hello hello
...it's been a long time and a lot has happened. To try and re-hash it all would be boring for everyone, so let's start fresh.
I'm in France, being the friend in resident at the Quaker Meeting house in Congenies. What's a quaker and why am I hanging out with them? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quakers There you go.
Right. So I'm living in this gorgeous tiny town in the south of France. I sunbathed yesterday and today. Full on sunbathed. It's November. I love this place.
In other (very important) news, I am making olives. On Sunday we picked the olives (there are 3 trees on the Maison's property), and put them in 2 separate piles: those olives that are bad (riddled with worms) and those that are not-so-bad (only half riddled with worms). We took the bad ones to an olive mill (moulin d'olive) today in exchange for a future 2 liters of olive oil. The not-so-bad ones... the "good" ones, we'll call them... I'm processing to turn into delicious green edible olives! This involves soaking them in water and changing the water every day for around 20 days. Heavy work, but hopefully worth it.
So here's some photos of the olives, they are so pretty that I had to post a few different pictures. Also, I'm posting a series of my "nightime" friends from here in Congenies.
Big Love everyone!

Hello there!
Welcome back - I'm glad you posted a new message with some pictures. Guess what? I'm going to be in London and Paris in March. Are you still going to be in Europe then? If so, wouldn't it be neat if we could meet up.
Take care.
