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
Le weekend super chill
Got a hair trim at Diloy's hair salon. They don't take any appointments but I went on a Friday at 2pm, the day after the big strike in France, so it wasn't busy. They were professional, friendly and fast. I was done in about 35 mins! TIP: For your first visit, it's 20€; 24€ after … Continue reading Le weekend super chill
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 🙂
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!

I chatted with the lovely S at the Ytaing Grocery and she gave me some advice. I took down a number … Continue reading Job, travail, work, emploi
Mon amie T comes to visit :D
First friend to come to visit! T is from Finland but now living in Germany. We met in Melbourne. 🙂 She arrived on Thursday afternoon. It was good to see her and to chill and show her around a bit as the morning was hectic. I had been to the gym, talked to the owner … Continue reading Mon amie T comes to visit 😀
Quel busy day!! ohh la la
What a busy day! I woke up rather early but took some time rustling up breakfast. Then, off I hopped onto my bike and got going to get around passing out resumes. TIP: Toulouse is really flat and many bike-friendly paths. You can go in either direction on almost all roads even if it's only … Continue reading Quel busy day!! ohh la la
Finally settling into Toulouse
After my parents departed, I felt I could finally organize my space the way I wanted it. I cleaned it up as well. It was nice to settle in and have my own place to myself. I needed it as I was really feeling sick and needed some downtime to get better. So, I holed … Continue reading Finally settling into Toulouse
Learning French from locals
Cheese:My dear pal C told me about this delicious cheese: Trou de cru. I told my friends P & E about it and E howled in laughter. Apparently the way I said it sounded like "trou de cul", which means... asshole. Lol 😂😂 Eventually, I ordered the cheese at the Marché couvert Saint-Cyprien with much … Continue reading Learning French from locals
