We spotted the sun late on Saturday afternoon - the only sun Besancon has seen lately!Girls off to school and I headed into town to go to the prefecture and receive finally my “Carte de Sejour” – Nev had picked his up before we left and they refused to give him mine even though he had my passport etc to show proof.
What a relief to finally have these – it has only taken 4 months!
To the CLA for conversation practice and to try and sort out my course for the end of January.
Library books to return but the library is closed Mondays and there is no after hours return slot.
It had just started snowing and we saw where a car and motorbike had collided and all the services were there attending to the injured. We had a new heater to buy as yesterday ours blew up – so we headed into an appliance store and waited and waited for service, then finally the girl came and couldn’t tell us any more than we could read on the tag. We were then ushered to a booth to pay and then sent to another area to wait for your turn to hand over the paper for them to get you your product.
What a bureaucratic performance! As we left the ground was white and it was slippery. Just as we got off the bus we watched a girl slide and come off her motorbike right beside us! Nev raced to the rescue and another lady rang the services while Nev got the bike off the road, amazingly she was ok and could walk to the footpath to wait. Luckily she was not going that fast as the lights had just changed but I think there will be many more accidents to come. All around Paris they have had many accidents with all the snow and black ice which made us very surprised we didn’t hit hardly any on our travels.
Collected the mail and found letters and cards for Hermione and 2 very suspicious letters for Nev- turned out they were speeding tickets from the autoroutes! One was for 86 in a 80km zone and the other 117 in a 110 km zone! Pay within 14 days at €45 or after €180 each! There better not be anymore coming in the mail as these were both before Xmas!
Finally caught up with the blog!!!!!
Happy 40th birthday Karen – would have loved to contribute to the wine drinking to celebrate!
The latest forecast!
