An uncharacteristically positive start
Well! I’ve written and rewritten this opening paragraph about six times now, the vibe was off every single time - usually in these posts, I check my progress against the goals I set myself this time last year. I say ‘goals’, but they’re more sort of general guidelines; I don’t like to be too strict … Continue reading An uncharacteristically positive start
New year, same old me
Listen. I’m still processing 2017, and I think it’s deeply unfair of you to make me embark upon yet another year I’m not ready for with so little warning. I hear what some of you are screaming at your screens, it allegedly happens like this every twelve months. To those vocal few I say this: … Continue reading New year, same old me
Record of achievement
You know, it feels like only yesterday people were talking about the summer solstice, and how the nights were soon going to be drawing in… and now, bloody hell, we’ve had Christmas and New Year, and it's time to be off on another collective journey around the sun.

Taking stock
For those of you who followed me here from my old blog, you'll know that I used to set myself yearly goals on New Year's Day and then write a post at the end of the year see how I’ve done against these goals. Considering that I did this on New Year’s Day, usually while … Continue reading Taking stock
That was the year that was
Well hello there! And welcome to another year on Den Språkliga Skatan! For this post, I just wanted to do a little housekeeping - look back on the monumental howling clusterfuck that was 2016 and a look forward to what will be happening for me in 2017. With some languages sprinkled around for good measure, … Continue reading That was the year that was
