Le Mistral is going, going, going, going....never gone!!


Le Mistral, the name of the big wind here in Provence, is supposedly leaving us after giving us one week of hellish, Canada like coldness even though it is atleast 10° Celcius!!!!!
I am feeling better today you should all be glad to know, I have my package, I am content,I am about to take a shower and get clean and I feel positive, which is a lovely outlook on life. It's funny how one minute something feels overwhelming and the next it feels entirely do-able. Well, right now it all feels do-able and this afternoon I'm going camping with Scouts of France which should be...........interesting!!! We'll see.
Anyhow, pictures of school, Isle Sur La Sorgue, and all that jazz that have been accumulating for the past two weeks should be up tomorrow (I hope) and shortly following that the pictures (if theyre good) of Scouts should follow. Missing you all but of course throwing myself into endless homework demands from Canada, stupid projects from French teachers and my newest favourite song 'Get Off' by the Dandy Warhols, so I'm not doing too too badly!!! Je t'aime!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Jane
ps I'm sorry I took the Aurore vid off but she's not really a video fan and also, a video of the chickens and a video from the music concert my music class held should be up soon!!!! A bientot!!

Hi Jane,
Wow, you look like some hottie model in your photo. The French air, despite the Mistral and despite your down moments, seems to be doing you good. It's true what the others have written, your blogs are so well written, so descriptive, it makes me feel as if I'm there. You certainly have a gift for writing!

I just got back from Ontario where I visited the family, but mostly helped Marnie and Paul move into their new home. I too feel so far away from family and miss everybody already.

I can hardly wait to hear about your plans and trip to Morocco. You'll love the medinas, although it's not quite like shopping on Queen Street in the Beaches.

As for the Mistral, HA, I have plenty of experiences with that blasted wind. But I loved it when I hung out my laundry all winter last year. It's true I had to make sure the undies were securely pinned to the clothes line, but boy oh boy, did they dry quickly and smell fresh afterwards.

Keep on blogging Jane. I absolutely love reading about your experiences.

Love, Granny
