Qu'est-ce qui se passe?
I've received quite a few questions lately about what is going on over here, so I'll take the opportunity to clarify...
My first year in Paris is up, my original contract expired, suddenly I have hours of free time during daylight... Oh dear, sounds like I'm unemployed! But don't worry, an unpaid holiday between jobs is closer to the truth.
Since Alex has only reasonably recently arrived, we thought it silly if I upped and left straight away, so I have accepted another one year contract at the University of Southern Paris. It is a pretty similar position to the one that I had last year, just new lab, new boss, new project. I don't know too much about it yet, but it sounds really good and my new boss seems very nice, so it should be a good year I hope. It is in a lab that I applied to before I came to Paris in the first place, and at that time they didn't have a position for me, but they contacted me before I even knew if I was going to stay around a bit longer and offered me a position for this year! After initially telling them I didn't know whether I was interested in staying, when Alex got his contract, I accepted.
So it is another year, starting in November.
After that, you ask? Feel free to post your suggestions because I have no idea!

I have a suggestion - move to Marbella, hang with ex-pats, collect your pension from home and drink plenty. In fact, I'll join you. Or maybe I speak too much Spanish for that to be appropriate?
Did you have the pizza after I left?
Did you know that the next 3 blogs after your are in Portugese? Odd, huh?

I say stay on and earn more money for the sole purpose of buying train fairs (or airfaires if you want to be lavish) to England for weekends with the Flitcrofts!
Well, the presidential elections are in 2007, and that would probably pay well enough for train fares to England... But on the other hand, drinking in Marbella also sounds good and I think I will be eligible for quite a bit of unemployment money from friendly socialist France...
Annika- no, I thought I had better try one more menu del dia and had a really delicious bechamel sauce covered stuffed chillies, and some sort of pork in a little restaurant. It was lucky because we had pizza the night I got back to Paris!
