25th Wedding Anniversary

It was exactly 25 years ago to the day that we got married. The preceding days in 1998 were rather cold and windy, and even our wedding day started cloudy. However, the sky soon cleared up, and the weather turned into a typical summer day. We first went to the registrar's office to tie the knot, which was quick - roughly 8 minutes maximum - since apart from us, the two official "vitnesses", and the registrar, no one else was there. When the short ceremony ended, we rushed to the church, where all our invited friends and family were there. The whole process in the church took almost an hour, but it seemed like a split second for us. Despite all our "enemies" (mostly family members) and intricacies, nothing could do us apart. We've been through thick and thin. We have weathered the storms, and we already buried those who were against our relationship and marriage. 
Nevertheless, casting our minds back, although there were certain things we would handle differently if we could go back in time, there is one thing that both of us are a hundred per cent sure of: we would tie the knot again. It was the happiest and most memorable day of our lives...

The final plan

I have a plan, so crazy that it might just work. I checked my books and tried to estimate how to proceed with my preparation, i.e which books should be the first and how to process the units, so the devised schedule is the following: Completing the 'Straight to advanced' and 'Ready for Advanced' books. They consist of 10 lessons and 5 review units each, so if I study intensively, I can finish these books in three-four weeks. Learning by heart the advanced phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocation books. (Plus the 'Don't get me wrong' pocketbook that contains brilliant idioms and collocations.) These books consist of 60 units each, so if I take three lessons per week, I can finish them by the end of August. Completing the 'Destination C1-C2' book. This is the toughest of all the previously listed books, including word formation, idioms, phrasal verbs, grammar, etc. I could go through this book while dealing with the 'Straight to advanced' book si...

53 is the new 35

Nah, I'm just kidding, 53 cannot be 35 in any way. When I first heard this term, fifty is the new forty, I thought something was wrong with my ears. Even the explanation of this locution seemed dodgy. I'm pretty sure that this is a kind of self-hypnosis technique used by those who are unable to accept their age and refuse to take notice of the natural order of things. (It's always weird to see the results of what the scalpel of cosmetic surgeons did to some poor, deluded individuals.) Anyway, I found the tail of the mojo and tried to get it back completely. I completed the homework Charlette had given me a month ago - it wasn't easy to complete, though - and booked some lessons as well. I'm looking forward to these classes. Nevertheless, my mind was struggling tremendously with the homework. My brain is still not as fresh as it used to be, so I won't be surprised if it turns out to be a balderdash. The weather turned freezing. Well, it's not as cold as it is...
