I took the metro back from Mabillon (X-mas market has started again) because I just didn't feel like walking again. Got home to study a bit again. Reading recipes, recipes, more recipes and all the regional stuff we have to learn. Haven't got a clue what they are going to ask next Wednesday at the written exam, we'll just have to wait and see.
Sunday; Got up fairly early, read a bit in the Cordon Bleu binder and went to the local market at Dupleix metro station.
Fruit, flowers, fish, vegetables, bread, cheese, local protesters, homeless people, rich people, lots of 60+ people and occasionally a tourist. This market at Dupleix is twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Very nice!
It was quite busy at the market and the weather was great!
Bought some fruit, had a chat with a local (oh yeah!) in fluent Franglais, but it was just nice.
Then breakfast in the local cafe on the corner of the market. I brought my LCB books and stayed for about 1.5 hrs.... Lots of gooooooooooodddddd coffee!
These three shops are my local boulangerie, fish monger and cheese shop.
Home now; Put the iPod on random play and turned up the volume, cleaned the apartment a bit, played on the internet, had a glass of vin blanc, studied a bit (encore) and did some ironing (LCB stuff).
Dinner: Bought a coquelet (mini chicken) with a baguette and a bottle of wine.
Tomorrow will be a long day - practical-demo-practical and finally an evening demo.... we'll finish by 21.00 hrs....
A demain!
