6 Legs Good 4 Legs Bad

At times it certainly feels like Animal Farm here, and with three children under the age of two and a half, we often have the odours which could be described as agricultural (I am sure Maxime has hidden a dirty nappy somewhere in the pantry but for the life of her, Sandie can’t find it). However I would have to say that overall it’s been a good week. The announcement of my new role was obviously the big event, but the week ended on a high note when I got back from Zurich. On Friday morning I received the two new pairs of suit trousers I had ordered. Unfortunately rather than being one blue and one grey, I had received two blue trousers by mistake. When I rang the tailor in Paris she accepted that she had made a mistake (already making me question whether or not she was really Parisian), and promptly said that she’d check up on the grey trousers and send them on in due course. I asked if she wanted me to send the second blue pair back, but she said no because I would clearly get more benefit from them than her. A nice surprise indeed!
