CHRISTMAS TIME!!! Get excited! My room is looking so cozy and warm. Will actually be spending Christmas with Geraldine, Tonton Claude et Mamie in London! Am also looking forward to a New Years visit in Paris from Jase and Sian!!! (That's a pretty awsome Christmas gift if you ask me!)Didn't end up snowing but it has rained a lot (got caught in a heavy fall last night on my way home from church, not cool) and it's been absolutely freezing. Was funny when I checked the weather forecast for today...10 degrees..."How warm!", I thought, "I might not even have to wear a beanie today!"
Advent wreath, Santa's hat, Magnus underwear (yes, magnus underwear) and random socks (can you spot Mathew's?)...
Tinsel and curtains (am very proud of my curtains!)
There's a little spinning christmas tree with candles on the shelf...
OK. Quick summary of another wonderful weekend. Had Friday afternoon off so went to a silk market in Lyon with Alice. So much silk and scarves and beautiful things we can't afford to purchase! Saturday, I had a study date. A couple of frenchies in my class have befriended me and are helping me out with the studies (the help is much needed!). So it wasn't so much a date as just studying all day with Victor and having quenelles for lunch (my request). The work is so hard, we worked so much but I felt like we got through hardly anything! Cooked some wicked pasta carbonara when I got home and then had hot chocolate with Anton and Alice (more like melted chocolate and milk...delicious!). Sunday, Alice and I went to St Etienne to the biennale design festival. It was great, so many things to see. My favourite was in the eco city lab exhibition. It's called an aquapony...basically it uses fish poo as feritliser to grow a vegie patch. There was also the Urban Loo and the Eco Toilet, some really great ideas. http://biennalesaint-etienne.citedudesign.com/fr/#/programme We also found a Christmas market, too much fun!
Alright, getting late. Must be off
Bonne nuit
