Monday morning

It’s Monday and I should be shopping in Carrefour. Instead I’m sitting here. Reason: the car didn’t start.

Last Thursday we were in the garage to fix Anthonys’ car. On the way back we had two cars. At one point Anthony stopped and I drove up beside him to give him his money before going out on the highway. I rolled down the window on the passenger seat, threw out the money to him, and then, when I wanted to get the window back up, it broke :-/ Just like it did half a year ago. It was a bit cold in my car on the way home…

But, we also ordered the new sofa that day, so in the end it was a very good day

On Saturday we fixed my window, so much easier this time since Anthony has lots of tools for fixing things.

This morning I realized that the key to the car was still in the car since we fixed the window, and that the lamps had been left on. That’s why I’m sitting here now.

Our Saturday was a true fixing day. We finished installing spots in the kitchen which now makes a big difference! We bought curtain rods for the bed and living room and put them up. And we cooked a fantastic meal, as usual when Anthony is cooking.

The Sunday was a climbing day. We met up with Sylvain and Emelie in the Carrefour parking as last Sunday and went one hour to the west, to the Var. I had to be very careful with my foot, I can walk but it still hurts if I hit it just a little bit on the side. I didn’t think I should be able to climb but it turned out to be ok as long as I put down the foot with care each time. Me and Anthony went up on a three section route, which means that Anthony first climbed the first section, waited for me to come after, then he continued up, leaving me on the middle of the wall to secure him from there. The whole route was about 70 meters high. A great view but a little bit scary.

Yesterday evening I was very tired from being out in the fresh air the whole day so we just stayed home and watched a film. It was a French film and I don’t remember the name, but I saw it in French with French subtitles! I had to ask Anthony a few times when I missed something I thought was important for the story, but in the end I actually managed to understand the film! Of course I missed lots of things they said, but it was possible! I’m so proud!!

Today Thomas, the bas player in our jazz band, wrote an email and said he will quit and join another band. I’m so sad for this L I really hope we will be able to find another one. It is the only thing I’m doing on my own down here at the moment, everything else is with Anthony. Which I like of course, but I think it’s important to meet other people as well…

I found an advert for French lessons in the vegetable store, maybe I should call and see how much it is per hour. Could be good if it is in the neighborhood so I don’t have to drive all the way to Nice to see Celine. I didn’t have any French lesson since I came back, but I have begun to ask Anthony about words and sentences and I’m trying to make him speak French to me, and that I can answer in English, as a start.

Now I should try to get something done before Anthony come home, he promised to come and eat lunch with me and use the cables to make my car working.
