"Però no és la mateixa llengua!" (But it's not the same language!) And yet we were communicating 100% in Catalan/Valencian! And, I picked up a free book from old library stock on my way out ... in Catalan. 2/2

Interesting interaction when I went to collect my library card this morning. Asked the librarian if I could use Valencian when dealing with the library staff. No problem, and she wanted to know where I acquired the language. Told her I did some Catalan at university. 1/2

It's crazy making. And not what we signed up for.

Happy Monday news: I am back in contact with my former teacher of Breton from my Cardiff days. I haven't heard from her in 16 years, so it's great her daughter put us back in touch!

I hate that each publishing house has its own tweaks and twists in their publishing style. Unpopular opinion: each publisher should have a database of all published material in their preferred format which authors can access and simply click on and add to their bibliography.
