Talking Checking in££££- my wings are very tired

Hi Everybody,
I'm sitting in a student lab on a computer!!! It's very slow, and the keyboard is very diferent, but I will navigate anything to type a few lines.

Our flight was uneventful: those are sometimes the best types. We got our EasyCar and got to Rouen in early evening. The weather is fantastic! We are living in a student apartment, and it's huge and very clean! But no tv and no phone and no internet! I will have to "wing it" a bit, although I may be able to go to DH,s office: on the fourth floor --- do not have a key for the elevator.

This is sort of like days as a student--- just starting out with nothing. But the apt has a bedroom, kitchen, large study room with two huge tables for studying, a (empty) utility room, several closets, and a bathroom with tiny shower--- more than I had hoped for! The only thing is, our host is worried our tires may be stolen, so we had to get locking lugnuts and will try to install those. C'est la vie!

Hoping to go tomorrow to Riems for the weekend to visit our neighbors who are in Germany for a few years. It will be nice to see them and maybe tour the champagne plants... a taste would be nice too.

Will close now to see if anyone is here and will reply before I sign off. Missing you!

Hi Vicky,
No problemo! If DH drives, or our neighbor~~~~~ well, now that I'm nearly off my pain meds, I don't have to be so careful about that sort of stuff. I really do have to find time to try out that French course~~~it can make all the difference (say that with a French accent, please).

These keyboards are so different from ours! I really do have to look while I type!

Wing~

Pleasantly surprised to see you posting so soon! Maybe waiting through this month for you to get back won't be so bad after all. I hope you'll continue to find opportunities to post.

I just realized that I should've been in recovery by now The sun's finally decided to show itself around here....maybe I'll find some trouble to get into to take my mind off of what could've been. Still no word about a new date.

I hope you're enjoying your stay and will continue to do so. Keep your eyes on those tires!! That would drive me crazy! Do you have heated towel rods there? I read somewhere that they do.

Until your next post, Take Care and Be Safe!!

Love,

~Teri

Winged,
How wonderful to hear from you so soon! I am glad to hear that you have arrived safe and sound.
You may get a little tipsy, because I would like you to have a sip for me also.I believe that my naturally green eyes are slightly more green with jealousy at present. How I wish I was there with you.
Have a wonderful time, looking forward to hearing of your adventures.
Mel
