Thanks to my wonderful friend Canadian aupair I am finally beginning to read 'Eat, pray, love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. Most people out there who enjoy reading should have heard of it as it is now a worldwide best seller. It has been recommended to me with the promise that it will make me more 'zenful' - I hope so I could use some positive zen at the moment and yoga doesn't work for me. Tying my body in a knot to cause relaxation somehow doesn't appeal. I will maybe blog a review after I have finished it...I have been thinking about starting a review page for a while now a) to keep track of how many books I read (because it's frustrating forgetting) and b) so other people can see what is really worth reading. It's just finding the time and again, much more writing.
Today however, minus the blog, I am writing seulement en français. I couldn't have more work to do if I had got down on my knees and physically begged for les devoirs. Merci beaucoup Sebastian et Sylvie. I also have a test on the french verbs in the present, infitive and past tense. If you have never taken French I should inform you that this is a hell of a lot of verbs and I have to learn them all and those forms for a test tomorrow. Oh joy. It's a good job I enjoy learning French!
On another note the electrician is coming again to fix my shutter so I will finally be able to see outside! I have missed the natural light coming into my room and also not being able to use my entrance to sneak out at night and steal croissants while the bakers are sleeping.
France vs England football match tonight, should be interesting as we aren't playing well at the moment but to be fair France never really play well...but this new team is looking like a positive move. We shall see...I predict a 1-1 draw. Was thinking of going to watch it in a bar but host dad is putting it on the TV upstairs which means I can watch it on my hugeee TV downstairs so I think I will opt for that, only thing I will miss out on is a jug of beer and some english hooligans. I think I can cope with missing that...
