But of course you'll get to grips with it, and learn loads as you go, and do it all with bilingual panache. And you sound as though you are energised and excited by it all, so that's brilliant! xxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324023291620987069.post-13770778772520755842015-01-25T18:47:46.442+00:002015-01-25T18:47:46.442+00:00What a brilliant thing to share!

We are...Hello Bernice,<br /><br />The road sign is such fun!<br /><br />We are absolutely stunned by the demands of your new job. It all sounds like a very steep, if not a precipice, of a learning curve. And, to be coping in two languages simultaneously is most impressive. You are Wonderwoman!<br /><br />Whatever, you sound as if you are enjoying the experience and that has to be the main part. And, what a sense of achievement you will have when the website is firing on all cylinders!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324023291620987069.post-19483067097383292312015-01-25T04:34:48.286+00:002015-01-25T04:34:48.286+00:00All I can say is rockstar lady!!!!
