I skipped posting Monday as I did not really have anything to add. It was the usual Monday. I did laundry, cleaned the house, got caught up on “life maintenance“. I made dinner which was shrimp scampi which was good. I guess I was in my Italian food period as Sunday was pasta with clam… Read More Backed to Posting
I have finally got back to a real routine. I think the visit by my friends and then having other people who I could spend time with disrupted my normal and expected routine here in Toulouse. I have/had an idea of what life was like for me in Toulouse. In my last two stays, I… Read More Finally back in a normal routine
The Salon Vins & Terroirs is held every year in Toulouse. It is an expo of wineries, distilleries, chocolate and other foods from France and elsewhere. It is held at the MEET expo center. I went last year and decided to go again this year. It cost 5 euros and you get a glass so… Read More Fun Day
Today was probably the worst weather day we have had since I arrived in Toulouse. I guess that makes me pretty lucky as I have been here about 5 weeks. It was overcast and blustery with unexpected rain squalls. I relied on the weather app and it said the rain was supposed to stop around… Read More A good routine
I have been thinking about this recently. This stay has been very different than my first two stays. It is has been a good different but definitely different. The previous two stays, I really did not meet anyone other than the Toulousians that I met through Run in Toulouse and the restaurants I eat at… Read More Different Stay in Toulouse this time.
I am finally returning to my “normal” Toulouse life. I did my usual Tuesday activities – go out for a walk, lunch out, run with Run in Toulouse in the evening and light dinner at home in the evening. When I got up in the morning, it was raining. We seem to be in a… Read More Back to normal Toulouse life
Thought it was catchy and sort of caught my mood. I woke up to a rainy, gloomy day and knew it was “life maintenance” day. I have always done house cleaning and laundry on Monday as most things are closed that day here in Toulouse. This led to a completely worthless day. I did clean… Read More Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
I decided I could have a slow day as I had did a lot of activities over the last couple of weeks. I did my “faire les courses” – my weekly shopping trip to the St. Aubin’s market, the Marchè Victor Hugo, got my chocolate croissant from Maison Pillon and a baguette. I tried a… Read More Slow Day
I had mentioned the Wine Festival to Nancy and Mike and we agreed to meet at 1;00 pm at the festival. We spent the afternoon tasting wine, learning a little bit about wine and eating charcuterie. The weather was beautiful so it was a fun day just to hang out and enjoy the festival. We… Read More Typical Toulouse Weekend Day
For most of the day I rested and caught up on rest and recovered from the on the go week with Jesse and Jen. It was a great week but we were on the go all the time. I needed a at home relaxing day. After returning to my normal routines, breakfast and lunch at… Read More An unexpected and fun day
