SHINING THROUGH: November 2006
http://ericalifeinlondon.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 30, 2006. Continuing from My Story in London so far.Part 2. Also good, I must admit, was the feeling of being powerful and to walk in a five star hotel in Kensington and just be a queen for a night. And did I tip? I tipped like there was no tomorrow. Money meant nothing to me, ironically. Change in my pocket would just fly into waiters and chambermaids hands. There was no stopping me. The end was like crashing back to earth after a journey to the moon. Life went on and I ended up with ...

SHINING THROUGH: December 2006
http://ericalifeinlondon.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 14, 2006. Taking a break from writing about my past, I am getting ready for the Xmas road trip we will take in a few days. We will travel from London to Marseille, driving through all of France and then we will get on a ferry straight to Rome. It will be 14 hours on the ferry! But it will be by night, 6pm to 9.30am, so not too bad, as I will be sleeping 10 hours of those. Also, this here below is the car we will be travelling with - so it will be great fun! We just bought it in Septemb...

Translation, S'il Vous Plaît?: November 2011
http://translationsilvousplait.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
We spent New Year's in Perpignan, where it got up to 18 C (65 F). Monday, 14 November 2011. Testing, testing. 1,2,3. This is an attempt to write. I haven’t written for years. I feel the muscles in my brain flail, the synapses firing without much response. A long, dull echo – nobody’s home. Where have I been all this time? Making adjustments. I can be called responsible, I suppose, for a full-time, energetic family of four where I am supposed to be the wife/mother/lover/cook/cleaner. Born in Southern Cali...

Translation, S'il Vous Plaît?: Crime and Punishment - Part II
http://translationsilvousplait.blogspot.com/2010/10/crime-and-punishment-part-ii.html
We spent New Year's in Perpignan, where it got up to 18 C (65 F). Monday, 18 October 2010. Crime and Punishment - Part II. Mom came to visit for two weeks and after she left, we took stock and realized Lulu was out of our control. He had basically treated his poor grandmother like his slave. On the last day, I spotted a wound in my mom's leg and asked her about it, and she said, "I didn't want to tell you. Lulu bit me the second day I was here." My reaction: WHAT? Since when does Lulu bite people? I had ...

Translation, S'il Vous Plaît?: ...and back again
http://translationsilvousplait.blogspot.com/2010/09/and-back-again.html
We spent New Year's in Perpignan, where it got up to 18 C (65 F). Friday, 24 September 2010. It has been over a year since my last blog. If you are reading this, THANK YOU for making the effort. In a nutshell, here is what I can remember from the last year, in (nearly) chronological order:. From Aug 2009 to May 2010, I worked in an office environment that gave me the opportunity to practice my French, to work with French people and even to make some friends. Lulu started school (. And is enjoying it.

SHINING THROUGH: October 2007
http://ericalifeinlondon.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 22, 2007. She is healthy, active and looks beautiful! Sorry for the delay in announcing the news, I was away to see my family in Italy straight after. We are over the moon that everything looks as it should be and she is growing perfectly. Getting a little nervous about it, but I try not to worry too much, as billions of women have been through it and I am sure I will cope somehow. And at the end of the pain, there will be so much joy that no words can describe. Tuesday, October 09, 2007.

Translation, S'il Vous Plaît?: Employed!
http://translationsilvousplait.blogspot.com/2009/07/employed.html
We spent New Year's in Perpignan, where it got up to 18 C (65 F). Friday, 24 July 2009. In the last three weeks, there were three major job-related developments:. 1)The interview I had earlier this month went well. I am to hear back from the school at the end of August; the headmistress/principal is away until then. During the interview she asked if I would also like to teach English to high schoolers. I said, "That doesn't scare me at all." Straight after, I had second thoughts. Born in Southern Califor...

Lundi 15 décembre 2008. Which is more corrupt, Illinois or Louisiana? Louisiana without a doubt; never underestimate the manipulative cunning of Southerners. The slow Southern drawl is a ploy to throw you off! Just my (tongue in cheek)two cents. 16 décembre 2008 à 18:28:00 UTC 1. Inscription à : Publier les commentaires (Atom).

Julia in France: février 2008
http://julia-in-france.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Jeudi 28 février 2008. Monday morning I was feeling rather sad I had not overpacked my bag with more changes of clothes. Oh well. We headed out that day on a winding way back to Lyon, stopping to see some sights along the way. We made a quick stop in Germigny-des-Prés to check out the 11th century Carolingian church. It was built by Theodulf of Orléans. In 806 and is one of France's oldest churches. Liens vers cet article. Mercredi 27 février 2008. The accidental 3-day weekend. Needless to say, B changed...

Julia in France: Cassis
http://julia-in-france.blogspot.com/2008/12/cassis.html
Dimanche 14 décembre 2008. Our last trip was down to Cassis, which is on the Mediterranean 20 km from Marseilles, the weekend of the 6th of December. It was lovely to have some sunshine and warmer weather. Although this photo doesnt really do it justice, the houses were painted bright shades of yellow and pink. The main part of Cassis surrounds a harbor, and the buildings on the water are mostly restaurants. It also had a small and rocky beach, where some people were actually swimming. Frog with a blog.
