Months between posts...what can i say? I have no excuse. But world events got far too much for me. I couldn't blog about my newfound love for old-lady net curtains (the ones that old ladies down here in the south of France use, with kittens and flowers or horses in fields woven in lace) when the world was going to hell.
Now ghaddaffi is dead I am feeling both more and less reassured. Watching it was like watching hunting hounds rip a fox to pieces. Wish I hadn't.
I've also stopped watching the news for a wee while, and all the yahoo homepage puts up is how awful Johnny Depp's French accent is, so no danger of panic attacks there.
I'm experimenting with the idea of using my new second hand smartphone (oh yes, Ive joined the Zombie Ranks I Am One of Them) to send photos now and then...as I walk around town on the way to my many random tasks and duties. Will blogger let me do this? I'll have a look. Not sure I'm ready for words yet...
PS Oh yes...I have now for three months been alcohol and tobacco free. ITS SO WIERD TO BE COMPLETELY DRUG FREE....total freaking crazy!!!!!! I tried to kick caffeine too but couldn't hack it.
sorry about bold font happening up there...cant get rid of it. someone's telling me something.
Hey, you're back! Good to hear from you. Well done on the booze and ciggies!! Funnily enough, I decided to take a 3 month break from alcohol a month ago (what is it about France that turns expat women into wine guzzlers?). I found a great aussie site called Hello Sunday Morning for people taking organized breaks from alcohol and it is getting me through it. But enough about me...I'm glad to see you back :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see you back! It's even nice that you came on to say that you had nothing to say :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats about being alcohol and tobacco free! Great job! Proud of you!
My comment kept getting sucked into the ether - so here goes one more time - congrats on the ciggies and alcohol. I wouldn't worry about coffee - it is actually quite good for you in moderation(under 5 cups a day) - staves off alzeimers, good for cognitive functioning, reduces some cancers, all natural - haha, can be high in antioxidants,
ReplyDeletePenny- thanks...Three month break hey? good on you...I havent managed that yet....Christmas is coming up after all....
ReplyDeletegabrielle damn that ether! yeah i heard that about caffeine...the alzheimers thing. i should be fine- apparrently people who speak two languages regularly also deal with alzhiemers better too. so...lots of coffee with my french..i should be fine...
Glad to see you back - is that true about the two languages thing and Alzheimers? It could explain why my French is so rubbish and I keep putting the kettle in the fridge.

Well done on the ciggies and alcohol. I kicked tobacco a long time ago, but wine is hard to totally give up. Maybe I shouldn't be living in the biggest wine growing region in the world.
I like your website, Excellent efforts. i find unique content here.
