Weekend

It seems that my main job will be applying the fungicide to the newly-cut stems.
It's not the most exciting task but at least I get to be out in the fresh air.
Moreover, the weather was stunning today and it's hard to believe it's winter now!
I spent the morning applying the fungicide (or faire le bleu as it is called) but I spent the afternoon preparing for a wine tasting this weekend.
I had to take samples from each barrel and store them in a small bottle.
In fact, I had to take two samples from each barrel as the earlier samples which were supposed to be analysed were not analysed in the laboratory. So, we had to send another batch of samples to the lab!

I had the poulet Basquaise for lunch today which was quite disappointing. I was expecting it to be quite peppery or spicy but in my opinion, it tasted just like chicken in tomato sauce. At least I had brought a jar of rillette to have with my baguette and this was delicious.

This week has gone extremely quickly and I am pleased with the progress I've made with regards to my french-speaking. I have to admit that it was quite tiring to have to speak french all the time because I was translating everything that was said to me into english and then translating an english reply into french.
However, after a week, I have gotten into a state of mind where I think in french when I'm speaking french and so my spoken french has become more fluent and I'm more confident when I speak.

Now for some golf!!
