KEEP CALM AND BLOG!

So this week hasn't been the best week ever (and no, not because the dog is still alive or Katy Perry didn't swing down the Eiffel Tower by rope and Karl Lagerfeld didn't ask me to be the face of Chanel's next handbag range)... It's just been tough. au-pairing IS tough. But it always sounds so easy. 

Caroline has been absolutely CRAZY this week, and driving me insane. KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON. (Not 'Freak Out and Throw Stuff'.) She's just avoiding me when I need money for shopping, or money she said she's reimburse me with, or my WAGES. I won't bore you. You probably already know if you're one of the people I called to vent to. Then I've had the cleaner at me for not tidying Thelma's wardrobe (yes, wardrobe) - NOT MY JOB! - and someone cooking pasta in the dead of night and leaving everything out for me to clear away early morning. The car has no petrol either, so tomorrow will be a bunch of laughs.

 

On the plus side, I went to see The Tourist again with Catie today. I love it more and more! also I may have to break my streak and start obsessing over another film... Anyway, it was great to see Catie over a Starbucks and we both agreed it was tough to come back to France this time round and that au-pairing WAS a tough job, however easy it sounds. i'll hit anybody who says it's an easy-as job with my mini metal Eiffel Tower sculpture, and then make them take over from me in May. But then I'd live in fear of them coming back to beat me over the head with the Sculpture/souvenir metal monument for pushing them into doing this. Ok so no hitting.

  

This weekend, I'm planning something pretty amazing and spectacular. It's a day thing, and all outside, so will be weather permitting. It's a surprise for all my wonderful readers out there, so I'm not going to tell. Just pray for good weather on Saturday. Or Sunday. hopefully, the result will be a long post of my day, with plenty of photos, hilarity and new ideas for you lot. Tomorrow I'll be needing to charge my camera battery... WATCH THIS SPACE! :P

Weather: 10°C - after seeing England at -10°C, I was expecting a heatwave, but it's rained. All day.
Music: Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden
Mood: Tired. Please pack me in a box and send me back to England.

Also, i went to buy an envelope today, and it turns out you can't buy envelopes at the Post Office. Seriously. What am I supposed to do... Make one?
