It's hard to imagine that it's midway through December already. N graduates in less than two weeks and that our time in Fontainebleau is coming to an end. Sad face. We've been busy packing up but it still feels like we just got here!
I've been working full time for the last month. Between work and the 15 hours of commuting per week (which I have come to loath, LOATH!), it's left me a little low on spare time. On the positive side, I'm not spending any of the money I'm making.
The commute is driving me insane. I suppose it’s having the same effect on my fellow passengers, who, to be fair, have to do it every day, all the time. There are a lot delays which lead to exasperated sighs, eye rolling and mutterings of putain. One day last week I saw two pairs of strangers arguing about their spot in the metro. One argument each way. We’re packed in there like sardines...it hasn’t been pretty.
What is consoling is how beautiful Paris and Fontainebleau are in the winter. There are lights and Christmas decorations everywhere and it’s just so charming. Even our teeny tiny town feels very festive. What France lacks however, are candy canes (and peppermint lattes, cough). I learnt this while trying to bake a batch of Christmas cookies. N was at the wheel while we were on the lookout for anyone selling them. 6 stops, no dice.
The photo at the top is from the Galeries Lafayette, so pretty! I only had a few minutes to pop in, but rest assured, on my next day off there will be some money spending!
