Oh hi! Ok, let me give it another try
Um hi, hello. Are we still here? I lost access a month or two ago and only just got around to regaining it (as with most things in life, it was very easy to get back inโฆonce I made the minimal effort). Whatโs new? What are we talking about these days?
Such a wonderful, wholesome experience at Finca La Zara in Gurabo, Puerto Rico - a family-owned and family-run farm and restaurant growing cassava, corn, pumpkin, peppers and just about any other fruit, vegetable or plant you can think of! Delicious! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฝ๐
YES! I do have one to speak to (my partner, also one of the reasons Iโm learning). But itโs just *so* much easier for us to communicate the day-to-day in English ๐
Hahaha. But did you start them yetโฆ.?
I found it helpful as a beginner actually, more about learning words than anything else, but thatโs as good a starting point as anything else right?!
A month late, but thank you!!
Reconfirmed that I love #NYC last week. Thanks to the lady who offered (unprompted) to take a photo of this solo traveller ๐ธ
300 days! But I finished the @duolingoverde.bsky.social Arabic course over a month ago (did I kill the owl?). Have just been repeating the same phrases ever since. What next? Recommendations please ๐ #langsky
Sunday Sunset in Athens #ฮฮธฮฎฮฝฮฑ #acropolis
Had to leave my seat by this pool this morning because I was TOO HOT! Happy December #sorrynotsorry ๐ @acehotel.bsky.social in Athens

On the 20th anniversary of the #BoxingDaytsunami, which killed 225,000 people across 14 countries, I spoke to people in #SriLanka at the time about their experiences then - and hopes for Sri Lanka today.
Thank you to those who trusted me to share their stories: citizen-femme.com/2024/12/26/b...
This city is filled with emotion. Itโs not just about a new beginning; itโs about dealing with the past. People here say that when they took to the streets [13 years ago], what they wanted was a peaceful change. They wanted democracy. They wanted freedom - Zeina Khodr for @aljazeera.com ๐๐๐ #syria
One day I hope to be able to read some of these books in Arabic. For reference on how long it might be until I can, I am currently reading thisโฆ ๐คฃ
Ever wondered what it's like to stay in one of the world's most iconic hotels? I took on the task of finding out. With Rolls Royce transfers, gold cappuccinos and butlers to run hot baths, it was a tough assignment. What can I say, I'll do anything for my craft. citizen-femme.com/2024/12/02/b...
Take away coffee outdoors at a festive cafe
Todayโs morning coffee pilgrimage โ๏ธ๐ #athens #greece
It made me laugh!
Christmas tree with sparse decorations
They triedโฆ I think?! Christmas at my local supermarket. ๐Athens, Greece
Haha, now that would be an interesting museum!
Athens (obviously) faced the same. But whatโs lovely is that a few of the metro stations now display some of the pieces excavated nearby. Mini underground museums as you commute!
Oh I remember this day well! I was stuck at Athens airport for seven hours, before managing to book a different flight (to Heathrow). Glad you got to your destination in the end too!
Oh this is such a kind thing to ask for your sister! I think in general I use social media more for entertainment than work, so itโs hard to say how Iโm finding it for work. But will say Iโve barely used X for the last year - so this has to be a better option for the fact Iโm even opening it!
Another great #travelwriter list here. Found a few more familiar faces in it too!
Excellent, Iโd call that a good result!
I get this, and I quite like it too - just would also like to carve out a few weekends to fully relax!
Oh this is very exciting! Leaving the house yes, but more so the book signing. Look forward to seeing more from it!
I agree, it is a great day for writing. Especially in Athens (where Iโm based) as shops, supermarkets etc are closed, so less distraction. But, yes! Rest is so important. Yet to find a solution.
Always. Same again next weekend?
Haha yes, with you on the not finishing too!
