Two for One

01-10-09: (Thursday)

I worked from 7:30 this morning until 8:15 tonight.

It was a pretty good day. The boys didn't want to ride the stroller to school, so they walked the whole way :) .

I got my exercise on the way back though. When I got back to the house, I started to make bread, and crocheted while drinking coffee and listening to music. Then, I quickly showered and left to get the boys from school.

I called Nanny Judy when the boys went down for their nap. The house across the street magically grew walls today...

The boys were really good for me today. They started getting a bit rambunctious around dinner time, but that's because they were hungry.

Gillian and Fred went to this children's clothing sale after work, so they didn't get home till after 8pm. I'm so tired now.

For supper I made a roast chicken, sauteed veggies and guacamole (random,I know, but the avocados were ripe!), and my homemade bread. It was pretty good.

Friday, October second, two thousand and nine:

This morning I woke up at 9, and went for a power walk around the village of Boisseron, then took a shower. I had to pick the boys up from school because Gillian wasn't finished of her worship practice.

After lunch, I asked Gillian if she could take me into Lunel early. So now I am sitting in a cute cafe beside Lunel-School (because Cafe D'Amelie was a madhouse). Everyone gets to be on their lunch breaks at 1 or 2pm here. I went to the pastry place and got an apple danish first. It is good and sugary.

There is no internet access here, sorry, Mom. :(

This coffee is really good though.

"un grand cafe du lait"

This place reminds me of Lady Baker's Tea Trolley at the market.

The milk is frothy and frothy and the coffee is strong (and it's bigger than a shot glass)!

Sandrine called me and said she'd be at school by 2. I have to buy more yarn for my blanket too..

It's now 1:55. I came to Lunel early to sit. Here I am sitting, and I have to go to class soon:(. Hopefully, that means I'll get to leave class early:)

I just remembered about the time that M.C taught me how to order a glass of water in French. i was reminded of this, because I just ordered a glass of water..in French...I'm almost certain that the woman who runs this shop speaks English well, but oh well, more practice for me!

Humm. I don't want to leave here. It is so quiet and cute. I brought my laptop thinking that 'd have WiFi somewhere, so now I have extra heavy baggage. I have my school books with me too.

Gillian made a really yummy chocolate cake tonight while I was talking to mom and dad on the phone.
