Important lesson: just because it is hot, doesn't mean I should have an ice cream cone.

I learned that I "can" work on the computer without a mouse ( using that nasty little pad thing ) but that I really HATE it! ( teach me to forget the mouse when coming to the library!)

Today I learned that a bowl of fruit salad and a piece of bread and butter for breakfast, and 2 olives as a snack, doesn't add up to enough food when one goes for a 10 km run followed by a 2.5 hour bike ride.

not today, but recently enough, I learned that there used to be free wifi in all trains and train stations in Switzerland, but this is no more. Bit more complicated to show your e-ticket when you have to unlock your data to do so.

everyone wants to write a novel people love talking about writing they dont sit & write I was in Bolivia and got talking to a 25 year old man. He asked what I was doing. Research for a novel. Yes, he said nonchalantly, I think I'll write a book.

An argot was imported to the City from the USA when the UK's financial markets were deregulated in the 1980s. The turn of phrase used to refer to the main man on a trading floor was The Big Swinging Dick.

baz so true! since i am a baby at fiction, when people hear that they say "wow i should write a novel" then they throw out really lame ideas that they want me to approve i also learned that the us writing industry is quite a scam: learn travel writing on a cruise write your memoirs @ a tuscan villa course dont you dare submit your work to us! unless you subscribe to our website sign up for a course taught by a nobody & friend of editor
