Well I simply don't know what to say about this

Astonishing.

Indeed! Amazing. Well keep reading it, is what I say. Never mind the reason. Will we be sharing eternity with an ex Mafia Godfather? Or am I just being naive? We shall just have to wait and see. It would be nice to think that there will be some FBI agents and Italian counterparts there too, possibly as a result of this attention to the Bible.

I don't mean to imply, by the way, that FBI agents are ipso facto not saved! I am sure there are many Christian FBI agents, though one would hope that a Christian mafia godfather would quickly find alternative employment.

That latter point about alternative employment might prove a little difficult. I understand that there is only one form of retirement from the Mafia - other than imprisonment! I agree with Elen, let's wait and see, but who knows, whether this is sincere or not, how many people may be affected in their eternal destiny as a result of looking more closely at this story.

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
