Disposable plastic bags, do you use them?
I think many of us regularly spend some time waiting in a queue for the till in grocery stores. And so do I. And in my country they sell disposable plastic bags so you can buy one or whatever quantity you need and pack all the stuff you've bought in it. And almost every evening I meet the same people in my local grocery store buying new disposable plastic bags. New, every day... Of course it's very convenient not to carry a used disposable bag or reusable grocery bag (not plastic of course) with you. But I do it and when I day by day see the same people buying new plastic bags I feel myself slightly irritated, because a lifespan of these bags is way less than an hour. We use too much plastic in our every day life, almost all goods we buy are packed in plastic or made of plastic and isn't it a good idea to reduce this amount at least a little bit by forcing ourselves to stop using disposable plastic things like grocery store's bags?
What do you think about this idea? Do you use disposable plastic bags? If so, do you use them several times? Is there any country where disposable plastic are already forbidden or party forbidden?

Have you ever had a dream in foreign language?
Have you ever had a dream in foreign language you were learning at that time? Yesterday I spent almost entire evening listening to different podcasts in English while working and this night it's happened. The dream was entirely in English and there wasn't any word from my native language and when I woke up I still remembered almost the whole stuff. Listening to different podcasts and radio shows in English for several hours in a row is a part of my daily routine but this's never happened before.

Speaking to yourself - is it wired habbit or not?
It wouldn't reveal something new for anyone who ever tried to learn a foreign language seriously outside of the country where it's spoken if I sad that one of the major obstacles to achieve this goal is lack of a partner to speak with. I now you may say: "Wait a minute, why do you think we are all here?" Yeah, but there can be different circumstances and great places like this did not always exist. So leave it this way. I have my own way to cope with this problem and I always thought that it's a bit weird :) I speak to myself in English! And be sure I am ok. I find this habit very useful, but I never tell it to anyone for the reason I've said before. And yesterday while listening to Luke's English podcast I came across one episode where Luke speaks with Emina Tuzovic, non-native English speaker who has learned the language to a proficient level and got CPE (Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English). And she has or at least used to have the same wierd habit as I do. And she also finds it very useful. And here's the question. How many of you actually have the same habbit? Do you find it useful?
Here is the link to Luke's English podcast episode I mentioned before https://teacherluke.co.uk/2019/11/19/627-eminas-long-journey-to-english-proficiency/
