Strike, Strike, Go Away
Another one today. If only I understood it all, but I don't. Now there's a gas shortage because the strikers are holding the petrol hostage in tankers off Marseille. If we make it out of here Friday morning and make it up to Stephan & Laure's wedding in Nantes this wkend, it may just take a miracle.
Meanwhile:
No this is not child labor in strike aftermath. 2 Saturdays ago we had a little soirée with 2 1/2 other couples and a total of 7 kids. Estelle's room got pretty wild.
Eliott hung tough as the lone boy amidst 6 girls.
Estelle enjoys a bath, making Irish soda bread with me one morning....
A visit from my friend Chantal...
Socca with 2 retired teachers from Hazen High school, colleagues of my brother Wes.
Playing PlayMobil with Pierre.
Supposedly we'll be getting on a plane Friday morning......if there's not a strike....

Julie, sorry to hear about yet another strike! Did you have to put the girls in daycare, so that you could teach? Hope you get safely to the wedding! Estelle's brown eye are beautiful, even though you always pine for blue! Does this blog mean that you have a new laptop?
We have been following the strike from over here. I think the vote is on Thursday and it sounds like the raising of the retirement age will go through. Wonder if then the strikers will give up and live will return to normal.
I've been wondering about your computer too.
Despite the strikes, looks like you guys are having a good time. Hope all goes well for the wedding.
Estelle's hair is so long. Heather is jealous.
So great that you have a new computer! My sup rented computers for all the teachers so let's Skype soon!
xo La
