"They each have to kill a Gorilla"

A fun enough few weeks. Monsieur is back, but away again next week for Christmas shopping in London. Speaking of which, it's only 3 weeks tomorrow until I come home for Christmas!

Limoges continues to provide veritable ups and downs of excitement and happiness. Mostly ups I am glad to report. We had the "stage" training day last week which was fun, it was great to spend the day speaking to fellow under-40s for a change. We realised that there are a fair few more assistants in Limoges than we had once thought, and most of them are coming to Ansleigh and Alex's Thanksgiving feast on Saturday - I can't wait, their menu sounds amazing.

Spent last weekend in London for my Disney 2010 interview. Left Friday night and arrived at Monsieur's apartment late in the evening. Because of flight/class times I had to fly into East Midlands Airport, In Nottingham - then a train to Loughborough station, then a Train to the big smoke. Needless to say the bus was late, so I was late for the train (though still in plenty of time). Went to pick up my pre-paid £21 ticket, and of course the machine broke down. Train was about to leave, so I got on. Conductor calls round - £49 lighter after having to buy a new ticket... merde. This would never happen on SNCF.

So anyway, arrived into London and Monsieur's AMAZINGLY located flat in soho.
Nearest Tube: Piccadilly Circus.
Enough said.

So, interviewed at Disney HQ on Saturday morning, same presentation (which was still fun) as last year and then a 3ish hour gap until interview. A full breakfast was in order. It was mildly satisfying... Quick look around Harrods for a laugh too.

Back for Interview which went pretty well. Was interviewing with another alumni, so that made it a bit easier. Questions were perhaps a bit more direct this year, and moe about why we would want to come back. I feel I gave the answer she was looking for (not just for fun, but for experience etc.) and nothing went horribly wrong, so that can only be a good thing. Should be finding out within the next few days. This year, if it doesn't come to be I won't be too distraught - hey, I've been there and done that (forgot to buy the T-Shirt, damn.)

Got changed out of the old suit and went for a wee walk, and to see what the show situation was. Ended up buying tickets for the 39 steps, and met up with uncle Jamie to see it. Was bloody good- very very funny. Old fawlty towers style slapstick and English/Scottish bashing. Loved it.

Early departure the next day back to Limoges. Shared a taxi home with some Spanish lady going to a music workshop, as well as acting as French-English interpreter. The rest of the day I spent sleeping...

Work has been just fine. Lots of teachers off ill, and a strike on Tuesday (how French) so not too taxing. Helped in the planning of a trip to the snow next weekend with the whole gang - looking forward to that and this weekend's thanksgiving festivities.

Ciao!
