What's up?

Home improvement of course, but that's old already. Feels like it in anycase.

In other news, Sebastian has had some life altering changes lately. 

He announced out of the blue that avocados are his new favorite food. Funny, he wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole for the first 11 years of his life. 

Seb has also declared tennis to be the new soccer. 

Nothing better than tossing the ball around with your buddies. 

Back on the bike for me. I get to work in 15 minutes and don't really have to pedal (it's mostly downhill). Back home in 15. And I get to pass by this old church tower everyday. This photo is from the courtyard side not the street side, so I can't tell you if the church is still intact but it was an orphanage back in it's day. Now it's a prout prout apartment complex but the church tower with the clock is still there.

Makes me smile like these lovely ladies everytime.

What else....

doing a change of address for my work permit took a whopping 4 hours.Yes, FOUR HOURS! 

 That doesn't include all of the time and effort I am putting in to get my paperwork together for my french citizenship. I have gotten quite used to all the waiting and paperwork though, actually kind of scary.

Hum.....champagne, 

a notable amount of champagne has been shared during the last month or two. 

That evens out for all the waiting and paperwork.

Seb is finished with school tomorrow. A week and a half before the other schools. His school is in charge of grading all of the exams from all of Caen's middle schools taken by the students going to high school.  Does that even make sense? It's now 1:15 in the morning and I feel like I'm slipping a bit. Anyways, yep, school's out. I'm done in one week. 

So, that's what's up in our neck of the woods. 

Lots of cooking, comic book reading, sawing, painting, sunshine, barbecuing,

 purging, discovering and all around good stuff.
