I will keep posting photos to inspire you!<br /><br />Stephanie V - yes I can imagine the Irish Language debate is like the French one only here you don't need it for a job in the Civil Service except at exam level - to get into some Universities you need a pass. Creates resentment outside of the pockets where it is the native language - highly supported areas.<br /><br />Susan C - I dunno where I get the time, I multitask badly I think, lots of started but not many finished projects! But I try to pack a lot into life. It's too short not to!<br /><br />Mimi - agree about the church, there's too much oul' nonsense, latest guff about the revised language in the mass to make it more sacred, more inaccessible to the common man and will alienate even more is my thinking on it. Look forward to checking with your blog when you post your list!<br /><br />Brownieville girl - I think I learnt more Irish doing homework some years ago than in my own schooldays too. Enjoy the list-making!<br /><br />Michelle - thanks and enjoy your task! Hope you're having a good spring in nicer weather than the constant drizzle we have here! <br /><br />Bye for now all - keep me posted when your awards list goes up!<br /><br />Catherine xxxxCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-59309682372920201982011-02-17T04:33:47.783+00:002011-02-17T04:33:47.783+00:00Oh, you big sweetie.

Reminds me of the French language situation here in Canada. Most of us can read some - or a lot - but not so many can speak with any fluency at all. It is a requirement for any federal government jobs, though, so that's motivation.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-71566086532578775632011-02-13T15:52:03.543+00:002011-02-13T15:52:03.543+00:00Hello Catherine,
