No driving today

Today I accompanied our Scottish Secretary into the UFM Glasgow office and we got ready some materials for the brief Scottish stage of the visit. Then I hopped on the train for Edinburgh to meet up with the Metrocalvinist. Once we had found each other we went to the Elephant House cafe (where the Harry Potter books were written). A nice espresso, possibly the best view I have ever seen from a cafe and a nice talk about France and stuff.

I hopped on the Glasgow train, then realised it was the wrong Glasgow train. At Glasgow Central Station I asked the ticket man how to get to Charing Cross. You don't go to Charing Cross from here, he said. You go there from Queen Street.

So how do I get to Queen Street from here ? My helper shook his head, but his colleague said that there was a shuttle bus from outside the station. So it was that a 45 minute journey took 2 1/2 hours.

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
