EXCELLENTE ANNEE A TOUS !
Hello peoples�.
I�m writing this email in stages because this keyboard is so kooky that i feel that it is going to take me about four years to even write a paragraph. (for example: ���������)
The reason for the kooky keyboard is because I�m currently in Paris in my swanky office waiting for my supervisor to turn up so I can get down to some hardcore science action!!! �� um�. Yeah!
I had a loverly christmas in Preston with Smiley's family (it seems that it is not just my mum who thinks i still need stuffed toys!)�.. well it was different anyway. IT SNOWED!!! That�s all I really cared about. I have some photos ( santa bought me a digital camera too!) of me acting like a nong in the snow�. I just have to get near a computer that I can download the pictures onto�. I�m not sure if they would be impressed with me doing it here.
New years was also pleasant. Unfortunately we went to a house party rather than cruising around the metaphorical heaven that is the pubs of Chorley (see my sarcasm), where I prepared a loverly plate of fairy bread for the guests, to which I was assured that it was �suprisingly nice�. What�s a party without fairy bread!?!?
I think it was a good idea for me to eat most of the fairy bread because 2.5 pints of beer, 1 bottle of red wine and 1 tiny bottle of beer later and I wasn�t the one upstairs in the bathroom being sick�. Score!!! (I still can�t fathom why people would put carpet in their bathrooms�. I suppose it means you never have to mop! And the carpet will dry your feet so you don�t have to bend over whilst noody)
I got to Paris on Sunday night. Was quite easy getting from the airport to my hotel (I�m staying just east of the city in a place called Le V�sinet) apart from the fact that I have the most annoying suitcase on earth and had never been without a strong person to carry it around for me until now. Oooh I also managed to throw my hand luggage down an escalator at one of the train stations I went through. That was slapstick comedy at it�s best, however I don�t think the general public agreed.
Yes, I�m staying in a hotel for three months! Don�t look at me, I�m not p�ying for it!
I really need to learn some French though. Otherwise it means I�ll just be going to the same supermarket over and over and buying bread and cheese for every meal.
I think I�ll venture into the city on the weekend. Shouldn�t be too hard. The less questions I need to ask, the less bizzare looks I will be getting.
Anyway� this is where I�m staying in case you want to send me welfare packages:
