Is that the Sun i spot in the sky?!?!

Well we have had two days of glorious sunshine here in Bordeaux and i am almost tempted to believe that the weather is going to start picking up from here on in! Is this a possibility or just wishful thinking! Unfortunately i think it is probably the latter!

However, it is going to get better soon and i can't wait for it! Back to the way it used to be, Picnics in 'Jardin Public' again with the girls (minus the ridiculously expensive cheese this time), coffee outside a cafe soaking up the sun, eating tea outside at 8 o'clock, with no coat on!! Those were some of my best times in Bordeaux and i CANNOT wait for it to come around again.

Taking advantage of the wonderful weather yesterday, myself and Lisa(another English assistant) went and tested the newest addition to the city of Bordeaux the 'vCUB'. Thats right Bordeaux now has its very own set of bikes to rent scattered around the city. And i have to say it wasn't all that bad! If you forget about the fact that cycle lanes just tend to stop in the middle of the road and you are left to fight it out with the cars and the buses then it was a success. We had a wonderful cycle around Bordeaux, getting lost along the way but hey ho, that's all part of the experience. Right?! I also realised that i hadn't been on a bike in a rather long time...who said you never forget how to ride a bike? As i would beg to differ! Overall, a wonderful day spent though...

The sun is once again shining today and whilst i feel i should take advantage of this while i can, i am also rather aware of the fact that school is starting back up on Monday and (of course) i have no lesson plans prepared for my classes yet. So I'm thinking I'm just going to open the windows and let the sun shine in whilst i figure out what the hell I'm going to do with the little rascals. (granted, some aren't that little!)
