Today was a typical Darwin dry season day. It was cold at 8.00am when I set of for a ride with a friend. The thermometer said 21 degrees. By 10.00am it was 28, which, along with some nice dry southeasterly winds makes it almost perfect.I rode 10 minutes to Ash's house, then we rode through Brinkin, to Casuarina beach (above) then along the foreshore to the Nightcliff markets for breakfast, before heading home.
Along the way, I saw my friend and original Japanese language teacher 'M' walking purposefully toward the university. ”みーーーさん。。おはようございます。をげんきですか”。How clever I felt in front of my friend, addressing my petite friend in Japanese. The intriguing thing was how 'normal' it felt for me to say something in Japanese and, the lack of the usual self consciousness I feel when I speak aloud in にほんご。Perhaps all this study is paying dividends. It is especially rewarding to be given such positive support.
Time to read the paper and drink some coffee.
わたしの、じてんしゃにします。わたしたち（わたし、ともだちアスリ）ははちじはんーじゅうじはん、しました。わたしたちの、みーーーせんせいわみます。わたしにじゅういちじ、でかえります。
Now..I realise the above is a true mess. K..please help me with corrections tonight.

わたしたち oh, wonderful. Y
ou already master 'たち'.
わたしたち（私と、私のともだち、あしゅりー）は、８じはん から、１０じはん まで
、（さいくりんぐを しました。）
みます You want to say 'see'
'see' means 'みる' exactly. But this case we use 'あう'.
わたしたちは、Mせんせいに あいました。
わたしは、１１じに かえりました。
I know you haven't studied the past form yet. So I'm sorry for my writing the past form now.
But your writing is almost perfect.
Great! I have to study my English more and more.
