I've been watching back my blog and i've realised that it will be one year i'm blogging with blogspot, and i'm not getting bored of this new habit. My mother keeps on telling me, 'beware, they will know everything and might used it against you, they will know what you buy, who you are talking to and so on'. I'm not sure i'm worthy enough for people to lose their time in spying me !! lol !!
I've been noticing an other thing: by watching my blog you might think it's a lost town, empty, and so calm ! It's true if you compare Bordeaux to Paris, and if you are visiting Bordeaux a late Sunday in the month. But most of the time people are all around me, in a stuffy way, that is the reason why i'm looking for some calm points of view, and because i love nature. You have to know : Bordeaux has 230000 people living in it's wall and more than 100 000 more should be settled in 2010 or so do the studies say. No doubts : there will be some other general strike in the futur as the recent government keeps on digging the gap between rich and poor people.
We are full of people, in the city center trying to look like a little Paris with it's brand new tramway, the longuest european pedestrian street (1.2 km) . We have also a very popular football team... My boyfriend like them a lot of course, he is a football fan. The first sport for the boys is the football in France, and then comes the Rugby and the Cycling.
My work office is like a beehive, where i receive most of the news i have to give back to the other people of the company. I'm working with 10 girls around in the same room, and i have to talk to many people everyday (more than 100 per day). It's difficult to find some rest and some silence. I am hardly alone, for i live with someone and because of the way we live in a metropolis, rich of experience but difficult if you wish a solitude. That is quite a paradoxal situation as it's also in such metropolis that we can find to most people abandoned and lonely and they didn't choose it !

the question is : "who are 'they' as your mother says" ^^
i'm sure bordeau is a great place, but i'd rather see the town a quiet day (I know it's sad but I can't bear places full of world).
For comparison Gynie, the population of Kitchener, where I live, according to the 2006 census was 204,668 so we appear to live in similar sized towns.
As for people knowing about me, I don't care who knows what, but there is the risk of identity theft which is why one should be a bit careful.
I am not going to give the population of Paris ... mais voila ...
It is true that whoever wants to can today find out a lot of information about people on the Web. You will know Ginny that our government is forever warning us about this. BUT, I thought that you were a married woman with children, but you speak of your boyfriend, so you can tell your mother that not ALL about you is known.
I forgot to say: I am a groupie of the rugby club of Toulouse. And do you know why? Because of David Skrela!
And you're how old Marilyn????
I am carefull, but just as much as in the street, the thing is that my mum does always dramatize when talking about anything ^^
For me it works all the same : i'm not going to walk alone at 3 am in a little street around hot points, with a little skirt and some high tail shoes !
now you are all increasing my new born paranoia ! lol
cédric i hope you will visit us as soon as we are ready in our new flat !
I hope I will also be invited to visit if I ever make it to France again. A pretty remote possibility I might add.
Jo, one is never too old --- or too young!
cool Jo ^^ i'd be delighted to have a cooker at home for a while but let me get the key first ^^
