Stranded at the Ball

Saturday is a good day nowadays. Started off with the obligatory morning market session and bought food for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, then met up with Libby and her boyfriend for a quick coffee, was really lovely to meet him, he seemed very nice. Next, a trip to the boulangerie (baguette, an apple pastry). At 4 o'clock, Laura and I met Julie (literally the coolest, most fashionable person I've met in Le Puy) for a quick tea. Had a darjeeling, reminded me of going for tea with Laura in Curiositea. Cannot wait to be reunited with that place in final year! Came home and managed to do a bit of my essay (yes, progress at last!) before heading off to the traditional ball with Hati, Dom and my responsable Maryline. This ball was not so successful. The picture shows some of the bizarre instruments used by the band, who did an hour and a half performance before the dancing even began! I would describe their sound as something associated with being stoned, used only in The Mighty Boosh, very very weird! After a quick dance we were pretty much ready to go but Maryline had left us there in order to take her son home... her friend eventually dropped us off, but by then we were very much ready to leave!
