Work, sleep, deal with allergies, watch TV (so far into the last season of "Colony", where many scenes were shot in Vancouver!) and a bit of exercise. Not that much more to do as I don't have tools or access to anything to do crafts so.... lotsa fooding! 😀 Walnuts: This is embarrassing but I … Continue reading Plus plus de fooding

Food for thought en France
I remember going to the boulangerie and person in front of me asked for "une traditionelle". That was really cool to catch on a local ordering something so classic French. I was inspired and asked as well for "une traditionelle". I had no idea what type of baguette after all LOL but I guess it's … Continue reading Food for thought en France
1 month en Australie
Well, let me tell ya, it's been a blur of a whirlwind. I went by 7 hour train to Paris and caught up with a friend. 🙂 It was fabulous and she's moving to Australia on her work and holiday visa too! It will be great to see A in a few weeks 😀 No … Continue reading 1 month en Australie
Bureaucracy en France… ohhhhh la la
Well wellllll well well well…. I finally made it to the Work Inspection office (L’inspection du travail). To catch you up on this, the consulate advised me to go there to get the final/official advice on whether I can work remotely. The last 2 times I went, I was told: Go away and make an … Continue reading Bureaucracy en France… ohhhhh la la
L’administration Francaise…wouah wouah putain
I am going back to Australia for a month in Feb 2020 for a friend's wedding. Luckily my gym allows a suspension on the membership at no cost! That is great 🙂 I've decided to apply for the extension to my working holiday visa 😀 I am excited at the prospect of another year in … Continue reading L’administration Francaise…wouah wouah putain
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…
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
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
