My new lesson
Went very well indeed yesterday evening. I've got two pupils and they get on well with each other and me. The time went so quickly, they could hardly belive it, which is a good sign. We've got plenty to do as they are very weak. The challenge for me is to make it different and interesting (and relevant)

As part of
Black history month on the BBC. I've just been listening to a program about the Bristol bus boycott. It's incredible the ideas and beliefs that people had. I hate to say it but I think that people in France are more tolerant of race, though there are some exceptions.

Blogwise
I'd like to point out the blogwise button over there on the left. At Blogwise you can search for blogs to your hearts content by alphabet, language, country, keywords etc. I think it's great, especially as I've had a few visitors from there since I joined

Norton update
Rob worked on the computer till three this morning and Norton is working as it should. It even updated automatically, something we've never had. No sign of AOL's special broad band pack yet. I had a visit from an opinion pole gatherer yesterday. I must muck up the statistics a bit,I don't read any French magazines, I don't read any newspapers on her list, I don't listen to the French radio and I barely watch TV. I read Newsweek but it wasn't on her list this time. I spend around four hours on the computer though. I do answer opinion polls.
I love the spell checker, especially when it says 'No errors found'.

My gel infested son
almost cuts me to ribbons if I try to give him a hug, He's changed to 'fixation extrême' with vitamins(!). It smells like apple chewing gum, I suppose if he gets fed up with it he can spread it on toast. I shouldn't complain, he's due for a growth spurt pretty soon. Perhaps I'll start using gel as well..............;

Finished
My book, the end is sad but I won't say anymore because Stacey said she'd like to read it. I can tell you this, reading the last page won't give you the ending, ha!
Daisy has this about President Kennedy, which fits nicely in with what I was reading.
Next I'm going to reread 'We the Living' by Ayn Rand. This book took my breath away in parts

October
Has started with an invitation to have a look at someone's web cam pictures. She ' keeps it on all the time'. What fun. Other than that, all's quiet in the Western front. Oh yes, going back to the Norton antivirus, It won't activate automatically. Rob went onto the site and there's a whole page devoted to it, so we're not the only ones having problems. Fortunately it's simple to activate, not so simple to remember to check.....
