And his sock drawer... well, not much better than mine. The thing is, we don't have time to mess with drawers. We'd rather spend all day messing with music, languages, kids and... (I'm missing something...) oh yes, our jobs! <br />He used to be my English teacher and somebody told me that you never really finish learning a language so, I decided to keep him. He liked the idea, I think.<br />Barnsley town is OK and I'm not a big shopping lover, so it suits me fine. It has improved with the years. What I really like is the walks around there. Elsecar, Wentworth, Hoyland, Worsbrough, etc. you name it, I've been there.<br />That's all for now. I really like this article about small achievements.<br />Bye, bye.

That's not to say we shouldn't strive for what we want in life , just not beat ourselves up if sometimes something is beyound our reach.
