Who said Monday is the worst day of the week?! On the
contrary I’ve had a lovely day. The fact that I’m not working on Mondays might
have something to do with it I suppose…
I woke up to another beautiful day, with a list of errands
for the day. I needed to go to the office
de tourisme as I still didn’t have a map of the town, collect a letter from
the post office, and go shopping for food. Having faffed around as usual in the
morning, I didn’t make it out till about midday. Once again I had forgotten
that every single establishment closes down for lunch in France . Arriving
at the post office, I found it had closed 9 minutes ago, my trip to the tourist
office following suit. Putains!
I ended up, however, wandering around the town a bit more,
discovering even more little roads and alleys, visiting inside the churches,
and falling in love with the town.

I can now say that I am so happy to have been placed in this part of the country, in such an historic and picturesque town. It may be a bit out in the sticks and lacking in people my age, but it is so typically French, and there are certain areas where I could happily sit for hours admiring the scenery.

It’s going to be a good year, I feel.
