After my charmed flights over here (a fabulous blur of upgrades, luxury lounges, lots of legroom, decent sleep and good company... no, really!!) I was picked up at the airport by Ian, along with Sarah and Christien.

The next few days were spent with Ian (and as a result aren't really G rated!! lol), so I'll skip to the next bit... :D

Since I arrived I've caught up with friends, been to a swing dance houseparty, played in the inaugural fortnightly Texas Hold'em (poker) game with my brass playing buddies, and spent a lot of quality time with Ian. Awww...

I've been job searching, which can be a really disheartening as an anglophone - it's pretty much no french = no job, which bites. I've applied for a job at a little homemade granola bar business, and I'll be hearing about that in the next couple of days, so you never know!

Haven't been out swing dancing yet, except at the housewarming the other night... will definitely make it out to Cats Corner on Friday night, and I'm hopefully starting Competition and Performance class at Studio 88 Swing (the Swinging Airforce's school) soon. Yeah, I'm always full of good intentions! :D

I'm getting serious about learning French, too. I bought a copy of 'Harry Potter et l'ecole de sorcier' and am very very slowly getting though it. I've started trying to practice my french in everyday life, but I still really suck at it. I've decided to get a tutor (hi Cath!) once a week and see if that helps me at all.
