After reading one of our Christmas presents, we decided to go on a walk today; up and over the top of Mount Boron and down into Villefranche. The views are pretty amazing but I think Dan was more concernced with counting dog poo's, I believe he managed to count 31! And although I was tempted to take a picture of one and post it below, luckily for you I restrained myself and took pictures of the view instead.
Well I wonder what the rest of the day has in store, I've attempted some of my French homework and have decided blogging is much more interesting and a lot easier. We can't really do much tonight as we're off skiing Valberg tomorrow. My mission for tomorrow is to get Dan on a red slope. Wish me good luck!
I suspect most couples have the same argument as we do, when we go to bed. Although maybe what I really mean is I hope most couples have this argument. Most nights when we tuck ourselves into bed we go through an almost ritualistic argument, over who has the most space. Last night though Dan took action, and before we had got into our FSPs (final sleeping positions) a piece of string had been stratgetically placed down the center of the bed!
This weekend we've torn ourselves way away from the slopes.
We've tried to go to the cinema, twice, and managed to miss the showing twice. We've made a new friend in the English book section in FNAC, yet failed to find a Harry Potter French audiobook, and ended up with the Jungle Book in english and french. So this weekend has been spent with friends. Friday, was out with my French class. And Saturday was out to Sarah & Hans' flat for a few drinks; and now I'm writing this I've realised I forgot to take round their Christmas presents, 2 delicious creme eggs. I did buy them twelve but I have been a little hungry since we got back from the UK and I accidently ate the others which I do feel ever so slightly (very, Very) guilty about. Leo the German Spitz was on top form and insisted on Dan bonding with him by jumping up and kissing his neck, although Dan would hate to admit it I think he rather enjoyed it.
I think we've decided on having another party in February but haven't managed to nail down a date. This time round it might be a better idea to use a book that we don't use very much for a light prop rather than the French Dictionary and Nigella Lawson cookbook, as it was rather embarressing asking folks whether they had seen a 26.4 x 20.2 x 6.6 cm dictionary go walking out the door!
It's been a while since I last blogged. I guess I haven't really been in the mood; probably because things seem to be going well in France. It's been nearly four weeks since Project Goddess started and I have lost four pounds! Still a long way to go, till I get anywhere near a size 0, but at least it's a start. I'm just looking forward to fitting into my own jeans again! Rather than Dan's and I think secretly Dan is too, as it means he can have his jeans back and he won't have to lie when I scream "Does my bum look big in this?".
We've been out to Auron with my little bro teaching Dan how to snowboard, and then out to Isola 2000 last Sunday which was great at the weather was fantastic and Dan and I managed to ski all day together, and he even managed a red slope so I'm pretty proud of him right now and I'm so glad he seems to have got the skiing/snowboarding bug.
My French lessons have been pretty hard ever since I got back from Christmas and today was no exception with the realisation bought home with a test. I spent all day revising yesterday only to have revised something that wasn't even in the test...grrr. I think I'll get the results tomorrow but I'm not looking forward to it.
Tomorrow I have to go job hunting as I've put it off as long as I can, and I have to start pulling my wait around here. To tell the truth, the thought of having to go and get a job in France is a bit daunting, just because of the language barrier so tonight I'll have to sit down with Dan and practise what I might want to say. Wish me good luck, and I'll promise I'll try and blog more...
It's day two of Project Goddess aka getting trim and slim for the summer and so far I'm on a roll, having made it out rollerblading last night and swimming today. In fact things can't be as bad as all that, as I did manage to get chatted up in the swimming pool to my surprise. Or was he just practising his English!
