Even though I’ve always known what torrent sites are, I’ve never used them. I don’t know why, I just never really got around to looking at them I guess. Seeing French TV is crap and I never get to see any of my favourite shows, I’m going to start downloading them.
I’m going to use the [...]

I had to renew by gym membership today which resulted in a typically difficult conversation in French/English.
One girl asked my something about my husband which I didn’t quite catch so I asked her to repeat it. So then she tried to tell me in English but I couldn’t understand a word she said. Then the [...]

I saw 3 apartments last week. One horrid one in Boulogne on one of the busiest avenues in the area. Then I saw 2 in the 16, both within walking distance to by gym, which is very important.
The first was in rue Chanez which is the same street as the gym. Maybe that is too [...]

Note to self, never go to the Club Med Gym at Palais Royal again. It’s too gay! Really, it’s not fun at all when all the guys are checking out each other rather than me! hehe
Other reasons not to go:

it’s filthy
it’s very small
the machines are ancient
there are not enough cardio machines
they don’t have the machines [...]

There is a retoucherie near my house where I go quite often with Ferbent’s clothes (he seems to be constantly buying jeans). So I kind of know the guy who works there and lets just say he, well, likes to chat to me. Ferbent is usually with me (retoucherie guy never says a word to [...]

My first day of apartment hunting was pretty grim. I saw 3 apartments for rent and they were all terrible.
The first apartment was in the 16th near metro Jasmin. I like this location because it’s close to the gym where I go and I don’t really want to change gyms. At €1150 per month for [...]

On the train trip back from Rome, we stopped off for a couple of days in Nice. It was my first time there and really enjoyed it. It wasn’t has hot and sunny as I would have liked but it wasn’t cold either.
The old city is a great place to explore although a lot of [...]

Ferbent’s mother lives alone in Albania. Being Albanian means it’s very difficult to travel as they need visas for pretty much every country. It took 6 months and about a billion documents for her to get an Australian tourist visa a couple of years ago to visit us in Australia.
However, it seems that having the [...]

I only chose to go to Stuttgart because I got a really cheap ticket. I wanted to go to Germany but was hoping to go to Munich or Berlin but I couldn’t resist the €20 ticket on the TGV.
I thought Stuttgart was going to be a dull, grey, industrial city – seeing it’s the home of [...]
