Back to school

Catrin went back to school today, slightly put out that her brother has another week off.

She has two job-sharing teachers, both nice, and she's in the classroom that Gwilym was in last year, so she likes that. "Nice room, isn't it," quoth he. There's a couple of things that she needs that I am convinced were not on her list of stuff - an ardoise (personal whiteboard) and paints. Still. We can rustle them up.

Meanwhile the Griffinettes started school. Luke made it till lunchtime, having vomited in the morning. Liz was told she could send him in in the afternoon with spare clothes or keep him home. She kept him home. Joshua made it through the entire day.

Ben and I scuttled off to the DEFLE and he paid and is now registered for his course. 'There's a little test to begin,' said the person in the office. Little test ! It is the hardest test I EVER did.

Then we got Joshua's stuff for school. Then delivered their "inscription for school" form to the Mairie. And that's that.

The Griffin's COULD have a car at the weekend. A friend who is going to work in Ukraine for a while wants to sell her old but working and MOT'd-for-18-months Peugeot 405 estate, vintage unknown, for not much at all. It's scruffy but a good runner. Sounds just the ticket, said Ben.

So there we are ! Prayer meeting tonight.

Alan, you probably know this but the date of manufacture/first sale of the car should be on the [i]carte grise[/i].

Do they MOT cars for 2 years at a time in France? How very civilised.

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
