Reason Baby's Cheeks Are Red

All Blacks (Sunday, November 19, 2006) All


Ce jour, je décide de me reposer. Je calme les ardeurs. Je cours, je donne cours, je vais de droite à gauche, mais poser ses valises fait du bien aussi. Surtout que hier, je n'ai pas ménagé ma peine.

Comme tous les samedis, j'ai commencé par mes trois heures de cours (et oui, le samedi aussi). J'ai ensuite filé vers Kew Gardens .
Les gens devaient être particulièrement joyeux de cette journée encore et toujours ensoleillée. Je ne compte pas le nombre de personnes qui ont bavardé avec moi sur les Gardens Terrace ou le jardin botanique, qui m'ont advised on the best route, I with my map London AZ in hand. First there was this young couple, who even invited me to come in autumn to visit Kew Gardens because it is so much to see that beautiful gardens can be visited in all seasons. They taught me some stories, like this old lady also who heard me speak with the young couple on the point of going to the Garden Terrace, told me that Mick Jagger there was a house. She also told me the steps she was doing with her children to cross the park Richmond Hill when younger, they had to walk.
And the evening before going home, an old gentleman accosted me 83 years. He wanted to chat. He knew German and some Polish, but not French and crestfallen, he confessed he had no memory of learning a language.

the evening social life continued, finding the friend who had shared much against him for a few weeks the apartment of India. He had prepared the meal in her new apartment at Willesden Green (happy man who lives in the north) and invited me to go attend with one of her flatmates in English and French national sport-after-football, rugby . I'm not a fan of the sport of gross broken nose, but eventually better not miss this opportunity, especially as the game pitted the team néozélandaise " All Blacks 'to' Blue " of France.
I must admit that I myself am amused, as much for the atmosphere of the pub (no fighting, unbelievable), among others thanks to a somewhat exuberant néozélandaise wanting to prove that his team was the best (I care, I'm Belgian!), that game fun to follow.
There are still technology and strategy in this sport!
We still extended in a bar in Chelsea to return to the same extravagance of the Italian last time.
But I stopped there. At midnight, I followed nothing conversations.

Adjust Honeywell Pilot Light

Richmond (Saturday, 18 November 2006)




Today, I put the images first, when I follow the text' have time. Because it was at first please the eye and the exit. Too beautiful, too beautiful! Garden terrace and Richmond Hill, do not miss it by going to London. Take the district line and after visiting Kew Gardens (botanical garden, thank you), you continue up Garden Terrace, which gives a superb view of the English countryside and left snaking Thames to London right. Then you wait for the sunset, and you end up with a walk in the woods of Richmond Hill in the risk of encountering deer and deer. Well, the details later, already enjoy!

Background For Usb On Vista

Kiwi, Aussie! (Friday, 17 November 2006)

The autumn weather, although it is particularly sweet this year, arrived. The trees shed their leaves in the morning is hard to get up and night falls before you be returned home. The cold morning is there, the cold rain falls more often, the wind blows ... No doubt, summer is behind us. And
germs reappear. Runny noses, coughs, flu and attack from behind as she can. In England, this year there is a problem of supply of flu vaccines, which does not concern me because I'm not into risk categories. Let the medical care for those who need it.

But still, I must beware: the waiting trains, buses or subways, travelers who need heat to open the windows as if it was summer, contact the prospective students themselves sick push me to be vigilant. So I attack
the most effective remedies. Certainly, recipe grandmother, but it works: the reserve of vitamin C.
Morning lemon tea with honey, and kiwi. The evening Rebelote. A journey of a stealth virus has attempted to weaken me, but missed, the remedy worked. Hey, hey!

In fact, here, when talking about the Kiwis in London, also known as the large community of New Zealanders. And the Aussies are the Australians. Interesting, Indeed?

27th Birthday Invitation Rhymes

Countdown (Monday, 13 November 2006)

If they could all be as nice as him ...

The other two kids, it's less joy. Imagine the teacher: each day he must pick up the youngest in school, take the bus, to taste, monitor homework and lessons, then when the sister arrived, he must repeat the scenario prequ'à identically. Not very rewarding, especially as children are less adorable. For
nothing spoil the "guardian" (in this case me) has to be slipped 1:00 to 1:00 and a half journey to get there. Then the same thing in reverse.
bonus, for work of "luxury nanny" rate is less interesting. I had agreed early in the period to put butter on toast, but given the success of other courses, the value of continuing became particularly limited.

And here today, sorry, I am! Plus a round, I expect my payment for ten days. It seems that the bank had a problem. As I soared in knowing that the money came the first of the month, I'm stuck. Rent, shopping, transportation, ... how can I do? If money is not there today, I only have the sleeve or prostitution.
Otherwise, if the charity pays properly, financially, it became very livable, while keeping in mind that no social security or pension is covered.


This does not, however, the picture darkens. I remain fundamentally satisfied with the experience and life in London. I meet people from different backgrounds, I visit, I discover, I live as an independent, I feel the freedom that blew into town.

The purpose of the experiment in London is manifold: learning English, a (the) experience (s) professional (s) new discovery, a better experience abroad than the previous one.
I'm spoiled. If I'm not bilingual, it is obvious that my level of understanding has progressed well. I understand now more and more of the first or second shot. To practice the language, I'm not on top in the conversations, but progress is there.
For work, although I somehow plunged into teaching, I absolutely do not understand the work the same way. It's a whole other dimension, I like really, anyway.
Add to that the different forms of writing, some of which are progressing at a good pace, while others make their merry way, while others stagnate nicely. The environment of this magical city, a charming, with the appearance of villages in some respects and in some corners, there is not a stranger.

This raises the question dilemma: successful or not, an extension or not?
And if so, would it stop the end of the year?

Square Cupcake Linners

Students (Friday, 10 November 2006)

I've said too much more of my work, not that interesting but it is not working as a teacher. is less a discovery for me. Of course, I'm freelance, of course I teach with adults in business, but nevertheless, I live less than a history of crazy rolling balls of butter or serve Blueberry Mule a junkie 20 years at midnight. So I feel less surprising. Although ...

My students are all working adults currently in Orange . The first Iranian origin is marketing project manager, and its level is already impressive. Usually, of course, he studied and spent five years in Paris. As it frequently has to go, he wants to keep impeccable French. Another student, Korea, married to a French, is hyper Speedee and works with the former. For her, it is the result quickly. It seeks to use in her work she appprend. For these two, there is no question of trouble with grammar and exercises: we talk, I report some anomalies, they read newspaper articles (The World ) or articles from the Internet, I put in work situations (telephone calls, writing emails, ...). The boss's secretary
Orange UK also has an excellent level of French, and I work the same way. A younger student of mine is a beginner level cons. The challenge is more consistent and I really have to teach him the basics of French. Short sentences, vocabulary, some grammar anyway. I set myself a goal to give the asura in everyday situations. Although friendly, she suggested I eat at the cafeteria of Orange (yes, she is not married). The last student
Orangeman, pending further, is responsible for a team of twenty people in the tax area and must work with Parisians. He has already spent a year in France and its level is very good, but it is looking for grammar. Considering his needs, he is also interested in the construction of the language (Latin references, expressions, etymological origin, ...). What happiness!

Can I have some children in tutoring.
two adorable children. The first, a little girl of ten years, constantly smiling and motivated, is still a place becomes available at the French Lycée and is on a waiting list since September ...
The other, also ten years, following the English school, but his mother is Russian, French and dad. It So learn Russian, he also teaches guitar and with me two hours of French per week. And yet, despite a busy schedule, the kid is smiling, happy, playful, fun. A pleasure to teach a little bit like that.
Dad is also a nice guy, since he advised me at one of his colleagues in English Getty.images , to teach his boy of eight years. By first student relationship. A pleasure!

Then there are two children for whom I travel three hours every day ...

Museum (Monday, November 6, 2006)


Awesome! Not a penny to pay to see the great collections of British Museum (including Rosetta stone for me being the most prestigious), not a penny to walk several hours in the National Portrait Gallery , no Dinar into the hands of the state to see, review and further review the museum of Natural Sciences and learn science; no entry to the museum Greenwich, which recounts the saga of time, calculating time zones, positions ...
course, exhibits temporary right of entry. Of course, polls are enthroned in several places to push the visitor to act as its capabilities. If I abstained in August of leaving some pieces, I slid a modest contribution. It is understood that small private museums require a right of entrrée. But it seems very intelligent to make art, culture, science available to people.

Everything is not free of course and I will not paint a rosy picture of the situation and naive. I just wanted to point out that the great British museums are free, so crowded, because they grow back. I hope que cela rend les gens moins bêtes.

Trois fois au Science Museum, et je compte retourner au British Museum. Imaginez, visiter la Joconde gratuitement... l 'Atomium à disposition de tous autant que vous voulez... le MIM portes ouvertes...
On n'y est pas encore...
