Perspiration Pals 4 September 2024

Hi there, Pals! I’ve nearly forgotten about the thread… so I’ve picked it up and here we are. I have absolutely no inspiration, to be honest, but it has happened before so it shouldn’t stop me from trying. I started work in the morning and I still have quite a lot to do so I feel a bit rushed. I hate feeling rushed. Do you? How do you handle it? I get tense and frustrated which is the perfect example of how not to handle it. There’s a lot going on and I find it really difficult to get up early in the morning.

Hoy es miércoles (yes, Duolingo is still holding me hostage) It was stretching day with Brian and since it was a relatively short routine I didn’t have to get up as early as yesterday or the day before. I really enjoy Brian’s new challenge. And oddly enough, my arm, *knocks on wood, is not complaining.

Moving on to our fact-finder fragment, did you know that at its economic height, in the 5th and 4th centuries BC, Ancient Greece was the most advanced economy in the world? Also, ancient Greeks wouldn't eat beans as they thought that they contained the souls of the dead. How they came to this conclusion I have no idea…

All right, Pals, I need to go back to work, be good and read at least 5 pages from a book of your choice today. (random piece of advice)
