We are moving on from last week's Fartlekless Friday, and it probably seems a bit tortuous to try to get some continuity in the post titles. I have resorted to German, but I suppose it is in keeping with my little foray into Latin in an earlier post! It may also seem to some that … Continue reading Bergtrek Friday
