in language." As I like writing. I have really learned a lot on this course!
