As someone who's first language is English, don't worry, it's the same for everyone, poor word choices, awkward interjections, stupidly long sentences and all of that that makes reading one's old writings stressful to say the least. (I'm sure 5-10 years from now I'll look back on my habit of always saying 'to say the least' as embarrassing)

A sad day but it wouldn't surprise me if in a few weeks a certain French 'cousin' Jean le Carré shows up

Requiescat in pace John!
R.I.P. John le Carré.
Mom had a sourdough starter that was over 30 years old. The kind of thing you take on vacation with you.

The best French/fried toast you ever had. Cutting slabs like ribeyes.
I want homemade bread now.
