I got up as usual and headed out to do my weekly farmer market shopping. I am getting a little more comfortable and so have branched out at some of the shopping. I tried out a couple of new fruit and vegetable stands. I feel like my shopping French is getting good enough that I… Read More Palm Sunday
I went to the Victor Hugo market for some quick shopping. Needed a baguette and some Jambon de Bodega so I could make lunch. After the shopping, I made lunch and decided to have a picnic on the side of the Canal de Brienne. I chose that location as it was windy again and I… Read More Pretty Normal Day
The weather is really beautiful right now. Not sure it will stay that way as the long term weather forecast on my phone says it is to get cooler and rainy towards the weekend. Right now it is in the 70s and sunny. I am not the only one taking advantage of the weather as… Read More Enjoying early spring in Toulouse
On Tuesdays, I usually have a big lunch so that I do not have to cook dinner after running with the Run in Toulouse group. I had found Restaurant Gascon, I have mentioned it before as I joke that I feel at times I am eating at a retirement home when I go there as… Read More Some things always surprise me
I did my usual routine of going to the Saint Aubin’s farmers market in the morning. It is alway pretty busy with a very eclectic group of people. The combination of hipsters, older people, young families and other always gives it a good atmosphere. It is also fun to see people run into their friends… Read More Sundays are always active but fun
The day started out as normal. I got up and had breakfast. I, then, had to do some shopping. I needed some things for lunch and breakfast. I walked over to the Victor Hugo market to get what I needed. On the walk over I noticed, that Friday morning seems to be the day when… Read More A surprising day
I did some cleaning of the apartment in the morning. Figured it need to keep to a good cleaning routine as all the floors are white tile and any little bit of dirt I bring in on my shoes shows up. It is very different than the wood floors and rugs of my house but… Read More Backed to normal routine
When I was leaving Toulouse last fall, the Aeroport bus went by what looked like an outdoor farmers market. I have never seen the market before that day. Last week, I had intended to go and search for the market. I got involved in other things and did not look for the market. Today, I… Read More Exploring and widening boundaries
Since I only brought a limited amount of clothes, I have to do laundry every Monday which is not a hardship. Since the washing machine is small, it actually makes a great deal of sense to do laundry once a week. Also, since there is no dryer and everything has to air dry, I have… Read More Monday’s are life maintenance days, plus some fun
I have always hated to be routine and fall into a pattern but Sundays definitely have become both of those. St. Aubin’s farmers market is Sunday morning and closes at 12:30 pm so I have to go earlier in the morning since I go to Church at 12:00 pm. I love the market as it… Read More Sundays are always busy
