There were four students present. All of us had been in the same section of
Saturday’s workshop. So the class was
devoted to a review of some of the topics presented there, linking them to what we had previously
discussed.

Again most the lights in
the classroom were out this evening when I arrived. However, this time I was able to
find one of the building staff and get it fixed before class started. Much better!

on my left hand:)
I fought the saw, and the saw won.

At least half the lights in the classroom were out this evening. Casually looking around was no problem, but reading my notes or the fine print in the dictionary was hard. I felt foggy in my head, and made several stupid mistakes. I mentioned this to Wes, and he will try to get it fixed for next time. Just in case, I might bring a small flashlight.

Wes handed out copies of the word puzzle for those of us (like me) who
couldn’t make it out to last week’s pub night.

Wes suggested that we look at Raidió Rí-Rá. The site
has some Irish text with sound files of it being read aloud by native speakers.
The plan to have our March 16 class at Merlins Rest is still
on. Wes and Mary are thinking about some exercise involving numbers. Open Mic there starts at 8PM.
This could be either a challenge or an opportunity :-)>
