I bought
A book on the interpretation of dreams this summer. It's very good. The problem for me is remembering what I dreamt. I did see a site mentioned somewhere about constructive dreaming, or something like that I'll have to pop and see it I can find it. Lucid Dreaming

The Street Lawyer
The second book by John Grisham that I was given. It's opposite to the first one I read. This is about the homeless in Washington and is thought provoking. I had never seen anyone begging on the street until I came to live in France. In the winter it's cold, can you imagine how much colder you would be sleeping on the freezing ground? Now we see more and more women begging, some of them are very young.

The Weekend
As Rob isn't working this weekend I've been here since six-thirty looking at my post, writing e-mails etc. I love this time of the morning when it's just getting light and the house is quiet. Yesterday evening Olivier and I started to watch 'la tempête du siècle' (Storm of the century?) a TV film by Stephen King. We really were clinging to each other but we were tired so we went to bed. I've got to check today to see if Dom has got the book.

T.G.I.F.
I've been trying to sort out my archives again. No luck up to now. To help matters along Blogger was doing silly things. Have you noticed the Quickos button? I put it there all by myself! I managed to work out what to do with Front Page. The hardest bit was finding which one had HTLM in it, or is it HTML? I'm getting there very slowly indeed.

Education update
Olivier's first morning went well. He's got some interesting teachers and he finishes at midday on Fridays- again! We spent the beginning of yesterday afternoon covering books, a job that I hate. We can't use adhesive covers because the books have to be uncovered at the end of the school year. Anyway, they both set off early this morning in good spirits. The house is so quiet..........................
I phoned the rectorat this morning, they coudn't help me on June's missing salary because the computer was down. They told me there had been no 'nominations' yet. I'm translating from the French and I'm not sure if they mean me personaly or all of us. I think YET is a good optimistic word. It's certainly better than NO

I might be unemployed but it doesn't mean I've got nothing to do
I have been floor cleaning this morning, I mean moving the furniture and floor cleaning as opposed to swooshing around with a mop. There was one of those big black spiders in my way so I ripped off my rubber gloves in order to vacuum the creature up. I was so enthsiastic that I pulled off two fingers. (gloves not me) I had to finish without gloves but I have remembered to rub it lots of hand cream. Does anyone know where the dust fairy lives? I'd like to block up her hole.

A man
has been executed because he killed a Doctor who was carrying out abortions. Whose crime was the worse? I can't answer that. I would not have an abortion myself but I believe all women should have a choice. I'm lucky, I've got three children who are very much loved and wanted. I teach children who have been born to parents not quite ready for the responsiblity. It's so sad to see a child who knows they are not really wanted or cared for. (Not all of them are unloved by any means)

School
Dom's first morning at Lycée. I was the one who had an upset stomach. She came home at lunch time really pleased with how it went. She was mainly worried about not knowing anyone: She is in a class where she does not know anyone. It's okay though because she talked to one or two. Her timetable is a bit long on some days because of the options she's chosen, sometimes she'll be there from 8 till 6! Dom is a worker, so I'm sure she'll cope. Olivier's turn tomorrow, not so bad as it will be his second year of college. My biggest problem is when to get him into the bath this evening, 'X-Men' is on TV.
