What have I been up to ?

Well I have been working really hard. The Language centre where I work, has suffered from the economic crisis but has also benefited !
The French government have been helping companies out by paying for workers to go on training courses to help alleviate salary payments, so there was suddenly an uptake for English lessons. Needless to say some days I find myself working long hours. There are days when I am up at 6am and leave the house at 6:45am and I don't get home until 9:30pm in the evening.
My stitching has suffered alot, as I can't easily do it at work when I am not actually teaching, plus there is often alot of preparation to do for classes, so I tend to read a book because it is easier to pick up and put down. As a result I haven't stitched since February, but I have read 104 books ! ! Good job my other passion is reading and since I joined the online book group goodreads I have become obsessed LOL.
It's almost the summer holidays though and I will hopefully get back into stitching then.

Ok have to finish now as it's 5:30am and I am off to work in an hour's time !

We have concerts all weekend. Two weeks ago were the concerts of my husband's and my students. This weekend my husband, in his superior wisdom, has decided to do two concerts with an entirely different programme each night ! !

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
