This is crazy Wednesday week, so here's what to pray for :

...
Today is calm : just lots of documents to read and reflect on, then prayer meeting tonight.

Tomorrow : Passerelle preparation in the morning. Church council afternoon. Passerelle in the evening.

Thursday : calm : Just English class in the evening, and preparation for it during the day.

Friday : the weekend is in view. Sort out Sunday properly.

Saturday afternoon - Easter Kidz Klub at the church. I'm not involved but Pat and the kids are.

We also have a Family Need - Catrin is hoping to get into Lycée François Magendie in the American section. We have to submit her dossier by Friday. To do this we need her school report for the second trimestre. Please pray it arrives soon. Also there's an entrance exam, two 250 word essays in English. I don't think this will be a huge problem, except that the exam is on 2 May when she is due to be on a school trip to Toulouse. Pray that they'll accept that she sits the exam on another day.

Stuffed in here and there, sermon prep for the Colloque. I preach evening of 10th, 11th and 12th April.
I know where I am going with the messages now, please pray for clarity and organisation of thought !

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
