Broken Bed, France and Beyond

Hello loyal readers (James). How are we all?

The last time I updated this was in JUNE apparently. Which is kinda awful and lazy. Who wants to hear about my summer?? You do?! HUZZAH!

Weeeell, when I wrote my last blog, I was still in the flat with Laura, living it up in Gorgie. Hooowever, we moved out at the end of June and went back to lovely lovely Penicuik to live with our respective mothers. After a few months of back-breaking labour in Tesco and bedsore-making lazing in Greg's flat, I moved to FRANCE for the first part of my year abroad. I've been here about 6 weeks now and it's pretty cool. Been going to classes (sometimes), eating baguettes, drinking cheap wine and trying to learn French. (Not much luck with the latter I'm afraid.) Rugby has also been a major theme....

In related news, something CRAZY happened the other night. I was in my bed sleeping, quite innocently, when my bed Snapped In Half. Obviously, i was a bit miffed. Soooo, i went and told Luce, my flatmate/landlady, about it and she was RAGIN. Sooo, I've basically had to replace the bed....costing me €650!! When I asked why I had to pay for it, she said that it must have been put under "unnecessary strain" when Greg was over....and then she did a little bouncy sex mime with her hands. Scandal! Totally not impressed. But, apart from that, France has been fine.

Having internet in my room is kinda a blessing. I live in the centre of town, miiiiiles away from everyone. So it gives me something to do at night, haha. Going out tonight for the rugby though!Woooo! England - France, who should I support? Hmmm.

Anyway, everyone remember to keep in touch. Gimme an email or something!

Au revoir xx
