2018 weekly - Week 50

12/12/2018

The usual pre-holiday rush for all (un)imaginable things.

We have a Christmas special today at the French class. We are all supposed to dress up in one way or another but I just couldn't bring myself to buy a Christmas jumper.

So I improvised to wear a red blouse and wrapped myself with some tinsels. Good enough to bring the holiday atmosphere.

This year BBC has lots of drama box sets. I watched three excellent ones, Killing Eve, The Informer and The Little Drummer Girl. They are all excellent with gripping and realistic stories. I have to say, the lead female actors in Killing Eve and The Little Drummer Girl are breathtakingly brilliant. And I am becoming a firm fan of John Le Carre's novels.

I took my DELF exam today. It went rather well, enough to pass, even though I realised I made a grammatical mistake right after I stepped out the test centre.

It's a funny experience to take an official exam again after so many years. It's also reassuring to know that the little grey cells are still working.

So let's aim for A2 next year!

Holidays start unofficially today!

2018 weekly - Week 48

I am feeling back more of my normal self now. I tried just one fitness class today instead of my normal two. At the end of the class, I can see my body is telling me that she is ok.

Good to be back to my healthy self.

I couldn't wait any longer so I warm my stollen slightly and brush (again) with butter and dust with icing sugar.

Oh, my, lord.

Now I know why people can't stop just having one slice! It's criminally moreish!

Last prepa class today. Then it'll be the exam!
