I brought some sparkling, chips and nuts & fruit mix to E's house. I met her at a last party before and she was very friendly. It was very kind of her 🙂 She has a lovely home and does great woodworking. It was a small group of 7 and everyone was dressed up 🙂 … Continue reading Bonne année/NYE!

Noël @ Martigues
I flew Ryanair and got a super cheap ticket for 5€! On the way back, I paid for baggage and picked to come back the same time as my friends so it was a bit more but overall, still very reasonable for 40€ all up. The flight was more or less on time and was … Continue reading Noël @ Martigues
Weekend @ Sarlat-la-Canéda
My friends and I rented a car from Drivvy and my friend J drove V&J and I to Sarlat-la-Canéda. It's a lovely little town about 2.5 hours away. The drive there was lovely and I fell asleep and woke up to some major crazy navigation as we were driving down a random backstreet laneway LOL … Continue reading Weekend @ Sarlat-la-Canéda
Quel semaine! Super busy week…
Last week, I did an extra shift with the family for babysitting. There is a strike going on in France and things are getting cancelled left, right and centre. SNCF trains may be cancelled, teachers striking randomly and after school care too. We made a chocolate bread house that's like a gingerbread house 🙂 It … Continue reading Quel semaine! Super busy week…
Slow days @ Toulouse :)
I tried Boli Café for Korean food with a friend. It was tasty and big portions with lots of meat. So good value, even at 12€. Then we went for a walk around the Christmas market. It was lovely! So many good smells 😀 I learned some more French slang too: J'ai la dalleJe galèreN'importe … Continue reading Slow days @ Toulouse 🙂
La poste, le shopping , l’administration français, ohh la la :/
I went shopping for Xmas presents at Decathlon. Seriously, this is one of my favourite French stores. Great for sporty and travel goods. And great deals for decent quality too! After a good haul, I went to the post office and mailed off the items. I had originally tried to mail wine but after some … Continue reading La poste, le shopping , l’administration français, ohh la la 
Bon week: Lebanese food, gym, marché, burrata :)
Mmm Restaurant Chez Nous les Libanais was quite good! Great value as it was only 10€ for fries, rice, salad and choice of meat. I tried the classic Chicken shawarma. Yum! My bike's right brake didn't work so I went to Decathlon and they were so nice to just have a quick look and popped … Continue reading Bon week: Lebanese food, gym, marché, burrata 🙂

We tried many dishes like: Yassa: Marinated poultry and its compote of lemon onionsMafé: sauteéd beef in peanut sauceThieb: red … Continue reading Le bon weekend de manger :d
Delicious start to the week, miam miam :d
Work has been coming along. I feel I'm getting a bit of traction to learn a bit faster and understand the flow a bit more. My French still needs work. I feel like I am catching on slowly but it's still fun to chat with everyone and to learn as I go. I also went … Continue reading Delicious start to the week, miam miam :d
Bon weekend vraiment!
I purchased a little heater from FNAC, a shop throughout France that sells books, tvs, multimedia, home appliances... a mixed bag of just stuff. I had to order it on Monday but finally got it on Thursday and just in time... it was 2C at 6am on Friday! I did ask Airbnb to ask my … Continue reading Bon weekend vraiment!
