Emmygration: The Kiné (Health Care Encounter Series)
http://emmygration.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-kine.html
Thursday, 15 November 2012. The Kiné (Health Care Encounter Series). Without doubt, the health care professional who has changed my life in France beyond belief would be the kiné (physiotherapist). I'm trying to remember right now what single event made me go to see the GP to ask to get a referral to the kiné, since I've had the problems all my life. It was probably J who suggested it after hearing me complain or seeing me struggle with my 'dodgy' legs just one time too many. Couldn't help myself source.

Emmygration: Expat Questionnaire
http://emmygration.blogspot.com/p/expat-questionnaire.html
Over the years, people have asked me all sorts of questions about what it's like to live in France. I will shortly be updating this page with Q&As. If you have any questions, please get in touch. I'd be happy to answer them! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). To Bise or not To Bise - that is the question. From the paper and pencil archives. A Very Informal Corpus Linguistic Analysis of Telenovela Spanish: Pasión y Poder. The adventures of an American Blonde in France. I'll be reaching for the stars with you.

Emmygration: The running shoe shop
http://emmygration.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-running-shoe-shop.html
Thursday, 25 October 2012. The running shoe shop. I'd been looking into getting a new pair of running shoes ever since my new podiatrist said that I was injuring my feet with my old ones. I actually was making my left big toe bleed a little each time I ran and it got worse and worse until it was pretty ugly (but not very painful all the same). For the first time and looking in sports shops nearby but that never happened obviously. He asked if I had had an operation and when that was. Bonus He gave me som...

Emmygration: Don't speak too soon
http://emmygration.blogspot.com/2012/10/dont-speak-too-soon.html
Wednesday, 10 October 2012. Don't speak too soon. I have learnt over the years to be very wary of looking forward to things. So much so, that people would say I'm a pessimist. I would agree to an extent, but I also do it as a self protecting mechanism. A few years ago, I blogged about how happy I was to be going to Mexico. To see a friend and have a holiday of a lifetime, only to blog a few days later to say that we couldn't go. In fact, I am wondering why I have a blog at all today. 10 October, 2012.

Emmygration: March 2012
http://emmygration.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 March 2012. 1262, beginning of the magic? It's really not easy writing a blog post after you've been away for a long time, so I thought I'd go with a title which refers to my entry number for a 10km walking event that I'm doing on Sunday. More on that later, but first. Things improved greatly when my parents came to visit us here in France for the very first time at the end of the year. Before we didn't have enough space for them to stay, but with the house it became possible! There are alread...

Emmygration: April 2012
http://emmygration.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 April 2012. Like I have already mentioned, this year is going to the year that things change. I'm fed up of thinking that if xyz changes, I'd feel better but I really do believe now that I am the only one who is capable of changing things for me. This means I want to do more things for me. I've already spoken about the gospel choir that I've joined, which is, by the way going brilliantly! I leave each rehearsal buzzing! In fact, it's really been since I moved to France nearly 7 years ago!

Emmygration: June 2012
http://emmygration.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 June 2012. I completed W5D3 on Friday evening. I'm not someone who is creative or good with words, I'm more the type of person to get to the point. The point is this time is that I can't even put into words how I felt when I finished W5D3 of the C25k programme on Friday. I know I'm taking baby steps, but this running thing is addictive. I'm already looking forward to going out tomorrow to start W6 on the programme and I've started to look for a race to sign up to in France or the UK. Really sp...

Iron Mum news, Iron Mums' views and random musings. Reading Half Marathon – against all odds. March 2, 2014. No problem re transport though, there’s a train at 8.14 from Bramley which gets to Reading 8.30am, plenty of time for the shuttle bus to the start. Met up with a few other runners on the platform, get chatting, the display reads ‘1st train: 8:14 Reading, on time’. Marvellous. How heavy would your phone have to be before you could say it had slowed you down in a race? This is not going well. Th...

Iron Mum news, Iron Mums' views and random musings. Larr; The new runners’ lexicon. Janathon Day 31: The End of the Journey. Or is it…? February 1, 2014. Still buzzing from Janathon. But February has traditionally been my month for Achieving Great Things: it’s nice and short, all the rich food left over from Christmas has been eaten/expired, and the snowdrops hold out the promise of spring in the not-too-distant future. Remember Feballenge. Same story this year really: as per The Plan. Janathon Day 31: T...

Iron Mum news, Iron Mums' views and random musings. Larr; Iron Mum life hacks. Guest Post: Ode to Iron Mum. January 31, 2013. February: the perfect month for a bit of focus. You’ve been paid, spring’s around the corner, it’s no longer dark at 5pm, all the Christmas leftovers have been eaten or binned. And it’s only 28 days. That’s 4 weeks exactly (count ‘em). If you’re needing a bit of discipline or your resolutions flagged in those draggingly long dreary January days, tomorrow marks a whole new start.
