22nd April, as most people (especially in the blogging world), were aware, was Earth Day. Yesterday -and beyond – we were supposed to think about how we treat Mother Earth. We celebrated it with planting lots of seeds and such for the allotment and the garden as we chatted about what Earth Day means to us. We also chatted about last year’s flooding and knowing that the chances of it happening again are very high.
We didn’t focus on the downside however, just talking about how we can contribute and help in anyway we can. Always.
As we are still in Downshifting Week, and life is becoming less cluttered and stressed, I decided to try something new and different. I’ve always wanted to learn Italian. I love the way language flows – and the passion! So, I’ve signed up for lessons. Initially, I’m learning via a podcast for now. Joe and I have been talking about learning to play the drums together. So that’s next 
Well, I had no idea it was that day until i saw the google image.. Unfortunately, I couldnt do anything to honour that day but next year maybe i will!!
Okk, have a nice day
Italian? what a great language, I wish I had learnt more before visiting Venice, although we picked up a bit whilst out there. What an achievement to be able to fluently speak another language, I would love to be able to. Good luck hun!
Despite some downshifting, the last couple of days have been significantly more stressed and cluttered – I need to focus on more time management! Well done Di Di, you are more motivated than I could ever be! xxx
Sad about the flooding – but what a great image. Anyway, I hope it doesn’t repeat this year. And how cool that you are learning Italian! I do hope you enjoy it and stick with it. And although I love to hear people speak it, I’d have no idea what they were saying. LOL.
