It's time for school holidays again. Yeah, term started on Jan 5 and finished by 14 Feb. Next term goes from 1 Mar till 14 Apr. French teachers have a nice life. They get a two week break at six week intervals, with two months off in summer, and during term time, there are no classes on Wednesdays. Husband reminded me to add that some days, classes are cancelled due to teacher's strike, transport strike, caterer's strike etc etc.
I'll take a break too. Nothing new to report on the home front. We are waiting for winter to be over. The days are still cold but it doesn't get dark too early. I have been staying at home and liking it a lot. The papers are full of depressing news,subconsciously and consciously we have retreated into ourselves, to take stock, to prioritise, to simplify. I don't shop for stuff anymore, except for discounted fabrics online. It's time to read all the unread books on the shelves, as well as the newspaper and magazines we subscribe to.
Tonight I am braising pork sausages with apples and pale beer. The dogs are getting hamburgers and vegetables. Hibernation food. See y'all in spring!
