Happy new year! I'm back in Narbonne. Aston and I went to Paris for the weekend, so we were there for new years but really we were there so he could get his plane home to Van. So he is somewhere in the air over the Atlantic as we speak and I'm freezing in my drafty old apartment. Our time together was so good though, and we'll keep on going til I return in 6 months time.
In my French accent improvement news, I was mistaken for French, then German today til I finally explained I was English Canadian. It's good to know I'm not wasting my time here. You have to add the English bit as the Quebec accent is so well known, people don't believe you're really Canadian when you speak French without having that accent.
