Some days ago I joined the website ConversationExchange.com and, as it's clearly obvious, allows people to exchange contacts so they can learn from each other. Since I speak Italian and English I have received many requests of contacts from users whose mother tongue is the ones I want to practise with: Japanese, Korean but mainly Spanish.

With one of the latter I had a videochat today. He was a very interesting guy, we had some fun and we learnt a lot in each other's languages...he even spoke Italian :D

So there will definitely be a second conversation :)

Pretty boring day today at home so I was about to forgot to add my Daily Good Thing.
Definitely definitely DEFINITELY is the fact that I'm getting so much better with my ukulele, and today I had this distinctive feeling when I was practicing Hakuna Matata and I'm finally getting the hang of it - so proud of moi!

Today's Daily Good Thing was an adorable puppy that was wearing a cute sweater and was wobbling walking with its human.
It was absolutely adorable and I wanted to take a picture of it but it clearly was rushing toward the near park

Despite the vegan breakfast eaten at my friend's (some kind of greenish porridge with chia seeds, banana and something else) and the devastating death of Alan Rickman (which caused more pain and tears that I'm willing to admit) I arrange a meeting with my dear friend Alessandra currently working at Disneyland.
She will pay me a visit during her 2 days off next week, I will go to her as soon as I can (February, probably). Honestly I can't wait. I have to refresh my French, zut alors!

Finally today I was able to arrange a date with my friend - last time I saw him was almost one year ago. That's the problem when you have super busy celebrity friends.
We had a nice dinner with burritos (my first burrito) and drinks - lots of drinks :D

Today it was the first day I actually took the tube since I came here from holidays.
Shame on me.
But there are quite a lot of Daily Good Things.
First, according to my doctor, my health is getting better (yay!).
Second, I stumbled across the Earth Angel tutorial video for ukulele and it was super easy to learn.
Instead of the hour planned I practiced for 2 hours without even realizing it.
I am definitely becoming addicted to the ukulele.
AND I have done 2x50 squats and...well, much less lounges and I will probably regret it tomorrow...

WHAT IS THIS?
Is it the ukulele chords for the extended opening theme of Steven Universe?
Yes.
Yes it is.
And I L O V E playing it, and again, and again, and again.
