Well-komm

Well what an exciting day.

Pat's sister is ensconced in a friend's house in Pessac. Some other friends stayed overnight en route to their gite near Arcachon. Then I went to the airport to get the Griffins. A slight panic because my card is still not working and I didn't have any cash for the car park, but thankfully they have reopened the free 1/2 hour car park. A few quick dashes hither and yon and we were steaming off with Griffins and bags to uberfull DaveyHaus.

Fiona took Ben to insure the house and pay the deposit and stuff and I followed on with Liz and kids. The house is great. Then I took Ben to a supermarket to buy wherewith to sustain life till the morrow. And paper plates etc.

The checkout lady said "Are you going camping ?"

"No, he's a new arrival. He arrived today and his furniture arrives tomorrow so they're camping for tonight"

"In the house ?"

"Yes, here in Eysines"

"Then Well-komm".

Isn't that nice ? I told you the French are adorable !

Furniture comes tomorrow, then on Wednesday it would be good to get them sorted with a mobile phone and signed up for Internet if we can. Some time and some how we have to find them a cheap car, too.

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
