It keeps raining! All the trees and bushes outside are pretending that is is Spring but I´m not fooled. We have had wild winds too. Our recycling wheely bin blew over this morning before it was emptied so I had to scurry about the street collecting bits of paper and plastic bottles, fun! Nothing has happened to report on except that I got my hair cut and coloured yesterday. They know me at the local hairdresser now so I don´t need to talk much. It is not ideal though, I can´t explain exactly what I want with my limited french and their non existent english. Oh I look forward to the day when I can do these sort of everyday activities in my OWN language...... Imagine the luxury of speaking to the lady at the post office in English! It´s one of the drawbacks of living in a country where they speak another language. I am not super dedicated to learning french so I know I only have myself to blame but hey, I speak more French than most of the French people I meet can speak English. Okay, complaining over for the day.....
