Gah!
It just took me about ten minutes to log in. Sigh.
On a good note I MADE A HAT! (Thanks to Helen's guidance, she is my knitting master.)More pictures in my Facebook account.

On a bad note I'm getting a migraine.
Oh well, a tout a l'heure!

Fatigue.
Je suis très froid et fatigue.
Saturday night was brilliant - it was the night of legends minus the French perverts who were chasing Helen and Jenny around. I met with Helen for wool shopping - well we met eventually. Think I'm going to have to put my phone to charge every night cos it dies SO quickly it's ridiculous. She bought me some new knitting needles, 10mm! <3
We then went to a pizza place and had free drinks for being their first customers, yay free drinks! Jenny joined us at the steps of the Sacred Coeur where we watched some brilliant buskers and they played Helen's most favouritest Oasis song. After they'd finished we took a walk around Montmartre, the view of Paris is amazing there.
Coffee and beer in the cafe Amelie was filmed in was next on the list. We took a trip to a random place with the internet where we found a true legend doing karaoke to James Blunt and Shaggy with a very strong French accent of course. What a guy. Then we found a random 'rock' club to go to. It was fun, we found two more legends - two older men (about 50/60) dancing with random people - they were better dancers than most of the people there. Helen danced with one of them, so it wasn't too bad until the random French guys were we're talking to got over friendly with Jenny and Helen - I was sat on the stage arguing with one of them about football and rugby - 'zee football is a true sport', he said my French was good. Managed to speak to quite a few people that night apparently my English accent is noticeable cos they all asked me which part of England I'm from then laughed when I fumed about it. We all got told we were beautiful several times all night, the charm wears off after the first few times but it's much better than being told you're ugly a lot of times!
It was almost 5am when we left and pancakes seemed like the best option. Waited until the Metro opened then went home. Got in for about half seven. Just after I went to bed the family started getting up! So that was my Saturday night, how about yours?
Today I had a French lesson in the morning then Sara, Claire and me went back to Liz's for coffee - Claire has managed to persuade me to do exercise on Thursday. Well it didn't take a lot of persuading - I'm going on a bike with Liz whilst her and Sara run. Looking forward to it, there's a promise of soup and French bread afterwards. Who could say no?
La vie est très belle!
P.S. Helen: 'goodbyeee my loooover, gooodbye my friiiiiiend', 'wasn't me!'

Dear you.
Dear prepubescent boy on the bus,
Apparently your parents never taught you any manners, you could clearly see the bus was full and that Capucine is slightly younger and shorter than you yet you refused to give her your seat, I'm not saying you had to but it's polite and makes common sense not to have a four year old standing up on a busy bus. Even when she fell over you didn't batter an eyelid. If I were your mum I would have given you a good slap for that.
Yours,
Sylvie.
P.S. a hat is intended for your head, not that air above it. You look like an idiot.
Dear boy with chewing gum,
It's great that you have chewing, really I'm happy for you but you don't have to share this fact with everyone. Not everyone wants to hear you chewing as loudly as you can. Closing your mouth when you chew isn't that difficult - you can even do it when you're eating too! It's a useful skill to have. Please take this into consideration.
Yours,
Sylvie
Dear bus driver,
You absolute moron. Congratulations you've made my 'people I hate' list. So far there are two people on that list - it takes a lot for me to get this angry and you managed it without saying anything. I'll let you in on a little secret, living in a city does not mean you have to be an asshole. It's not necessary - some people chose to do it and others don't. You do have a choice, think about it.
You made me miss being in England - people seem to have manners there. Most bus drivers do - they wait for people who may have difficulty sitting down to be sat before moving off. You should go to England and take notes. It was blatantly obvious that Capucine would have problems walking down the bus - you saw that she needed help to get on it so why on earth did you speed off like that? She could have been seriously hurt, luckily when she fell (twice) she didn't hit her head though she did hit her back on the seat in front on her when you slammed the brakes on.
Just thinking about this makes me want to punch you in the face, or get someone a lot stronger to punch you in the face.
With anger,
Sylvie.

Yoga and other four letter words.
Had my first yoga session last night and feeling a wee bit sore now. It was great fun, looking forward to going back again. Nearly fell asleep at the end - we were lying down and concentrating on our breathing and relaxing every muscle possible. Felt very sleepytired. I have really weak arms so every time we did something involving arms I could feel them screaming at me to stop - now they hurt a lot. On the way back from yoga I got the best pancake EVER. It was full of chopped hazelnuts and a bit of sugar. Mmm. Going to get one every week I think, as a treat for torturing my muscles.
Capucine has just had the week off school so on Monday we went to the park to play - she was popular of course. She brought some bubble stuff with her so all the other children were playing with us. I sat in the play area to keep an eye on her. A young girl came and sat with me, she said something really quickly in French that my brain couldn't understand so I told her I didn't understand, she asked what language I spoke I told her English and she started talking to me in fluent English! She must have been about five - brilliant English without a French accent! There was a random woman near by who was as shocked as I was. Capucine loved the park so much she refused to come home!
I'm not doing anything today - just going to play on Sims and then pick up the little lady from school at four. Normally I'd have a French lesson in the morning but it's half term at the moment. Pretty sure there wasn't a class today - guess I'll find out on Monday.
Have to wash my amazing jeans now - the ones with pictures from friends all over them cos Capucine sneezed chocolate all over them. She doesn't have magical powers of nose chocolate but her mouth was full of chocolate mousse and then she sneezed. It was so funny. :D
Think that's it for now. Can't think of anything else to add.
xoxo
P.S. Got your letter Alipie! :D <33

About time..
I keep putting off this update which is ridiculous as it won't take too long to do. I'm just lazy. So many things have happened since the last update!
Just got back from nine days in the sunny UK - it was actually sunny. During those nine days I saw Ruthie, Peter, Charlee, Hayley, Jamie and my grandparents, I failed my driving test, boo, went up to Derby to spend some time with Ruthie, bought some books to make myself feel better about something.. Um.. Spent some time with my amazing family, was shocked at dad's beardage, had my first ever Martini.. Think that's it. Felt weird being back but then I adjusted and now I'm homesick again. Missing mum a lot already. Only been here about five hours!
French classes are fabulous and I'm making a lot of wonderful friends. The teacher is great and I'm really enjoying lessons. Learning lots of useful things like verbs. Heh. Just need to remember them now. Also need to do the homework set over the holidays. Completely forgot about that. Oops.
Can't think of what else to say.. :/
Guess I'll leave it at this for now and try to update again tomorrow night. Ooh, tomorrow night I'm going to cook an English meal for the family and see what they think. Wish me luck!
Ok, I've enabled all comments so you have no excuses now! Leave me comments! xo
