Ferbent has a ‘pay as you’ go phone which I usually discourage him from using. He tends to call me to tell me the most banal things. He’s already called me three times today.
Firstly, he called me to let me know he forgot his keys for work. He didn’t want me to take them to [...]

I have two cats, Jade and Topaz, who live in Australia with my parents. They are both 17 years old so it’s not surprising they’re getting a little frail.
Topaz is not well. She doesn’t eat much and only weighs around 2 kilos. To be fair, she’s always been a very small cat but things got [...]

I went to the Salon du Chocolat yesterday without a ticket which was a big mistake. You can buy the tickets online at FNAC but I didn’t get around to it so I just turned up at Porte de Versailles. There was no queue for those who had pre-purchased tickets but the queue to buy [...]

I’ve been without any kind of health insurance for more than six months. Before that I had travel insurance which would have covered me for any emergency health care. I have a Carte de Sejour (French resident permit) and my husband is working full time and paying tax, so I am (or should be) entitled [...]

The Salon du Chocolat started today in Paris. It only goes until Wednesday so I’d better hurry up and get my ticket. I’m sure this is one event not to be missed. I’ve heard it gets very crowded so I guess I’m not the only one who loves chocolate.
I’ve never been before so I don’t [...]

I’ve been sick since Friday, with a cold, so didn’t do anthing this weekend. I didn’t even leave the house. That’s pretty bad but all I wanted to do was sleep and I did exactly that. Sleep, play cards on the net and watch rubbish TV.
I have been out this morning though. I was supposed [...]

The Paris Open is on shortly and I can’t wait to go. I’ve already bought my tickets for the Thursday, round 3, and Saturday for the semi finals. I went in 2000 and loved it. That was the first time I ever went to a tennis tournament and since then have been to Wimbledon and [...]

I can’t understand why so many people still pay by cheque in France. I have often seen the French pay by cheque at the supermarket for amounts as low as 5 euros. They’re crazy. I have never had a cheque book in my life and never will. On the rare occasion when I need a [...]

I went to the motor show in Perth once and it was pretty boring. It was small and of no interest whatsoever. For that reason I was hesitant about going to the Paris Motor Show, along with the fact that I’m not that interested in cars. However, I would like to buy a small car [...]

A week ago I joined a gym in Paris and not just any gym but for sure the best gym in this city. I had been thinking about it for a while but wasn’t sure I could justify the expense. Why pay to exercise when I can walk for hours around beautiful Paris for free. [...]
