Spark your creativity with the Sims. Sometimes you might feel like you're not creative

and you have to go in search of your creative spark again. Maybe this is catching up with

creative friends, experimenting with a new look or trying out a new recipe.

And thanks to The Sims, inspiration is just one game and one spark away.

Now you don't see this English word a lot, but it's an adjective that means of or pertaining to summer.

And it's a good word to describe the podcast that you're going to be

downloading over the coming weeks. Here and away with words we're going to have what

you might call an Esteville Festival. As we do each year we're taking our own summer break from recording our regular hour-long

episodes.

But as always, we'll be back with a brand new season of full episodes in early September.

In the meantime, we'll be bringing you the special podcast only edition of our show.

In each weekly mini-cast, we'll present another intriguing conversation about language that

we didn't have time to share during our regular recording season.

We'll read a few letters from you and occasionally Grant and I might just kick back and share with you

whatever's on our minds.

So Martha in the meantime what else will you be doing this summer?
