@JokuMuu I did the same based on @GrumpyMac suggestion. I made a couple of practice items where I could record the stats in my daily practice routine and try to beat my “high score” for both naming the notes and finding the notes over a time of 3 minutes. Making a game of it makes it a bit more fun, at least for me.
For Finding The Notes (2nd game in the app) I try to name the notes in string order 6th to 1st as I saw a practice exercise that does something similar.
There’s been a significant improvement in my scores over the past month that I’ve been doing it. My aim is to get to the point where I can do the exercise without hesitation but that may be a while! Thanks for the suggestion Deborah

24 C outside here, 28 C inside and we are waiting for the next thunderstorm…
Wow … The “humidité” on your chart. I feel for you. Hopefully it will be getting a bit colder soon

Ooof that’s way too hot for my liking also! I think even just playing for a few minutes each day is something that keeps the good habit going

yesterday it was 30 ° inside my room … a real oven
impossible to play more than a few minutes
I cant wait for autumn to start
Hmm … alternatively pack your
acoustic, sunscreen, some mosquito repellent and find some nice cool(er) place at a waterside and play there.
I plan to do that sometimes when I will finally have vacation soon 
the nearest lake is 7kms away
by bike under the burning sun … Its not a good idea 
I dont drive …
Good point. It’s so easy to forget how lucky I am with river, lakes and sea nearby …

I was about to send you a message to ask if you are ok. Hmm …so warm for such a long time. It’s much colder here and we are apparently waiting for the next thunderstorm 
Look what a beautiful weather I’ll have for my first week of summer vacation Sää Porvoo - Ilmatieteen laitos

I perfectly understand
I played a bit in the morning before work but otherwise I’ll be lenient with me this eve. I have been at work from around 7:30 to some minutes after 19:00, so I’m really tired. Probably I’ll watch some module 9 videos for the umpteenth time. Time to move on from module 8

Hi Deborah,
We are down to a comfortable 20c mid evening here in Normandie, though the last few days were crazy hot, 28c at midnight !!! If I recall you’re much further south than me ? Hope it breaks soon. One thing I’ve noticed over the last 30 years (started holidaying in 94 before we moved) the heat was a lot dryer, 35c in Manche was more comfortable than 25c in a damp UK. Now its got way more humid !
Keep cool and take care !
Hey toby !
you re lucky to be in Normandy !
I live in Rhone … 20 kms away from Roanne
so yes its south for you 
Thats the main issue
Its crazy damp … the humidity is like a wall hiting you and weighting a ton
Its impossible to do anything because of the humidity in the air , even in the evening , its never cooling down
I m just watching some old tv series ( for the moment Im watching Inspector Montalbano) but i hate watching TV
I only do it when can t do anything else … ( or when Blankety blank is on the BBC )
so for the moment , when I can play / practice a bit … i just have fun on yousician
working on melodies or playing songs I know
just to keep the fingers in shape
easy things only
Im having a break on lessons for the moment , until the weather gets better
the positive side of things is that 28° is a fine weather after 4 days of 34° C
so I felt like I could play

I will count this one as a day of practice since the weather was cool enough today
Day 166 :
Trained on finger stretches and crawling as a warm up and a little stretching exercise and the pinky exercise
Played on Yousician for 40 minutes
31 weeks streak
I play standing up with the backing track :
Challenge of last week : a song called My loving brother level 1 and 4
Level 1 is a very basic melody and level 4 is cow boy chords C F GPlayed La paloma basic melody level 5
I finally got gold on the last partPlayed a basic melody called Party with yousician , it’s a funky melody I like it
I finally got gold on all parts( 9 parts )
Now I will keep on practicing on this one to make it sound nice as a whole song
I play standing up and each songs are played once with the metronome , once with the backing track :
none
grade 2 in JG :
module 10
Practiced the F chord on the chord trainer and without the chord trainer ( F C G Am )
I do pop quizz between songs : hop ! do an F !
Songs
Musopia app : Practiced Have ever seen the rain by CCR
Played also Jambala on the bayou
The musopia app has no sound control
when I play with my headphone i just dont hear myself play , the backing track is too loud 
We should be able to control the volume

Hmm… Maybe give feedback about that to Musopia?
Good to hear that the weather allowed you to play.
