Just a quick prayer point

I meet up with the headmistress on Tuesday at lunchtime. It is probably the meeting I requested before the winter holidays, when I asked if we could have an english teacher present, too, in case I got into difficulties explaining our problem to the headmistress. That request was superseded when we had that crisis with Catrin and I had to explain to the head in French what was going on, and she understood fine. Since that meeting things have been nothing short of wonderful. A friend even teased Catrin once about having school on Saturday and she said "I don't mind. I like school now because I am in CE2."

Anyway, we are meeting up. It could be a very happy meeting if they want to review where we are now and how things are working out at present. It could be a decisive meeting if they want to talk about what happens after the summer (do the kids move on or stay in their year to redouble). It could be awkward if they want to review the past, especially since the teacher who will be present is one of those who seemed to think that French could be harangued into Catrin.

I need to have wisdom, restraint and firmness all at once. Not easy.

A bit about music exams in UK and France

They're really different. I think I have already mentioned that while in the UK people generally find a private teacher for their instrument, or do it through a school scheme, here there are municipal music school, conservatoires and so on. The situation is a little more complex than I had first understood, because the schools vary in the rigidity of their organisation: the most, the conservatoires, next the municipals, then the associations. Our music school is an association, but it tends to apply the standards of the municipal schools with its programme of cycles, etc. Britain - grade 1 to 8, grade 8 being roughly equivalent to A-level, pre university/conservatoire. France - 3 cycles, each taking about 4 years, with 3ème cycle being roughly equivalent to grade 8. Theory of music - UK to take grade 8 you need theory grade 5. In France you study theory alongside your instrumental studies, very slowly. Catrin's flute music is MUCH more difficult than the stuff she does in theor

The Kitchen

 Our new apartment will be equipped with toilet and bathroom etc. but not with anything at all in the kitchen. Not even a sink. So we need to purchase a kitchen and engage a kitchen fitter. A friend who knows how to fit kitchens suggested buying an Ikea kitchen. "They're guaranteed twenty years and they honour their guarantee", he said. "I've proved it". Well I don't know any other kitchen laces in France, and I can't imagine there's much that's cheaper than Ikea, so I was happy to accept his advice. So it was that on Monday I booked an appointment with the Ikea Kitchen Planning Service in the centre of Bordeaux. The woman was friendly. "You've already started the process", she said, (have we?) "so that will save us lots of time". "What are you aiming for?" Something not too country, something discreet, something that can adapt to whatever colours we put in the rest of the room. She understood our dislike of
