My Corner

Looking at your partner and say; “I can’t afford more restaurants this month. I need to eat home..”

Then the idea of sleeping on the sofa is cancelled because you need to go outside and walk around.

Then trying to go outside only to be attacked by allergy and heat or something else..

And procrastinating doing the replanting by doing grass mowing..

Trying to explain to your partner who comes back from vacation that you tried to do all the plans but only so much could be done.

Merde…

J’avais rendez-vous chez ma médecine… juste pour quitter l’apothicaire avec un sac de médicaments et un portefeuille douloureux…

J’ai ensuite tenté de demander un remboursement à mon assurance.

«  bah non - ces médicaments ne sont pas remboursables… les autres oui — mais cet specific chose ? Non… »

Bien sûr, c’est celui qui coûte le plus cher.

Mais c’est aussi très bien

On attend juste, et fait les choses habituelles. On essaye de penser : « Ça ira. C’est juste une journée. À tout moment maintenant. »

And also discovered that there is lot of rotisserie chickens on French markets.

Je dois dire que les filets mignons sont vraiment délicieux - incroyable. Quand on visite le marché — oh lalala — je dois juste trouver le vendeur qui vend les filets mignons.

At the time — for a brief moment, I laughed at the “they stacked Pierre on top of Pierre.” I know it meant stone though I was an goofball and thought for a moment they had collected every dude named Pierre at the time of construction.

They still use the word when addressing animals such as flies and birds.

« With a knife !? »

“This is scandalous — a crime!”

I then learnt that culture differences sure showed. As there was no cheese slicer in the cupboards despite desperate attempts to locate one to preserve the cheese.

La semaine prochaine, la température va baisser… Dieu merci.

Je ne pense pas si je pourrais continuer à vivre comme une guimauve fondue.

Is it because of a word ? I changed it seeing it may be due to it…

Learning the culture and language: so far I am getting closer to a B1 level.

Began reading classic literature and have reached a point where my reading and comprehension are good enough to I can now read the subtitles in French.

I have almost finished the « Da Vinci Code » in French.
