Some of my avid readers, ok, my mum, have noticed that I haven’t been updating the French blog quite as frequently as the Korean one, or pretty much not at all. This is for a number of reasons… 1. I now have a normal life again 2. There haven’t really been any embarrassing incidents, or at least not on the scale of in Korea, and 3. I thought people might just think I was showing off!
However, I also understand that an insight into a life in Lyon might be interesting to some people, so perhaps an update of the last 7 weeks would be useful. For now I will start with the food…
I have eaten, approximately 18 pain au chocolat’s, 10 quiches, 8 ham and cheese baguettes, 8 baguettes with ham and/ or cheese and/or pate, 4 pounds of chocolate, 10 macaroons, 3 tarte tatins, 3 helpings of Tiramisu, 3 portions of dauphinois potato’s, 20 salads, 15 glasses of red wine, 10 glasses of white, 5 glasses of Champagne, 3 cups of coffee where I actually managed to stand the spoon up in, some fois gras, 4 banana’s, a box of muesli and a cow.
My goal to start with was to make it through the day without bread, cheese or ham. Now I am aiming for the more easily accomplished goal of not all 3 more than twice in one day. I just can’t wait to try on the 2 bridesmaids dresses I have to try on in the next month…
Interesting phrase of the week…Je suis obèse

The pictures accompanying this week's blog are the immediate area surrounding where I live, and some photo's along the walk to work. Anyone coming to visit?
