And - when I am in Austria, I like to watch my American shows in English (not that I watch TONS of TV mind you, but it sure is nice to hear something in your own language when you are surrounded by a different language). How do we do this? Go to www.ossat.com and our friend Peter can help you out. I hope it works for you as well as it does for us, because it does help me when I am so far away from home/my own language.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/><BR/>EvelynEvelyn aka Starfishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025353776081066815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-17119748070198308372007-05-08T09:55:00.000-04:002007-05-08T09:55:00.000-04:00I really love those threadies that you are making....I really love those threadies that you are making.

The boulangerie's are open every day, bread being a staple part of the French diet. However, on Monday's most shops are closed in the morning, sometimes all day, but the big shops/supermarkets are open. Lorries are not allowed to drive on Sunday's, except refrigerated ones, so that is why most shops are closed on Monday. If you are worried about running out of baguettes, Monoprix should have in the bakery section half cooked baguettes in thermatically sealed bags. Pop in the oven for the required time and they are delish! You can freeze them too.<BR/><BR/>DH loves your Egyptian stuff - reminds him of his time in Cairo many moons ago.<BR/><BR/>I have been told there is a English bookshop, Shakespeare & Company, somewhere in the centre.

Also, pretty well every district has a food market that's open on Sunday.

I had two kitties a long time ago & had them spayed at the same time. They hissed & carried on to each other also. The vet says they blame each other for their predicament. So, yours probably blame each other for the move across the world.

I've got my book on order already and the movie date set for vacation so we can see it the first day! Has he ever listened to the books on CD? They are what I "read/listen" to while quilting.
