Hellooo, sorry about the complete lack of posts on here but I've been on the internet twice whilst being here and people have been peering over my shoulder both times haha. So far, everything is going really well, the family are really nice and are being very understanding with regards to my terrible French. The two kids Marie and Matthieu are both really well behaved luckily so I haven't had any problems in that department!
The place I'm staying in is very... rural, shall we say. There is a bus stop just outside of the house but I think the bus comes about twice a week. I saw it for the first time today which probably says something... Other than that though; the house is nice and about 200 metres away from the house is the house that their grandparents live in and they have a big swimming pool. Basically all weve done since I got here is sunbathe by the pool and sunbathe by the sea. Can't complain!!
Marie had her 13th birthday party yesterday, and of course I had to supervise it. Ten thirteen year olds... in a swimming pool. I got pushed in the swimming pool by one of the boys, typical, haha. It went quite smoothly though, with only one person crying (Matthieu, he got pushed in the pool) so all was well.
They took me out for a meal last night to celebrate passing my exams. I had lobster... when in Rome and all that... Had a good laugh with Pierre-Marie and Anne-Gael on the way back in the car as they were both trying to sing along to English songs. I had to explain every line they didn't understand lol. Also, there appears to be no rules regarding drinking and driving in France?! Same goes for using mobiles whilst driving and smoking in public places... PM and AG do all of these things.
Apparently PM is taking me out driving on Saturday which should be an event in itself. Anyway, have to go... I'm going to the swimming pool again haha

P.S I apologise for typos but this is a French keyboard... gah
