Thinking back

It's Tuesday afternoon and I'm desperately trying to think what I did at the weekend. I think the answer is 'not a lot' hence the reason there was no weekend blog post. Saturday, what did I do? Stayed in and worked on my dissertation. Had lunch chez Rachel and then went to the supermarche to buy lentils because I hadn't been able to find them in Casino on Friday. I came back home and continued researching the french education system. On Sunday I continued my research and made couscous with vegetables. I then went to watch the Liverpool Bolton match with Rachel, Lucy, John and Lucy's visitor - Nathaniel. They went for a curry but I came home and had an early night but didn't sleep all that well. I think it was because I hadn't really done alot. On Monday I got up at 8am and got the metro to Castellane picking up the all 3 of the papers on my way. There were articles in both Marseille Plus and 20 Minutes about Les Restos du Coeur and the beginning of their 23rd winter campaign. I went to IKEA to buy a cheese grater because, even though I don't want to grate cheese, I keep wanting to grate potato and not having a cheese grater was starting to annoy me. I got back at about 11h. At 11h30 I went to meet Angeline in the usual place - devant la pharmacie. We went to Cafe Simon for lunch. It was really nice, I had a vegetarian brushetta that was actually called 'vegetarienne' on the menu! It was really nice. Afterwards we went round a few shops and then Angeline came back to mine for a cup of tea. There's a song on the radio that I keep hearing but I don't know what it's called or who sings it. I'd heard it before leaving for IKEA on Cherie FM and Angeline told me about the Cherie FM website. It's the most amazing thing - you can put in that on December 3rd at 8h30 you heard a song and it will tell you which songs were playing at that time! I was therefore able to learn that the song was 'Pomme C' by 'Calogero'. Angeline also told me the name of some songs that she likes and they were ones I'd heard on the radio and that I like too but I didn't know who it was singing them. At 17h30 we left mine and Angeline went home, I went to meet Louise at Vieux Port. She came back from Paris on Monday but was going back on Tuesday. She has an interview for a place at Edinburgh University to do a PGCE to become a Primary School Teacher. Apparently Edinburgh is one of the best for PGCE's... We went for a hot chocolate and agreed that when she comes back on Sunday that we would go to the cinema - there is so much I want to see - Il etait une fois, Agent Double and A la croisee du monde.
