Commuting, films and postcards

[cerealjoe]

Today in France is mostly known as "la rentrée" which means that even though many came back to work earlier this week or will be coming back next week, quite a few were back today. I was one of those... Ah. The joys of work. For kids I'm not quite sure what the coming-back-to-school day is, for the "kids" (they're all 20-22 years old) that I may have the pleasure of teaching, or at least passing by in the hallway, that day is next Monday. Anywho. I discovered my commuting route. About 20 minutes of driving (a bit more coming back because the sun is face on and it's distracting), 34 minutes of train, 15-20 minutes of walking. The train ride is still rather awesome, after all not everyone gets to ride along the French Riviera every single work day! And in other news, it highly amuses me that when there is Mistral the planes have to make a detour to land and they actually pass close to the house. If I could just get dropped off right above it would save me that hour long trip to the airport!

BTW, carnifinda thank you so much for the card! Yay! Wheee! I got my film for the Photoswap! I dropped it off at the shop and now I just have to make it there before 6pm one of these days... The one I sent out has long since been developed, all the way in the UK, I should post some of the photos because they came out extremely well. And I finally got that film out of my dad's Zenith! About 10 years after the first shot on that film was taken! I really had to force it and that's why at first I was reluctant to even try to unload the film. Oh... and the brioche? It was just on the table next to the camera... and I like brioche!
