My Challenge for 2020: Day 35 I'm back after three very busy days. I have to manage to deal with several issues before holiday. But you know what: I'm looking forward to skiing in the mountains for one week! I'm leaving home with my family tomorrow afternoon and we're arriving around on saturday noon. My sons are very excited because this year we're spending holiday with a couple of friends of ours and their tow children.

My Challenge for 2020: Day 34 I did it! Today I succeeded in changing ten ball-bearings on my full-suspension MTB. It was extremely hard to remove the old ball-bearings. I needed to use a special extractor tool. It was even harder to put the new ball-bearings back. Thankfully I found a small British company on the Internet that sold specific spacers machined for my bike. One more time I took advantage of my new language skills when I had to write them some questions. N.B.: My English language resolution for 2020: to write something every day for at least 2 months!

My Challenge for 2020: Day 33 This afternoon I went to the Louvre Museum with my family. There was a special exhibition around Leonard de Vinci. It was very impressive seeing so close his pages written, drawn or painted five hundred years ago. He could work on a very large range of topics: painting, drawing, sculpture, anatomy, mathematics, optical, mechanics, geometry, fluid physics... and much more! All this without computer, it's really amazing. N.B.: My English language resolution for 2020: to write something every day for at least 2 months!

My Challenge for 2020: Day 32 Today is a special day for me. I had my first business text conversation with a British client. It's quite pleasant using my new language skills in the real life. It is not a big deal but an importante victory for me. That encourages me to make further efforts for my English learning. I'm looking forward to knowing same feeling with an oral discussion...

My Challenge for 2020: Day 31 Today I discussed about business behaviour with my English teacher. I explained to him my French point of view, then he presented to me the British way. For exemple we talked about using first name in our workplace or with our clients. Another exemples, we shared about punctuality, humour and physical contact. I discovered I was personally very close from the British behaviours. Maybe I've got British gene without knowing it!

My Challenge for 2020: Day 30 Tomorrow afternoon I'm training two of mine new co-workers. They need to learn to use our CRM software. At the same time, it's a good opportunity for me to explain them our company's business strategy. Even they work in a small plant, they have to understand how to deal with another facilities of our group.

My Challenge for 2020: Day 29 Today my noon meal was a very friendly time. A colleague of my department invited us to have lunch together at our office for the Candlemas. Each one brought something to drink and eat. We usually make salty and sweet pancakes at the feast of Candlemas, so we did. I was committed to bringing some typical sugar from my countryside. It's a brown sugar with a taste of caramel. I assume they liked it very much because nothing left at all!

My Challenge for 2020: Day 28 I visited my parents in law at the end of the day. They have been retired for eighteen years. Before that, my father in law was a quite famous pastry cook - chocolatier - glacier. He had his own patisserie where around ten employees worked. Now he keeps cooking, but only for us and his small children. N.B.: My English language resolution for 2020: to write something every day for at least 2 months!

My Challenge for 2020: Day 27 A friend of mine owns a small company that manufactures wooden and metal goods like doors, portals, gates, and all sorts of furniture. Four weeks ago, I sent him my plans for doors I need to finish my kitchen and bathroom furniture. I asked him to make my doors with oak wood. This morning my friend called me on the phone saying "your doors are ready". I've just picked them up to my house. Now I'm looking forward to installing them.
