Lundi le premiere Decembre


Many jobs to do today – have to get paperwork done for school – I tend to use a Monday as my setting up for the week in lessons.
I also go to the CLA and have my conversation practice – I always look forward to this as it is so unthreatening and a chance to try phrases and new vocab out.
Amazingly – I got an email from AFS NZ!!!!
Went in to sort out Morocco and the lady was all set to put it through when Nev asked “Do N.Zers need a visa for Morocco?” Just as well as she went and looked it up and said “yes” better contact the Moroccan embassy in Dijon. The very thought of obtaining a visa now sends shivers up my spine! So home we went to do this and everywhere says we don’t need one – so will go back and book! Amazingly we won’t know flight details until about 2 weeks before as it is a charter plane, so have to wait till then to book connecting trains. It feels so far away February but really it isn’t that long – and Africa will offer its own challenges. Meanwhile a lot of organising to do for all these holidays!
By the way forgot to mention that last Thursday I went to the supermarket and called into the hairdressers to make an appointment – they took me straight away. It was very hard to describe what I wanted but amazingly after much gesturing and very simple French got my desires across. It is pleasing to know that “foils” exist here – they are called “mèche” I think. The only surprise I got was at the end – the price advertised is for the foils only – then you add, washing + conditioning+ cutting+ drying! EEkkk!!! Anyway will put a photo in so you can see!

Nice hair cut! I had mine done a few weeks ago - much overdue - and despite my description of what I wanted she did a good job of making it as matronly as possible! I'll cope.
