Et en mars...

En mars il faisait beau. It was warm and sunny and it has been glorious since my return to l'Ile de Beauté. I LOVE IT HERE.
I have even got slightly sunburned (well it was quite a lot actually) but that's meant to be a bad thing because it means I wasn't looking after my skin in the hot sunshine, but actually it's quite a good thing because it means that the weather was nice in MARCH.
I wore a dress to school today and I got a lot of comments: 'T'as pas froid??!' 'NOOOON!! J'ai pas froid, pas du tout. En fait, si on a une journée comme celle-ci en aout en Angleterre, on a de la chance!'
Merveilleuse.
On an aside, my kids were asking me how old I am today. I told them cinquante-cinq. They said:
'No Miss, you can't be 55, you're YOUNG!'
'Yes, she's young. 34?'

Haha. The Corsicans' perception of young is, I have to say, very different from the English perception. Parfois I like it, parfois it annoys me that I'm still seen as a kid.
Bref.
