Comments

I was inundated at the weekend with a request to enable people to leave feedback ("comments"!) on the blog.

Revd Evans, of South-East England, suggests that they could be a source of encouragement and fellowship - a sort of "hands across the sea" effect.

Thank you Revd Evans. Your feedback is awaited!

Good to see we can now leave comments. I have been reading your blog since before you left for France. We continue to remember you in prayer.

I will leave no comments under any circumstances. If comment-less technology was good enough for Calvin, then it's good enough for me.

Do you know, paul (probably - maybe liz), you're right! I checked my copy of the Institutes last night and ... no comments section. Amazing!

You see, Calvin lived before the computer and internet! Even cars apparently! Amazing. Not surprising that he had not one single relevant idea!

I knew that inviting "comments" was a bad idea.

Plus, how nice to see Steve "Stunning" Dunning while wandering here in the wilds of western France. This is the real advantage of comments!

At LTS, Steve sat at the right hand hand of the front row, I sat at the extreme left. With Phil Bancroft poised immediately in front of the lectern, the poor lecturers simply had nowhere to turn as the theological exocets homed in.

Hi Steve!

Odd though - he never used to be 42.

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
