Service will be resumed again shortly….

Apologies for the blogging absence. This is not due to me being like the rest of France and sunning myself on the south coast somewhere during the whole month of August but is in fact due to my new job. Yes following my resignation I have now started a new job, one where I both have no time to blog and also actually want to do the work put in front of me, yes even in August when the office is effectively empty. Furthermore I am under a “periode d’essai” or “trial period” for three months during which my employer may fire me for any reason or for no reason but equally I may also decide that the job doesn’t suit me and leave without giving the required notice. So you see I have to be on my bestest behaviour for the next few months and cannot (nor would I want to) use work time to blog. Come October when hopefully the trial period will be over I plan to move flats and get internet connection at home. After that I shall come back with freshly renewed blogging enthusiasm and once again recount my anecdotes of my life in France.

In the meantime, merci pour votre patience!
