Paul takes a break to burp his big boy!
Max poses with Julie and Dan
I desperately need to improve my French. We had a right laugh in one of the department stores when we were given a voucher which we interpreted to state "Have a free massage on Level 3". We felt like a massage after a day at the shops and wondered around Level 3 looking for the massage area. Level 3 is KITCHENWARE. We searched around the hoovers, fridges and dustbins, but couldn't find anyone giving out free massages, but also didn't want to randomly ask an assistant for a massage. We spent nearly half an hour looking for our massages, but when we checked the dictionary we realised the vouchers actually just said that you could WIN a massage on Level 3. Gagner - to win. We'll not forget that verb!
We met up with Julie and Dan, pals from Edinburgh, for petit-dejeuner. They were over for a romantic break, which was of course interrupted by us. It was great to see them and it felt weird not to be heading back to Edinburgh as they were leaving. The realisation that we're here for the year really hit us then - and it was a great feeling! We've been lucky enough to have had quite a sociable time of it so far with friends from home - keep coming, people, I can't understand what anyone is saying here! I hope that'll change with the French classes - if I get in - they commence next Wednesday night with a test. There's no way I'll be able to gagner any prizes in that test!
