@hansw I have planted a veggie garden here at home this year; have done it in the past, but not when I am on extensive travel, as it requires care.
Went looking for little plants and the garden centers are pretty much bare -- one lady at one told me they had a lot of people who never did this before, now coming to get plants for food growing.
Resulting in unexpected shortage. Still haven't found the swiss chard I wanted. Other plants are in the ground, weather has been good this week.
Have you thought of using perennials and permaculture principles?
With a bit of thought and great design you could have a resilient garden that would allow you to enjoy it fully and feel ok when you're away.
Well i'm afraid that when you go into it there'll be a LOT more tabs open...😅
Est-ce que tu fais ton café à l'ancienne ? 
Pourquoi pas?
Of course I do feel that 💖 beating in french.
Mais de temps en temps, ça pourrait être cool.
Cela ferait votre 4ème langue n'est-ce pas?
Oui, j’ai un cœur et une âme européens, semble-t-il -- je le sens fortement quand je suis là, c’est difficile de retourner en Amérique du Nord.
Je n’ai eu Français classes que pendant deux ans, en tant que sujet à l’école primaire; Je peux comprendre beaucoup plus, lire, que je ne pouvais parler ou écrire. Mais c’est une belle langue.
En voyageant dans ma patrie ancestrale bien-aimée, le Portugal, j’ai rencontré et conversé avec des gens de nombreux pays.
Un matin, je me suis même engagé dans une conversation, dans une jolie petite auberge à Lisboa, avec un couple Français, non scénarisé et sans aide par la traduction; c’était amusant.
Et je leur ai dit que j’aimais même les entendre, les sons et la fluidité de la langue.
Il m’a dit que oui, c’était comme des petits oiseaux gazouillant, et nous avons eu quelques rires, café et apprécié un bon moment.
#rgxJournal pouquoi non?
LOL, "Pourquoi pas" means "why not" ie I'd love to ^^
It's funny, I have found french being so floral and sometimes too complicated. But I think it is linked to my personal story and how the language was used to limit my perception of things.
When I learned a new language I felt as freer as I've never felt.
Free to think by myself to say what i wanted and to dissociate with what i didn't like.
A language also is more than sounds even if it's beautiful. It implies culture, ways of thinking and of being, of course history runs through it.
So when you love - or don't - a language, it is like if all this was coming into play.
I have been attracted to Japanese and sign language as well.
