Saturday 8th March

Didn’t do a lot today. Did more sewing of the sea, watched ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ and ‘13 going on 30’ both in French with english subtitles. Had a little wander up Rue du Gros Horloge - my goodness it was packed. Because all the shops close on a Sunday, everyone was out shopping. It was like trying to walk through Primark when they are at their busiest. There were also a lot of tourists taking photos of the big clock - one Japanese lady was even taking a picture of McDonalds - and annoying people in orange fleeces out in force trying to sell a charity or something. I bought a couple more croissants, and stupidly told they lady ‘deux chocolat chaud’ instead of ‘deux pain au chocolat’ - but she know what I meant. On the way back I stopped at Monoprix again to get a washing line. Morgane has said she’ll show me how to use the washing machine, so I have constructed a mini washing line along a beam in my room. I think I’ll still use the launderette for sheets etc because I have no room to hang them, but at least I can get clean socks when I want to. By the look of her washing, it takes 2/3 days to dry in her part of the flat, and she has better heating. Great.
