It is the first time I’m writing these notes by hand, as I used to do for my German diary entries. I plan to dictate them later to improve my pronunciation and intonation and, of course, to produce a typed version after correcting many misinterpreted words and phrases.
What have I done so far this morning? I started with English exercises. First, while still in bed, I read an article from The New York Times. The article dealt with reforms proposed by Elon Musk and others to reconstruct the federal administration, aiming to save approximately 2.3 billion dollars.
Afterwards, I listened to Brave New World, repeating it sentence by sentence and later paragraph by paragraph. I now have the impression that my pronunciation is slowly improving.
Next, I moved on to my physical exercises. I used my ergobike for 20 minutes, then focused on strengthening my hips—hopefully effectively—followed by about an hour of Feldenkrais exercises. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go for a stroll immediately afterwards because it was raining. So, I took the opportunity to write this entry for my diary.
Later, I started my walk, assuming the rain had stopped—but it hadn’t.
I was rather surprised that I could complete this walk despite the rain and wind, and without a cane.

It is the first time I’m writing this notices with my hand, how I did it for my german diary articles. I will dictate it to improve my pronunciation and my intonation and, of course , to get a machine text after correcting a lot of wrongly understood words and phrases. What have I done up to now from the morning. I was starting with English exercises. Firstly, yet in my bed, I was reading an articles from the New York Times. This article deals with the reform by Elon Musk and others for reconstructing the federal administration to save money of about 2.3 billion dollars.
Then I was listening to Brave New World and repeating it sentence by sentence and later on paragraph by paragraph. I have the impression now the pronouncation get slowly better. After that I started with my corporate exercises. I used my ergobike 20 minutes, then I was powering my hips, hopefully, followed by Feldenkrais exercises for about one hour. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go to stroll immediately after that, because it was raining, so I took the opportunity to write this post for my diary.
Later, I start my walk, have assumed the rain has finished, but it wasn’t.
