Ahh speaking French for the first time in over a year hurts my head! As does trying to type on a French layout keyboard. Spent my first evening here in someones garage playing drums for a friends band. Haven°t drummed in anger for 3 years or more and getting back into it in 30 degree heat with a band that errs towards 20 minute versions of every song they play is an interesting way to get very dehydrated.
Other than that I have seen my sick friend which is why I°m really here and have drunk pastis and ice cold rosé wine to excess with other friends which is never bad.
And now I can speak French again. I think the secret is that they keep it in the bottles. They should hand it out at the airport then all the dodgy English tourists would be fluent.
