Yesterday i got to watch the new episodes of Grey's Anatomy! I'm glad about it, as i really thought they would show them after 10:30, which is past my bedtimes nowadays...
But they decided to show the new episodes at 9, so i'll be able to watch them! It's so cool!
I tried the new video game last evening at Yannick's: It's great!
I could almost get convinced to buy the latest console to be able to play the game, as it is one of my favourite's.
Wow! It's been 5 months since I’ve posted here!!!
Well... What's happened? In chronological order:
- My Dad got married and my parents-in-law came over to attend the wedding.
- We got two new kittens, Zeppelin and Kashemere, they are adorable. Zeppizoo is very mischievious, hehe...
- I graded A-Level this year.
- I've started on a new baby quilt but it's not ready yet and I’m too busy to finish it as of now.
- I spent summer studying for aggregation which I’ll be taking next January.
- We went to Rock en Seine to see the concert of Rage Against The Machine and it was great!
- I got sent to work the whole year in Amplepuis, which is 2 and a half hours of train to go and the same back. I wonder how I’ll survive the year... really...
- I've started to attend courses for agregation, some of them are interesting, other not so much... I must say that Richard Ford's writing is not my favourite. However, we also have to study Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, and Shakespeare's King Lear, and those are good... so...
I'm not sure I thought of everything, but it's quite a sum up already... I'll try to keep this up as well as I can...

What a day yesterday!
Yesterday was meant to be an enjoyable day… We went to Lyon, H, Dad and I, to spend the morning and lunchtime there…
H. and I had a nice shopping time and walk (well… we did not buy much at all… but it was nice to walk in the warm weather)… We went to the mall, then walked to a music shop, stopped by the bank of the river to watch ducks swimming…
We were meeting Dad in front of the Lyon Opera at around 12… so we had time to get into the Opera to see what shows were scheduled…
I could not resist buying two tickets to go and see A Midsummernight’s Dream in April (click here). I love Shakespeare’s play, it is great, the movie by Michael Hoffman is really interesting too (click here)… so I had to give in to the appeal of the fairy-world…
I can’t wait to be there, even though we could not really buy the more expensive seats, and that we will probably not be able to see the whole stage…
After that, Dad arrived and we went into a typical Bouchon Lyonnais (little Lyon restaurant) and had a nice meal.
After our meal, we came back home and that’s when the day transformed into a shitty day!
After a couple of minutes at home, we realized that we had been broken into… toll of the robbery:
$ 2000 - gone
my engagement ring – gone
my 20th-birthday ring in white gold, sapphire and diamonds offered by dad and by late mum– gone
a necklace and golden earrings, keepsakes of my late grandmother – gone
a beautiful long jade pendant from New-Zealand – gone
an ancient fob watch that belonged to H and had been offered to him by my dad – gone
a whole and brand new bottle of expensive perfume that had been given to me by Suzanne - gone
… After a while, we saw a suspect car parking not too far from the house, in our neighbours’ driveway (, who were not waiting for anybody, by the way)…. They left as soon as they saw us… I’m almost sure that they were coming back for our equipment!!!
And I’m expecting them to come back again when they get the opportunity.
My dad had the quick and appropriate reaction to get into his car, catch up with them discreetly (they kept on behaving strangely, stopping by another house and checking it) and write down the number of their license plate, which we communicated to the police… I’m hoping those were indeed the thieves and that something will be done about it!
Another consequence… I did not sleep much… H did not either… and I could not work as I had planned… so now I have a lot of work to catch up with… It implies huge amounts of work to be done for the coming 3 weeks at least!!! I’m pissed!
Anyway… no more days like that ever again!
I decided to make the list of the things that I indeed achieved during this break… to reassure myself, I suppose….
- I rested from my super-tiring pre-break week.
- Went downtown to purchase Xmas gifts… in the very last minute, but I did!
- Finished one of my knitting projects… I haven’t got a picture of myself wearing it yet, but it is done…
- Knit together the biggest part of a wedding quilt… there are still some sides missing and the batting and backing to add, but it shouldn’t take too long… I HAVE to finish it soon though, so that H. can hand-quilt it before the end of May.
- Knitted half of a cool sweater for myself. I hope it will be finished soon so that I can wear it!
- Prepared a whole lesson on PowerPoint, it should last 3 or 4 hours (which is 2 weeks of work for those classes).
- Went jogging 3 times, I did not go today… unfortunately…
I still have tons of things to do! So, I’m off!
I've just realized that it has been much longer than what I though since I posted!
What have I been doing? I don’t even know… there was a busy week just before the Xmas break… then there was Xmas, then there was New Year’s Eve… And I’m here, today, sitting at my desk, supposed to be working to prepare my lessons for the coming week, and grading papers….
What kind of a break was that?
I’ve felt busy all along, and it feels like I did nothing at all… How strange!
Xmas was ok, spent the eve at Dad’s, and spent Xmas here, relaxing and doing nothing special. We ate a raclette though! I got a Bread Machine, which is really cool
and a very comfortable desk chair, on which I’m sitting right now. And the Nirvana Unplugged DVD.
New Years Eve was fine too, the food was good, and the house has been reasonably clean since then…
The end of the week was really strange… working a lot and getting nothing accomplished, or almost nothing… going to bed far too late and sleeping in far too long… not going jogging enough and feeling tired.
I hate that feeling to have wasted the precious 2-week time I had … hopefully, that feeling will vanish...
... at the moment... because we froze on the spot at the Christmas Market where we were selling H's cutting... It did not go too bad considering this was a little market lost in the countryside. I think we'll be doing this again... and we'll try to make it in a bigger town... At least we know that some people are ready to buy that kind of works... which is great...
So now, I’m off to the warmth and steam of a comforting and well-deserved shower...
... before I set myself to work... Wonder how I’ll do that though...
