Trying to get the remains of the mascara out of her carpet.
She says the school kids are fiercely fashion competitive. She reckons no one can beat her hairstyles. That will be her contribution.
J is very happy that she can have her favourite soda-ORANGINA - "like meeting and old friend for the first time in years. Sooooo good and soooo welcome." We won't tell anyone that a teenager is actually wearing her mother's top but hey, she looks great.
The Bishop called when she was fast asleep.
She is set up with her SIM card so her phone is functioning.
She says the house is nice - kitchen, living, dining downstairs, bedrooms and bathrooms on the next level and then a home theatre above my room. A bit different, but mostly similar.
J informs me she won't be coming back to Australia. Being there has brought back all the good memories from France and she simply love it too much. She doesn't want to ever leave Europe again. Sorry.
She says it is incredibly hard to go to a European country to learn the native language - "not because the language is hard, but because everyone always wants to speak to you in English. It seems that every time I meet someone, I have to try and explain to them that I actually don't want to speak English. I have actually started giving people the blonde-I-have-no-idea-what-you-mean look when they speak English just so they will speak French."
They put J in a Physics class. She only does Chemistry and biology.
--" They had put me in the ADVANCED physics class
- The class was in French
- I've never done science in French
- The teacher speaks way to fast, even for the French students
- The teacher's handwriting resembles that of another physicist I know..."
"In the second half of the class, some of it started coming together for me. Those who do Physics will laugh at me, though: the teacher asked me to read out a question, and I read out a part of it "1g" as "one gramme"... about 10 minutes later I realised that it was actually talking about G-force. Silly ignorant chemist-biologist I am."
He also has a weird obsession with cats, so somehow there was a cat on the spaceship that had 1G of artificial gravity. On a side note, does anyone want to explain to me the formula that has something to do with uniform circular movement??"

The roasted chestnuts were also very cool (well, hot actually). I liked them, although they were a little expensive so I might keep them as a rare treat. But, it was still great to try them for the first time." J
