I started my dissertation today. My tutor had given me a list of libraries that would be useful and I had intended to spend the last month or so in Paris doing the research. School boy error. People have been telling me for months that August would be calm at work, that everyone leaves Paris and that businesses just close for the month. I ( Read more... )

Best wishes with your dissertation!

As for fitness, I feel out of shape returning the gym if I even skip a single workout or two. Also, the weather here has gotten so hot that I don't know what I'll do, as I can't really jog outside, and the swimming pool is closed for a competition!

Wish you the best with that one too. Think it'll be good to have some regular exercise while working on your dissertation; it provides some time away from work. I recommend always making time for some exercise, even in the busiest times. It helps greatly, I think.

It's not plagiarism if you can get hold of every copy of the original and burn them ;)

Ah you see I buy American bread and spread creme fraiche all over it.

In the absence of anything else, I'm going to have it for dinner tonight.

Bon chance avec la dissertation.

Oh my god Paul. No journal action for ages and then a post on both journals at once :o)

So, obviously I'll say good luck with the dissertation.

Creme fraiche on toast? I've never tried that but it's tempting. I get the Tesco healthy eating creme fraiche so I wonder if it's just as good.

Thanks.

You'll need thick creme fraiche and the best thing to do is to toast the bread then leave it to cool slightly before spreading it on (it's not as good if it all melts into the bread and goes soggy).

I'll reply to your other comment too.
