Well March and April will be an interesting time!

I remember one guy who spoke sadly about the multiplication of conferences.

March 16 - March 18 : ICC Prayer Conference near Geneva
March 30 - April 1 : Colloque Biblique Francophone in Lyon
April 4 - April 6 : Acts 29 Resolved Conference in Rome
April 12 - April 14 : City to City in Lisbon
April 11 - April 14 : Banner of Truth Conference in Leicester

methinks me must choose

If I were you, I would drop all the fancy, trendy conferences and go for depth and relationships. Colloque Biblique needs your support. Banner is where you have most close friends going to. The others are in the fancy, trendy category. they don't need you, and you can live without them. You'll get lost in the crowd, there will be lot of noise, and they are very far. If you want to go near Geneva, you don't need to attend ICC. You can come to see us and the Dilworths.

Thanks Emanuel!

I'm not really looking for a relationship at this stage in my life, or to be needed.

I think I'll turn my mobile phone off in March and go for a long walk by the Canal du Midi until mid-April.

You won't do it, I don't think you will do it.
And yes, we youngsters need you with more experience than us.

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
