"Even" lots of house ownership learning

I've heard the word "even" a lot lately. It's used in a funny and interesting way. It almost means "my bad". For example, if you're giving directions and you say "left turn", then realise later you meant right turn, you'd say "right turn, even". You don't say anything about how it was a mistake, "even" covers that for you. 

Our older dog is mildly sick. She's never had a cold in her life, that I can recall, but she has a runny nose right now. Actually, it's already getting better thanks to the local vet. We were nervous to try any vet, so we quickly looked around and asked around. Recommendations came quickly and we tried one, with warnings of "its expensive". They were great and not too expensive at all, in fact cheaper than DC. Turns out our dog has a cold, and seems to be stressed, can't overlook that pets feel the pain of transitions too. We're thinking about pet insurance, but just like the states, it may or may not be worth it...

Our older daughter is loving her cooking class. It's an hour drive each way, which causes the locals to call us "mad". Mad means crazy, mental means mind blowing. The whole family comes, so it makes for great conversation time in the car. This time I took my youngest daughter to the closest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the class. Actually, I hate to say, it was quite a disappointing AONB. I've been spoiled by mental ones, but this one was "just a nice big hill". We drove back to town and saw a man with a Washington Redskins coat, nice!

We've booked flights for a few trips to the "continent". That's what we call the rest of Europe here. Looking forward to those, it seems most people travel at "half term", which is the long break halfway through school terms. 

There don't seem to be many basements here, but there are attics. The attic is known as the loft. They're full of about 12-24 inches of insulation. You can buy "loft stilts", which create a little table above the insulation for storage. You're not supposed to just put stuff on top of the insulation because it might hurt the stuff, or decrease the effectiveness of the insulation.

Overall, I'm noticing that I learned words and language for a long time, then I learned about places, now we're learning day to day activities. I'm trying to think what kind of learning I was doing before this whole experience, I think it was mostly data, information and process type learning. And every day, everywhere, it's all about learning yourself, others and group behaviour- trying to help others and contribute, enjoying the journey,  right?
