Busy week
Well that one certainly went quickly! My lessons went perfectly the whole week. Now I'm itching to get back to college. Still haven't heard anything yet. I just had the idea to go onto the site in Poitiers, perhaps they put up lists or something? It's been hot again, though this morning my toes are cold as I'm sitting here.
Olivier and I had to deal with two enormous black spiders at the beginning of the week. As the weather has been so hot I didn't expect them to start coming in yet. They really are big! I'm afraid to say I get the vacuum cleaner out and suck them up. I point the nozzle and Olivier turns on the power. Not a job for the faint hearted

This morning
I started my lessons at a language school. I've got around 15 hours this week. The group I'm teaching are okay. This week is going to fly by. It's also a nice place to work, quite laid back, but we certainly work hard. Olivier and I went for a swim this afternoon, although it is hot, it was windy and the sea was choppy. We came home pretty quickly. I'm glad I don't need to load the car up and drive miles to get there, it's just ten minutes on foot.

The Weekend
was hot,hot,hot. We spent Saturday at La Tranche Sur Mer again. Got burnt this time, Olivier asked me to walk along the beach with him for a while and look for good waves, I forgot to cover up!! We discovered a new restaurant, fortunately we ate reasonably early as everyone else has discovered it too.
Sunday, Rob and I went for a long walk, I've got a very red nose.

The Partner
by John Grisham, it's what I'm reading at the moment. It's not at all my type of book but I can't put it down. One of Rob's collegues was throwing out some books in English, so she passed them to us. Her English must be excellent to have read this. He's rated as the worlds most popular author, I always thought that was JK Rawling!

"Last night I dreamed the strangest dream"
I dreamt that Rob and I were walking round the corner and out from under the wall were poking about four pairs of legs. The man who lived at the house had decided to keep sheep and he had knocked holes in the bottom of the wall so that people could wriggle through the tops of their bodies to watch the sheep.
I couldn't do it. When Rob was studying for his bankers exams I remember helping him to revise law and there was the case of a woman who was raped when she got herself trapped in a sash window. The top half should always know what the bottom half is doing....

Fiddling and pruning.
Well, I had a jolly good fiddle with my archives I can tell you. Unfortunately the posts and all that don't update very quickly, so I won't know till tomorrow if I've done any good. Somewhere I read that switching them off completely and then switching them on again might work. I might give that a go. If I'd have started my blog up a month later I'd have been on New Bogger with automatic archives. I also pruned the roses and the deutzia. My back aches.

The Return of Invaders
It was made in 1995 with Scott Bakula. I watched the first part and went to bed. Olivier came along later and said he didn't want to go to bed. This morning Rob told me he watched till quite late but it got pretty horrible. I prefer the Quantum Leap. Poor Scott Bakula, he'll be forever stuck, just like Sam Beckett! Ho hum, next week we're back to good old Charmed.
