It's déjà vu all over again !




Ben and I spent a very happy couple of hours in the Carphone Warehouse with a very helpful chap sorting out mobile phones for them. Contracts are happily cheaper in France than in Britain, though you don't get all the special deals that are so popular in the UK. So we got them sorted out with mobiles and the guy gave us some advice on what to do about phone lines and internet. Basically they need France Telecom to set up their phone line. And then they need to switch quickly to some other company to avoid the line rental each month. Just like us all that time ago...

Then we all ate lunch together and we Daveys left them to await the furniture men who
1) phoned to say they were 100 miles away and approaching
2) phoned to say they were stuck in traffic
3) just now phoned to say that they are in Eysines but can't get to the house because of weight restrictions on approach roads and can Ben guide them in from the SuperU. None of us know where the SuperU is.

So the removal men will need to ask for directions into this area of housing where people must move in and out fairly regularly.

We next meet up with the Griffins on Friday when we hope to get France Telecom sorted out to set up their phone line and get the kids enrolled for school.

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
