This is the 4th week since I arrived.
Monday morning, I open the door and stepped into a freezer, or that's what it felt like, as autumn suddenly froze my skin, flesh and bones. I arrived here with only a suitcase of clothes, it was sunny and warm, so I didn't prepare for the cold. Today a colleague told me to buy some jumpers, he also said I should wash the one I have been wearing for over a week. I know he makes sense, however I am hoping I can last out (not I might add the whole winter) till Friday. This could be an exciting day not only will I receive some warm clothes, but a whole kitchen set. My kitchen is currently very empty except for a few sauce pans, coffee cups and saucers, the later of which are acting as substitutes for plates. Cutlery is for picnics and I have 6 pieces.
I have started to explore and familiarise myself with parts of Paris. I've started living my French lifestyle, and will be telling you about how I get on in these forthcoming blogs.
