Le Présentation - Disney and Decor

Just so you know I'm still alive, I'm going to do a quick intro to the family I'm with... There'll be another post soon enough with how my past week has gone and what has happened but as it stands, I had nothing to worry or be nervous about as everything is going really well! 

I look after two girls, Vi (4) and Al (3) - they're adorable handfuls! Both girls are obsessed with Disney - I can work with that! There's also an 8 month old baby boy, M, who is the calmest baby I've ever met! This little dude is so laid back and chill that he's almost horizontal. I rarely have look after him as he goes to the 'nou-nou' during the day.

The parents are really very nice and well organised which makes things a lot easier for me. The father's English is quite good, but the mother's not so much. I've never spoke so much French in my life. It's already come to the point that I think and dream in French - which is weird. But after less than a week being surrounded by the language, I've noticed a difference, I can understand people much better and I can think on my feet and respond a bit faster so it's great - I'm looking less and less like a confused, dumb blonde, standing there going 'uuummmm' 'uuuhhh' 'aaahh' 'merde'... Now I just need to stop using the same 20 verbs and increase my vocab somewhat!

Their house is completely amazing, I love my room and the decor in every other room. THEY HAVE A PIANO!! (This was a fabulous surprise that makes being away from home much easier.)

They live in a lovely location within walking distance from all the
main attractions and the station in Toulon. The beach here is fab and I had a lovely swim last Friday. The city was delighted with RCT's win in the Heineken Cup at the weekend - I love a good rugby city! 

On another note, I finally bought cereal and fresh milk today and had a good large cup of Lyon's Tea - it the little things!
