I blogged ages ago about buying a book related to something to do with my PhD that was in French (the book, not my PhD - I would quite like to finish it this century!), and that I was a bit nervous about reading it. I have now started it and it's proving not too bad - I'd do it a lot quicker if it was in Romanian rather than French, but I'm glad that I haven't totally lost all my French, and in fact I'm finding that just reading it without looking up every single word is giving me the gist of what is going on, and it is being helpful in my thinking. So that's good - I'm rather pleased with myself :)
In other news, I wonder how many times I will think, just after lunch, "I'll just lie down for 5 minutes" and then wake up an hour or two later, before I learn that I really don't just lie down for 5 minutes.
