Christmas Beginnings

So, I had been sick after the foie gras incident, so sick that I could barely stand at school. It took five days to recover. But that Saturday was so perfect that it made up for it.

Les Soldes: On Saving

My photo wall- the view from my bed

A girl who is working in Orléans (close to Tours) has started a blog- her discussion of the 'soldes' (sales) here in France is funny, especially as I have fallen prey to them a little in the last few weeks as well. Thanks, Zara, H&M (horrible companies).

You can find it here.

It also points to the drama of living on our pay check issue. Something that as I left Australia with all the money I had left from working the last three years during uni is not so much an issue for me.

At least, it wasn't at the start.
