So after the exclamations on Twitter yesterday, everyone in the South East of the UK was exclaiming “It’s Snowing!” and “Snow, that’ll be the trains f**ked!” or words to those effects, it made me realise that I would soon see the white stuff myself.

I’ve always liked snow, it takes me back to the rare times of my youth when the snow fell and actually stayed.  What I don’t like about the snow is the way everything grinds to a halt because of it.

This morning the future Mrs Scotsdreamer woke me exclaiming “Il neige!” but it was light and melting immediately.  she then said slightly disappointedly that it wouldn’t stay.

20 minutes later and looking out the window there was the definate beginnings of stretches of white…

So as readers may be aware I hate Parisian public transport, but today it was amazing.  The Metro was crammed, not even enough room to play sardines.  The bus was busy and full. and I left the house late and got to work on time!

This has to be a first, I remember a time in Birmingham there was a little snow and ice and a 45 minute bus journey took 4 hours (admittedly it was uphill), in the South East when it snows traffic stops and trains can’t go on the tracks as it’s the wrong sort of snow (or some other lame excuse).

It appears that the mindset of the Parisians havent even thought about the american term “Snow Day”

Bliss!

I am just a little disappointed that I am going to have to spend the day inside though… but in 5 days I’ll be out of the office, so maybe, just maybe I’ll get the chance to make a snowman…

…but fruit flies like a banana!

I’ve just noticed that it has been almost a month since I last wrote a post…

Shame on me…

Well, apart from starting to panic about the wedding preparations, things have been quiet on the Scotsdreamer front.

Since I am now looking for a new job, I have had the pleasure of revising my CV so that it fits into the French market.  From what used to be a well written robust 2 page CV I have had to do some severe truncating (and font size reduction) so that it fits onto one page.  I will not however include a photo!

So hopefully with my new CV I will start getting some nibbles and shouldn’t be out of a job for too long.  Either way I intend to take some French lessons during the evening from January and my greatest concern is not being able to speak during an interview…

Speaking of which I have one tonight which I hope will go ok.  I believe it will concentrate on my particular specialisations – professional not personal, so should go quite well.

I’ve also been getting ready for the time of year where you are expected to spend money on presents that nobody, even yourself, would want at any other time of the year.  I have so far spent a whopping €0.00 on presents! but I do have 3 gifts left to get. one for Belle Mamman, My mother and the Future Mrs Scotsdreamer…

Perhaps they will be happy with some of my origami?!?

Anyway this is just really a placefiller and I will be looking to post something more detailed later this week…
