<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Something I've found really surprising since France is how the size of the populations differs. The English are significantly and obviously larger than the French. Obviously I haven't done a study into this or anything and I was only in one part of France but simply considering that the two areas are so close, have similar agriculture, similar levels of poverty and similar populations (I think) do make it surprising that I've so clearly noticed a difference in body size. Its 'easy' for me, I've inherited the skinny gene (allowing me to wear skinny jeans.......</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> terrible joke I know!) and I've often defended obesity due to poverty, in Hartlepool and England it is often a sign of poverty - its a lot cheaper to live, eating fast, fatty foods and for a lot of people it isn't really a choice. Where I stayed in Rennes isn't a posh area however, I believe its very comparable to Hartlepool but the fast, fatty food isn't the cheap stuff, people aren't always eating, their lives don't seem to revolve so much around foods. Cycling and walking is more prevalent there, the roads are safer and planned for cyclists.... We've become accustomed to seeing people of a certain size here in England - and its not a healthy size, I'm biased but being overweight carries significant health consequences - I can't stress that enough and with that comes massive additional costs, to many aspects of the NHS - a company struggling tremendously already. I think a lot of the 'issue' is an attitude one, everyone knows the French have amazing, delicious food - I ate fabulously there. We didn't have tea breaks with biscuits every few hours, we ate a lot of bread - the fast food there. The hospital diet in France wasn't chips and there was fish a few times every week, the patients ate the fruit provided and puddings were fruit compote. The patients didn't have sweets and chocolates from their families piled up - their attitude to foods is very different... Do I think the UK Government are doing enough? Just something to think about... or I suppose maybe they're all just thin because they smoke a lot more...</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12617333177801206365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401603953653653819.post-4094284854206390732014-08-12T02:29:00.004-07:002014-08-12T02:29:49.228-07:00#60 - Monday 11th<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /><br /><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tom to work and some time to feed the crochet obsession - one 'sock' made! Spent the morning as a housewife in training, I did a little hoovering/ironing/cleaning/tidying/washing... (hope you're reading this Mum!). I also watched a day long special of Homes Under the Hammer - who knew that was such a great programme. Jeremy Kyle however has reached new lows, don't get me started!<br /><br />Early lunch and I tried to suggest an afternoon out to the girls... well there was some lack of enthusiasm to say the least! Kat and I returned to Teeside park, stopping in Hobby Craft for yet more wool.... and a visit to Morrison's to get some ingredients for a vegan chocolate raspberry cake. Realized I still wasn't completely readjusted to normal life after Orkney, Morrisons was far too crowded and it all got a bit much for me. <br /><br />Sunday dinner (chicken, roasties, roast parsnips and carrots, some pretty out-of-date curly kale, broccoli, mash and some questionable gravy, veggie pie for me!) Delicious if I do say so myself... team effort really with me disappearing for a while to get Tom...<br /><br />Corinne popped around, with some beautiful bright flowers - lovely to see her for a cuppa tea.... forgot the cocoa powder for the cake.... and forgot I'd promised to take Tom to footy! Whoops, home and time for bath and baking... but Kevin Macloud and Grand designs were calling instead.... Kat and I sat knitting & crocheting again! Green hat for Dave finished and Kat's made two monkey arms, a banana, and a leg - how she does it I don't know! Time for some crackers and cheese before bed....</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12617333177801206365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401603953653653819.post-34322373134201255142014-08-12T02:16:00.002-07:002014-08-12T02:16:44.968-07:00#58 - Saturday 9th<div style="text-align: center;">

I think the blog of a final year medical student might be quite entertaining...<br /><br />Breakfast... thankfully Gran found some vegetarian strawberries for breakfast - what do vegetarians eat for breakfast? Lazy morning, caught up on the great British bake off and spoke to Dad's family. Lovely morning with all the girls in the family. Lunch, Aunty G arriving just in time for Gran's chips... still veggie! <br /><br />Home early afternoon and after a few hours unpacked... washing started, all spoke to M&D... Kat and I tootled off to Tesco, really struggling at first, circling aimlessly! Spicy 'Meatball' (Quorn) pasta.... with the craziest pasta (it looked like we were cooking an octopus!) Spoke to Sarah down in Cornwall - so nice to catch up with her - it feels like its been ages... in South Africa she's been cage shark diving, doing art with the locals - sounds amazing. I spent the evening sticking lots of bits into my scrapbook and fell fast asleep - two months of traveling has certainly caught up with me!

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">What an English Sunday... Aunty B and I set off exploring to Teeside park, Marks & Sparks fruit only. People weren't so accommodating with the wheelchair which was a little annoying but we managed to balance skyscraper high fruit boxes and a baguette.. back to the car before half eleven ("not doing too bad.."). Typical Acey speed shopping! Had a slight not-driving-so great moment, but Aunty B was adamant he snook up too quick... Through the pouring rain we drove to Seaton for fish and chips, the weather was so bad, Aunty B couldn't see the sea - about ten metres away and she couldn't believe the price, £22 for all five of us. </span></span></span><br />

Had my 'exam', I remembered to make some french notes, so I spoke them through in French with the doctor... she seemed impressed, we then went to see the patient... "Sarah..." ?"what?"<br /><br />"Bonjour.... ca va?" The patient was adorable and looking a lot more well than yesterday, "ouiii.... ca vaaaaa." <br />"Avez-vous mal?" ... "nonnnn...."<br />"non?"... "non..."<br />"mal a venre? a dou?"..... "non..." She was great just smiling and nodding to me. I examined her and we looked though her blood results... pass! She signed my form (giving me a nice report) and as I left even gave me her email and phone number... in case I visit again... well who knew, maybe she did like me!<br /><br />An hour and a half to shop, clean, pack, eat... deja vu? Last galette and a trip to the boulangerie (she still didn't know what I was asking!) pain au chocolat and a fabulous raspberry tart... which somehow made it through the airport and security without too much squishage! Bye to Phoebe... Anne's mum took me to the airport, she said my French was a bit better... and she stayed with me until I reached security. Plane journey - had a lovely chat in English to a young boy traveling to Scotland to play in a pipe band at Tattoo. English border control was very intimidating...very sad its become that way. Everyone looking very English, pale and moody.... Southampton airport wasn't great but I finished crocheting a scarf and started a hat. Some awful Americans at Costa... started swearing at the man serving them, their paninis weren't ready and they were boarding... well I should had said something... I still can't believe how rude they were. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br />Not too much to say today, a day a la Tauvrais again... I took in my written differences between geriatrics/medicine in both England and France... the doctor seemed to like them! In a quiet moment a few of the new medical students spoke to me & I knew what they were asking, great, great for my second last day! Speaking to them a bit more, they were disappointed I hadn't seen Rennes' nightlife..(parce que tout seule)... Rennes is famous for drinking... (I told them the north-east too). Before I left they invited and arranged a night out for me! I had to hand around all afternoon to see a patient, who I'd be examined on, on Friday... so long for a last afternoon off! (I did make sure I could have Friday afty off - my plane was at 4pm).<br /><br />An hour and a half to pack, clean and eat dinner (all the left overs) before meeting the medical students. Last ride on the Velo Star bikes and I arrived on time, with no getting lost. Even had a few moments to read my letter from Parul, stood in St Anne's Square. Eventually myself and three male medical students found a bar and each ordered a beer (mine was ordered for me, thankfully!) and I managed to speak in French (a little English) but we could converse and it worked, I worked - it was great. Watching the smaller square, with wooden clad houses slowly get darker was just an incredible way to end my time in Rennes. Two girls joined us during the evening, well girls talk a lot faster and a lot more than the boys. One laughed at my French and smoked seven cigarettes in a couple of hours. One of the guys plan is to be a laboratory doctor I think and combine this with a restaurant... take the bloods as they wait for food... we decided it was a unique idea! I didn't try the 'vegetarian kebab!'... and myself and the boys ended the night, stood beside the phenomenal parliament building talking about the English drinking tea, good for your health... and garlic good for your health in France. Apparently my fringe is very English, who knew...! (Not sure they believed me... "I was the first...")!</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12617333177801206365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401603953653653819.post-12986526401693315022014-08-10T01:36:00.001-07:002014-08-10T01:41:48.794-07:00#55 - Mercredi 6th<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Paris, beautiful city despite the continuous rain! Spent my day walking through the city, beautiful buildings everywhere. My highlight was l'orangerie, an art gallery showing Monet's waterlilies, eight huge paintings in two ovular rooms, absolutely incredible. A picture speaks a thousand words and all... so here are a good few pictures!<br /><br />Arriving home to the tragic news that Aidan and Neil, two medical students in my year at Newcastle have died in Borneo. I met Neil this last year and can't imagine how difficult it must be for close family and friends. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Woke up at 1am with really painful stomach ache...quite scary being alone in a foreign country in the dark, thinking of the worst-case senario.... after about 45 minutes it eased and I dropped off to sleep again. Waking up with my alarm, not pleased about having to get up, snoozed a few times.... leaving no time to eat my breakfast and get out of the house!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lets just say for one reason or another, maybe I forgot them... but maybe... just maybe I lost them/had them purposefully stolen (I highly doubt that) but I spent my morning visiting pharmacies, which only open at 9am.... when I'm supposed to start... clutching my handwritten french note I visited three with no luck before deciding at 9:45 I really ought to show my face in hospital. Regretted it immediately... great way to introduce yourself to ten french people... as the english one with a pharmacy problem! The demented lady thanked me enthusiastically for my message and I left again... feeling pretty fed up, still a bit sick and very homesick... someone I think said something nice to me in French but I don't know and ignored him... I feel bad now but my eyes were a bit teary! Next pharmacy thankfully could help, she was very excited about my 'ordonannce anglais'! I guess I am about French things too... Pharmacies are big businesses here - very nice layouts but lots of vitamins and herbal tea looking things... even cat medicines.... I assume there are so many, so large and so nice because in France, even the elderly pay for their medications (& they're not so cheap!).</span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ward round again, one of the medical students spoke to me - so happy - but I didn't understand him.... terrible. I escaped for lunch </span></span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(was told off/told to use a tray in the dining room... at least I understood!</span></span>) before clinic 20miles south of Rennes.....the doctor has to travel there as the old geriatrician who did the memory clinics had moved to Australia! She's very nice, very young to be a 'consultant' equivalent in France. Two patients, the one for the assessment's wife spoke alot and 'trop vite' - too fast... she did ask me afterwards did I understand much? "a little...", she admitted she speaks fast.... "a little..." "je suis desole!" </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Home at five, sat in the park and wrote differences in healthcare here and at home. Phoebe sick again, visited the shop for some picnic items before Paris tomorrow! & some pressies too.... Courgette curry take two... crepes (experimental), chat to Gran and the girls & final Paris plans!! I've got my 'sac banane' ready....</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quick run down of French/English medical schools/training:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">England. 5 years at uni, graduate as doctor, junior doctor for two years (6 varied jobs), then choose a specialty and begin GP rotations, or core medical/surgical training... you will later take entry exams to secure a job/training job to become a consultant... I think this takes 5-7+ years (?3 to be a GP)....</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">France. 6 years at university, graduate (not a docteur), choose your specialty to work in, work as an interne (like a junior doctor) for three years, taking jobs relevant to your future specialism, you are then a 'chef du service' in your specialty - like a consultant I think. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Too lazy to go to the shop for bread and make lunch today so had to buy a packaged one on the way... today was the day of medical students! First there were deux, then trois, quatre... cinq... six, sept...huit... et moi (neuf etudients en medicine). Beaucoup des etudients! Hand over meeting with eleven of us and only five medical students (they're split across the wards), I managed to introduce myself without it being too awkward. Long morning, nice to see some new patients... had a chat to one of the medical students too - amazing, I knew what he was asking and could reply!! I didn't dare speak to him again later... but I will try again this week. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bang! I went to help a patient, she'd dropped a plastic tub and was trying to get to the loo... I helped as much as possible and ended up getting a nurse (in French)... I was so scared she'd fall. Unfortunately a man I'd seen on Friday had died, I guess it was to be expected he had a serious diagnosis. One man is always tootling up and down with his zimmer, as soon as he spots us watching he goes back in him room... and over and over again!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lunchtime... spoke a little french.... understood some. We laughed as one of the docs had left the chocolate in her fridge at home... it was funny but the other doc was laughing a bit too much - it was odd, she was laughing because I understood and I got a bit confused.Big handover with all the MDT team... lost a little bit in the middle, it is so hard to stay awake. Did a little work with my trusty Oxford Clinical handbook - which the doc says she loves, she knows how good it is from a correspondant in England, "j'adore ça" - me too!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Home and I didn't know what to do with myself... so I braved a swim.... it was obviously rammed with people - summer holidays.... two attempts to buy a ticket... made it in... nearly made it to the pool with my glasses on (usual error).... showered in ? the male showers.... </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Into the pool, now I find lane swimming awkward anyway, what is the system?! & I didn't want to get it wrong in a different country.... politely stopping at each end incase someone else wanted to go... I got a few glares from this guy... I politely rearranged my goggles to give everyone a chance to go before me if they wanted... only colliding with one person when turning... kicking two others (who I apologised to in French) and hitting one young boy with a ball - from the nearby, heated volleyball game. Managed to breathe front crawl both left and right now!! Fourty minutes was finally up... to the changing rooms. A couple being all mushy with their children around my locker - trying to get to my locker when someone else tries to push in! Now I'm being all polite as its not my country but I was there first... it was the guy glaring at me in the pool... I'd turned away when I heard, "oh you don't speak French..." Oh, that could only be for me... I must have been ignoring him... He wanted to speak to me, we eventually realized in English 'he would like to speak to me after, in ten minutes...' - well sure enough, did he want to ask about my front crawl? (it was indeed looking a bit better) or was I being chatted up? Shower, changed and found the swimmer... we had a brief chat outside, he smelt alot of smoke and had that really handy string on your glasses going around your neck.. not quite the typical frenchman in a stripey shirt... language was obviously a major problem but I learned, he injured himself doing sport and is an artist... despite him offering me his number, and to write to me in England I said, well I am going back to England... its not everyday you get chatted up by a french artist! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">France is asleep on Sunday mornings, I only saw a handful of people - the majority of whom were sightseers - all clutching our maps! I visited the cathedral, very grand - I think Christian was right, it took so long to build ?400 years it lacked a distinctive style... the other church was very imposing - huge gold sculptures.. it was almost frightening. The Abbey now houses a history and art exhibition, I didn't like the art.. but it was impressive how realistic it looked from so few brushstrokes. I was tired by this point and needed to get some bread before the shop shut.... nowhere looked open in town.... </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Too late to get a treat at the boulangerie, brown baguette today (very tasty). Had an hour or so chilling at home... cycled into town to Thabor park... this is where the French spend their Sundays - so many people, all sat on the grass with their families or (like me) reading, feet resting on the fountains, very peaceful - I lost a few hours there. Complicated public loos, well the first loos didn't have a main door - no door at all for men, (also no loos in France have loo seats.... bizarre) the second set of loos required buttons to be pressed to lock the door, I was too slow and so the light went off - absolute drama... no wonder the queue moved so slowly! Ice cream to keep me going... I found the other Abbey, the fantastic swimming pool and also the school where Drayfus's second trial was held. Cycled home and was getting ready for a run when the doorbell rang. Oh no. I ignored it... it rang again. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anne's mother had arrived, now she's lovely don't get me wrong - but it was a surprise... engaging my French brain suddenly.. I think went alright and we've sorted a plan for getting to the airport on Friday too. Run was good, I felt good on the way back, I stopped a lot on the way out with a stitch... maybe the ice cream?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While I remember, runners here wear some odd things. I've seen, on the hottest days men in full leg and arm lycra... today there were some odd colour combinations but other days however I've seen a lot of people in t-shirts & normal clothes - I've been mistaken as to whether they are running for something, such as a bus or actually running... !!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tomato, basil, courgette pasta, deep-fried my courgette flower stuffed with cheese (BBC good food recommended it) - pretty nice! And I've just had some homemade crepes too....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The weekend! Had another lazy morning and big breakfast... leaving for the market late as usual. I managed to just dodge the rain to get there. Arrived easily (no getting lost!). Horror struck as the 'tomato-man' was absent.. I wandered up and down a few times before I dared attempt some french and even then I didn't dare ask for everything I needed! Had a good laugh asking for a small packet of cherry tomatoes, "err des tomates..... petite pacquet?" - somehow (with me also pointing) he understood. The market is the second largest food market in France and its well known in Europe also, no wonder I'm so impressed. It is lovely to see the families working on the stalls, children hiding behind playing computer games, you can tell these vegetables are family businesses, grown nearby - Bretagne is the agricultural centre of France. I was very proud with my selection of veggies, taking the bus home, too scared of damaging my precious veggies. I even think I managed to fine a rare 'snozcumber' (reference to Rold Dahl's The BFG)... (middle, left)</span></span></span></div>

They have an exhibition on working clothes too - how the uniforms are used for identification and also protection... The photo shows health workers uniforms until 2010 (midwife, nurse, nurse's aide, civil servant?, radiology)... for economic reasons they now all wear white, with a coloured stripe. Its very smart in hospital and I imagine a little cooler being white...</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Bretagne is famous for agriculture, fishing, tourism, and music and technology apparently and they have their own language! Stopped by H&M on my way home... <br /><br />Christian, Anne's friend was meeting me tonight to watch a 'show' in the town centre... I recieved this email:<br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">"Well, my friend is not so well organized... Her car was too small to take off the two furnitures she bought ; I told her but she only beleive in herself, so.... To solve the problem, the owner of the shop proposed to deliver them after closing at 7 p.m. at her flat. But, knowing her, I am sure she will be still needing help... In compensation of this mishap, she propose to offer us a drink... with a bottle or two I will bring with me ! I am still intending to pick you up at 7 p.m. at Anne's flat.<br />It seems to me Indiana Jones life is still sticking to my body... Discovering you soon. Christian" </span><br /><br />On a side note, the french people I have met, have been pretty honest about their friends... Anne may have said her daughter was getting fat, have warned me who, of her friends talk too much, her mother is a 'nice older person, not a bad one...' Nice and honest.<br /><br />Anyway 'Indiana Jones' arrived, without my glasses from the balcony I could almost get the IJ vibe... Think indiana jones how Dad is James Bond... Off we set on the bikes, he didn't always give me much notice with turning. Odd hour or so, meeting this friend and her children, I nearly sat on her new granite worktop and then she forced some food upon me - still no idea what that was... I was welcomed into the divorcee club, should I be in a similar situation in 20years... what do you say to that? Although they all have good english, I'm not sure they understood me much, yes I spoke slowly Mum. I made them laugh acting out a bike drama last week, with the seat falling down though...</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />To the concert... very English feel, pouring with rain, persisting, sitting on soggy deckchairs... Christian kept trying to tell me things between the songs... Anne of Betagne's statue was destroyed from the square... I think to signify they were now a part of France, but it could be the other way around. Ten pm, time for tea... I had another galette, cheesy, walnuts and salade with some cidre... very tasty. It was a mussels restaurant so all around people had about 40 mussels each!! For pudding we shared this weird, quite literally, bread with caramel sauce... it tasted exactly as it sounds, sugary but 'c'est bizare'... not again in a rush. Chrisitan insisted I went to see the toilet before we left, it was something else....I did go... still not sure what was special about it.... honestly no idea... anyway! Quite sad actually, he has two children but they aren't in touch with him at all after the divorce... I was ready for home but Christian wanted to show me some of the town, including where the student nightlife is (thursday nights in France), where Anne's daughter works - yes in an old prison, and you can tell.... but its where people in fashion etc.. go on a saturday night. Indiana jone and I peering it was slightly odd. We saw the oldest house in Rennes, which is now a 'bar nuit', the bouncer wasn't wanting to chat, but Christian was... Finally got back on the bikes and tootled home, I was quite glad to get back! Very nice though he is, I'm not sure his comprehension of English was as good as perhaps his speaking in English... and he speaks alot in English - Anne had warned me correctly.<br /><br />Bed</span></span></span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;">Long blog today, but I make no apologies for it</span>, long day!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nice leisurely breakfast again, tried to make a filter coffee too late with just a mug... lots of hot steam and a bit off a mess managed to make a decent cuppa coffee... which did endeavor to keep me awake all day! Staff meeting this morning, so physio, dieticians were present too. It was alright and then the interne took me under her wing for her final day. I'd seen the son of my patient already this morning so I wasn't optimistic... he was sicker and had been moved to a side room. He was, sadly, going to die...</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We started the ward round, after some faffing with computers, a well patient ready for home. I managed to help him with his phone, I think he was complaining his mobile was only 25% charged after over an hour charging.... its amazing how much you can help people without saying very much at all... I mean obviously assuming I did help him correctly, but still its something to think about. He offered me an after eight so I can't have been too wrong... My patient passed away as we knew he would, myself and the two doctors were very sad. The interne actually said 'I want to cry.' That doesn't happen with every patient, I don't want that to seem that doctors don't usually care - its just that some patients, for some reason, touch a little deeper. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We moved onto another patient, he wasn't rousable which was very unusual. Completely unconcious but yes breathing and with a pulse... scary, scary few minutes, particularly with death at the forefront of our minds. It was decided his medication last night had provoced this and he was left to sleep. While this was happening a nurse popped in, Madame had chest pain, left hand side... ECG showed no changes and so we could take a deep breath. She felt very nauseous and it was difficult listening to her, she's old and weak and even vomiting or coughing for these people is difficult, you do start to loose control of your body. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Whilst this commotion was going on, the son of my patient came out to speak to the interne and myself. I didn't understand alot of the spoken conversation, the interne didn't say alot either but we listened. We turned ourselves towards him, we smiled and listened as he spoke, as he broken down and stuggled to hide the tears and I fetched some tissues, you don't need to speak sometimes to understand and respond to someone's emotions. When he came to say goodbye before leaving he shook both of our hands thanking us, it was lovely, although I hadn't contributed alot to his care, he had been nominated 'my patient', we'd struggled with the ECG together and I felt I had more of a connection to him that a lot of patients before. He had been getting better and it was so sad to see him struggle, lovely man. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The well patient, leaving today, had been my patients roommate. It was simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming to hear him ask after my patient. They'd been through everything together for a few days, (they don't have curtains here, which I'm not entirely happy about) anyway, chatting together, the well patient doting on him, sharing after eight mints. They had been adorable. The son of my patient spoke to the well man which I just thought was beautiful.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />We saw a patient who will turn 100 this year, she's eager to get home to her sister, she's over a hundred years old herself (and in better shape), they live together, sharing one bed. The patient is worrying that her sister won't eat without her at home. Amazing.<br /><br />Spent some time with the lady folding face clothes, I managed to ask her some questions.. she responded to a question in English too.... I really do love the elderly. Finally time for lunch, we shared a bottle of cidre and some pizzas for the interne leaving... The conversation went onto (in french), "wearing the mask in the cinema" and "spike" - from that I knew it was Notting Hill! We also watched a video of the doctors husband sailing, hours after his baby was born he sailed to Brazil - I imagine you have to be a pretty decent sailor to go to Brazil from France... Back to the ward, homemade 'gateaux', tasty sponge. <br /><br />I followed the other ward this afternoon. Speaking to a new patient I had to explain I was English - she told me I spoke well and didn't have much of an accent, fantastic, especially after the interne asking this morning if I understood more now... (in a kind of good rhetorical way!) And it got better... the two doctors on the other ward said (and I wrote it down to remember), "tu parle beaucoup mieux en francais".... I speak a lot better in French. It felt so good. I watched as they aspirated a possibly septic knee, interesting exudate and I asked some questions.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Home at half four, shorts on, nipped to the post office (french okay, paid the 'parfait' change). I managed to find the park tourist information had recommended - it was lovely, long archways made by huge trees, botanic gardens with every rose imaginable. All the plants have a coloured label dependent on their properties, red is medicinal... I fancied a shop but I didn't manage to find a white top (saw a nice shirt... but it seems ridiculous to buy a shirt in this heat!). I caught a bit of the big band performing in the central square (trumpets at times went to heights not quite necessary) but overall fantastic. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Very different day and not for all of the best reasons. Today's made me think and feel, I feel much happier with my French again, I can see how you can progress with it. I still love working with the elderly I find them endearing, interesting and wise but a lot of people fear becoming old. Loosing control... the people I meet don't often mention it, but doing memory tests and not knowing the day or the year must get to you at some point.... Being elderly, parts of you become old and don't function as well, you do loose control. I'm not sure I'll ever know why some patients leave more of an impression upon you... And as much as I told myself the son has already lost his mother, his father was over ninety - they had to have expected it... they were father and son. We, the assortment of medical staff, family, an English student are linked by this patient and by the ending, a moment which seems very real in a job which can otherwise often feel like a 'game', prescribing 'electronic' prescriptions....</span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I escaped before clinic, cycling then walking to the park with the beautiful lake and waterlilies - very quick 'picnic' lunch and off I set again for clinic... found Hotel Dieu without a problem and arrived forty-five minutes early! Time to find some coffee (the town centre was surprisingly very close)... ordered the coffee fine I think and enjoyed it in the 'Hotel' garden. <br /> </span></span></span></span></span></div>

I learned some things I'll use in England, managed to make some small talk with a patient for a while and it was really interesting to observe how people react to the memory tests, not their scores but their attitudes. The final couple was quite sad, especially after the doctor explained why she'd mentioned the care homes today - she just didn't think they could cope, it was okay for the moment, but very clearly 'for the moment.' Oh and the first patient didn't have a degenerative memory problem, she'd suddenly had an incident, leaving her with a memory deficit - big thing to adapt to. Had a chat about the differences I've noticed between French and English geriatrics, I'm going to write a list and share it with the doctors - I forget its interesting for them to see how England is too...</span></span></span></span></span></div>

Cycled home (no wrong turns), stopping off at a different supermarket... it wasn't the nicest but it had a good selection, including a 'turkish delicacy' section... (mainly meat). Also bought a ?bagettine, it wasn't a baguette whatever it was! (Very similar just a little smaller). Home. Fed Phoebe. Phoebe was sick (without wanting to be vuglar, what a strange sound). Sorted the sick. Lost my appetite slightly. So ran.... even did a few (shock-horror) sprints... & overtook the same runner twice!<br />

Ward this morning, I had to check up on my patients, thankfully tagged along with the friendly med student and we didn't do too much, followed the interne. At one point shockingly discovered a water fight, two nurses and the unarmed interne.... apparently it was her last day.. they'd also cut her notes into triangles....! I was useful on the ward for once, noticed a patient choking, my worried face was all it took and I said 'tousse' (cough), she was okay, but coughed and nearly vomited for a while... scary moment. My patient when we finally saw him looked terrible - it was pretty sad, he'd been so well. Eventually had the courage to visit my patient from the other ward alone, off I set...<br /><br />"Bonjour... ca va?" He was sat up, looking a huge amount better than yesterday - how much difference a day can make! He was quite deaf so it took a while for me to explain, 'english', we got there and I managed to ask, "Douleur?" (pain) - a little, bottom right of his abdo, same as yesterday... he kept asking about surgery... and said he couldn't eat lunch... was he coming back here after? Well I was quite surprised he was going off for surgery this afternoon but gave him a simple, "je ne sais pas" reply (I don't know!). It had dawned on me by this point that he could be a different patient.... </span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;">Needless to say, this fancy breckie, followed with a crepe made me a little late.... Handover and then onto the ward round. I was asked to take a blood gas from 'my patient' - unfortunately (& I was laughed at again, we don't get taught this type of blood test until fifth year in newcastle..). I watched and was quite glad I wasn't causing him the pain, even despite the local anaethetic cream he'd had applied! (not in England...). Spoke to another patient, which was nice, I felt I'd come a long way to approach a patient and try a few sentences, I'm not really sure what about but he was smiling too, the tour featured again. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;">I understood a lot more of the ward round, doing alright. Only four patients seen by eleven.... but it was okay, however long this morning lasted I would be having the afternoon off to see Rennes and buy train tickets to Paris. Brioche break at mid-day, when I say break - I mean 'brioche' at mid-day in the middle of the ward...People are friendlier to me which is nice though.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;">The ward round eventually ended (I'd been contemplating something was wrong with me always falling asleep) and I went to ask, "I'd like to, this afternoon buy my tickets to go to Paris..." Confronted with, "Will you come back...?" was tricky... I tried, "Well, I can but what's this afternoon..." Long story short, I was to come back, the other ward had four new patients - who I would examine first alone and then return with the doctor (I had said 'no' but was told 'I think try first..'). Needless to say I was pretty frustrated and angry and sad. As I left I saw the demented patient who likes to tidy, surrounded by a pile of clean facecloths - folding, how heartwarming. Had a pitstop at home, including a cup of Anne's coffee... Calmed down enough to cycle to the station, got lost again, so frustrating. Arriving at the station desk, having to use my written plan and the computer screen - tickets booked, next wednesday! </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;">Back on the bike (despite being quite late, I couldn't just hop on a bus... I don't know where to buy tickets...and you can't on the bus?!!!). Made it back to la Tauvrais, standing on a stone and feeling so sorry for myself. Took a few minutes to find a doctor, I found the scarier doctor first who thankfully spoke to me very, very slowly: "you...would like....to...see....new....patient...?" Well quite frankly, no. So I grimaced and said, "oui." The friendlier doctor was with the patient and I observed the end of his examination - very interesting, very thorough. I particularly found the ?kidney check unsual - quite literally hammering his back (left and right) and asking, "mal? (pain?)".... well we don't do that in England... He'd been admitted with some back pain and so he had to ensure some more deep prodding. He quite clearly had Parkinsons Disease and she repeatedly did the 'lead-pipe' arm test, until she was applying a fair bit of force... it was obvious already!!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After a few minutes we returned to see him, I was to ask him some questions about his home. Again I tried to say no. He knew I was English and his roomate and wife had now returned too, an audience... "Vouz habitez toute soule?" - apparently made no sense when I asked it... With some help from the doctor we went for something simpler, "Vous avez l'infermiere?" - You have a nurse?, meaning like a carer at home... After a few attempts, blank silence from everyone... me trying loudly and clearly, he admitted yes. Now to ask how many times or everyday? With the doctor asking it eventually came out that he did not have a nurse...</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> "Vous avez des enfants?" No one understood so the doctor told me how to pronounce it... honestly the same as how I was... I'm sure.... Laughing when I said 'beaucoup' to his number of grandchildren - English girl says something in French! Spent the next hour in the office, understanding the docs okay and learning swearing - the computer wasn't playing....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Finally managed to ask to go... came home to find Phoebe out... thankfully with the neighbour for a walk and after speaking to her and Anne's mum we set off to the countryside to the creperie... Well it wasn't the countryside - picture teeside park, lots of restaurants around a cinema... lots of cars to watch from the window. It was lovely and despite my terrible french and her lack of English I think we understood 60% of each other. Yummy gallete and crepe (caramel, apple and ice cream) for pudding... 'petite cafe' to wash it all down too. I thought Anne suggested we visit somewhere, unless I was too tired... we arrived straight home... so I'm not sure what I'd said.. She was lovely and very patient.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This is my
'geriatric hospital'. First floor to
the right is Le Court Sejour (Short Stay, where I am), to the left and above is
Long Duree (yes Mum it does sound like 'lingerie' in my french accent....). I
think the top floor is a 'Maison de Retraite' - Retirement/Care home. The
flowers are beautiful - the photo doesn't do them justice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">"Ecouter"
- something I'm certainly doing a lot of recently (I know my parents and Pete
right now are like... 'well you don't normally...' It’s been a good
thing, I've definitely learned to be more
observant. & I think other senses are important, touching a patient or holding their hand has an important place in
consultations and here in France in greetings. Not being able to say a lot in
French has encouraged me to really think before I speak and to perhaps just
pick a few words, something which will hopefully stay with me when I return
home.... even if it’s just in a professional setting....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Started the
long ward round, comprehended a bit (I really struggle to
remember the patients names though - they're not by the bedside like in
England) and off we set. So slow... the second patient was a flamboyant elderly
man, in I think Moroccan attire - I'm not sure the other staff understood him either,
but he had no weakness, demonstrating this by exuberantly flailing his arms in
the doctor's face... I could usually pick up the patient's medical problem from
listening to a quick summary, which is a definite improvement. Lots of too-ing and fro-ing of doctors and while
I don't think they're doing a bad job, not at all - I don't think for all the
time they spend, they're doing the best job... I excused myself at half twelve,
"je vais aller a manger?" (I'm going to go and eat?) - I'd meant to
explain, because I have clinic at 1pm... but I got nervous... Imagine I annoyed
the other medical students, they'd be stuck for the long run and I'd just asked
(my only french words spoken in front of them) can I eat...? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Lunch, my bread
from Saturday was tough... so I took one of the little pains - I later realized
everyone does it (I’d been told before it was okay) and the sign saying 'DON'T'
is often ignored... Stocked up on coffee... Ready to go to clinic, found out it was actually 3pm... so before I could catch anyone I escaped home
for an hour! I did some cleaning, took the bins out and emptied the compost (I
haven't smelt anything so disgusting for a while... sorry nature but I can't
handle a compost heap up here!). </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Back to hosp
via the pharmacy. I've been bitten another half a dozen times at least - and
they're quite inflamed.... I was starting to worry it was something else - so I
wielded my swollen arm at the pharmacist, 'J'ai beaucoup de piques' (lots of bites)...
when she didn't say anything I settled for two packets of antihistamines.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Having now also
taken a bus and the metro in Rennes, I can say - not only are French trains
nice, French public transport is beautiful. How luxurious... the bus had funny
sized seats at the front, not quite big enough for two but roomy for one... The
CHU hospital was stunning again, so huge and each department is housed in an
entirely unique style building - I'm going to try and take some photos. Two
patients this afternoon, unusual cancers. The first arrived with three of his
children and I proudly understood about 80% of the consultation, well I got
some of the gist anyway... good chat about the Tour de France, and they asked
me about England and the French healthcare system - I hope I answered the
questions they asked... really enjoyed that hour and a half. The second patient
highlighted to me worries of patients living 'tout seule' - alone....</span><br />

Definitely gave myself more creeps than necessary, but believe me your thinking changes when you're alone, particularly in a foreign country. Back home just after 10:25. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

(rescued my soap from the plug) and watched the news. Set off at quarter to ten - train was 10:37 - so plenty time for error (which of course, a small one, there was....) I'd planned to go to the ticket office but it was closed when I arrived, so I struggled with the machine, even despite it being in English - there were a million questions, do I have this card, that card, am I am member of this.. or that? & no prices were shown until right at the end... Anyway clutching my tickets I headed upstairs (there was a larger, open ticket office...) Thankfully checked the platform as it had changed since I arrived, walked on the platform and my train pulled up. (Checked it was St Malo) and off we went (perfectly on time). Well the French trains are lovely, nothing like the Hartlepool/Newcastle 'bus' style train. I spent most of the journey worrying I'd have to move to my allocated seat and the logistical difficulty with that! </span></span></span></span></span><br /><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="fr"><span class="hps"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="goog_359396895"></span><span id="goog_359396896"></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="fr"><span class="hps"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="fr"><span class="hps"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Made it to St Malo (without moving seat) and bought a kinder bueno - who knew when lunch would be.... Sat crocheting in the sun when I noticed a man in a red cap looking for someone - that was my clue, met up with the couple and their dog and off we set. They were amazing, so, so lovely - driving me along windy, narrow, crowded streets, parallel-parking into tiny spaces so I could have a quick view of the town, hopped out to have a look out over the sea, there was a statue of the man who discovered Canada and they showed me some of the original buildings, from 1725!. Over 70% of the town was destroyed and has since been rebuilt (not, as I thought from Wiki, and asked them.... from a fire...but in WW2). </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="fr"><span class="hps"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">St
Malo is a very defensive town, the old buildings are big and strong,
the town's walls were huge and about a metre thick - all to stop the
British! The blue bay, with low tide was scattered with large rocky
mounds - unless you know the way into the bay you would quite simply
die, successful natural defenses. St Malo was destroyed by the
Americans, once the Germans were inside the city. For a primarily
defensive town it was beautiful. The blue sea was covered, covered in
white sails on the horizon, behind this side of the town was the
commercial yard, chemicals, wood being imported/exported and beside this
another harbour - it absolutely blew Hartlepool Marina out of the
water... (excuse the pun). Although I think the Trincomalee was better
than their big ship... anyway this is getting petty..<br /></span></span></span></span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="fr"><span class="hps"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span></span><br />

over the barrage, which has some fancy energy generating thing, from
tidal movement in and out - very cool. We wound through another few
coastal towns, stopping for a nice view back over St Malo and the row of
original buildings. Arriving at the couple's beautiful home. They were
lovely and their English, fantastic. You can't underestimate the
brilliance of speaking in your own language again. They've traveled
alot, lived in England, Africa and Sirbia. As he said "I'll have to do
some work today, BBQ for lunch.." I could understand the couple
bickering in French, she was telling him not to just offer me alcohol as
an apperitif, I settled with trying something.... ergh aniseed, it was
horrible... so I tried the safe 'fruit juice' option... grapefruit....
hmm.... Anyway I wasn't going to bring up the veggie thing and we sat
down to potatoes, beef tomato, mozerella bazil salad, bread and
chicken/sausage/tomato kebabs, all the better for being sat outside
chatting in English. Had a little wine too. I made the woman laugh,
describing my perfect french letters to Rennes (thanks to G) and my
subsequent first meeting with Prof Somme... she couldn't speak she was
laughing so much! The man was telling me about living in London and he's
twice run with Seb Cohen... & completed a half marathon in 35
degree heat, wow. Onto the cheese course, just perfect. It's handy I
know a little French... I understood that ice cream would be coming too
(saved some space)... ice cream and biscuits later, just left time for
coffee. It was hilarious we had spent this morning, "Sarah we'd show you
here but we don't have much time, really sorry..." to this lovely, long
leisurely lunch (rather than a quick english sarnie)... The woman kept
nagging her husband in French, "c'est trois heures moins quart..." Hurry
up... he was too busy telling me stories. So generous of them, it was
exquisite. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

We had a little wander along a rocky point, lovely views over the bays, even if the mist had descended. (You can see Jersey, less than 25 miles away!) We occasionally blocked the road, at one point we then starting suddenly and the dog (Gucci - yes, I know...) fell off my lap on to my feet! We drove past Dinnard and the famous Dinnard Golf club (Gran Tiff has been to Dinnard, but not played there). Courageously drove down this track ending in a million-point-turn so I could see the view (the photos aren't great, not sure it was the best view) but for effort it was lovely! Saw a working windmill. (ooped nearly typed 'window'..). <br /><br />We had a good nosey of some fabulous houses, even the everyday houses are so unique and lovely, the big houses are something else... possibly saw the house of some designer guy? (it wasn't the nicest)... we saw a 'labyrinth' and I tried to explain the maize maze... bad idea...</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Meow, meow" to get me out of bed eventually. Set off for the market at a lazy 11:20, bike issues again, something like vous discardez - has Anne's yearly membership run out?! (I tried four other stations... so something's not happy!) Set off walking... so its not a thirty minute walk, a lovely walk though it was, made it into town (without getting lost) an hour later (don't worry sun cream well applied)... post office, finally sent the cards... but I was really confused, I mean the woman understood "je voudrais envoyer errr England" so it was all going well, then two of the staff were chatting and a customer too... one of them looking at me... oh they must have spoken to me... "pardon?" "Pardon?" he repies and wiggles his glasses at me... very confusing... then they all start tapping their glasses - have I got food on them or something, it wouldn't be the first time.... so i start to take my glasses off saying the word 'glasses'... anyway - they wanted to know the english translation... I mean they could just have said, "Qu'est ce que le mot pour 'lunettes' en anglais?..." </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />And onto the market! Firstly for the tomato man again, look at the photos - my absolute heaven, I'm such a tomato monster... managed to ask for quatre noir and six more... He obviously recognized I was foreign but didn't remember me from last week until I said Newcastle... he didn't try and talk after that! My babies tucked safely under my arm - I have no regrets spending six euros on tomatoes! I was handed a bag when I tried to ask for aubergines and courgettes at the next stand, despite pointing too- oops.. The price was good though! Messed up nectarines though and had to ask for some more....Flowers - when else will I be able to buy myself some beautiful field fresh flowers? The little old woman was adorable too but language was an issue.. she helped me choose five strands of these big colourful flowers (see photos). Amazing guy standing in an orange t-shirt with a battery recycling box on his chest (Dad... job for retirement? Take your recycling skills further?) </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Garlic was surprisingly difficult to find... on my hunt I spotted this mysterious vegetable... now I did ask 'Qu-est ce que c'est?' (what is it...) I still couldn't tell you, possibly 'pattison'? but that seems an awfully english name... any ideas? Explored the inside areas, saw a dead, plucked chicken/bird with its neck broken - I didn't want that. Tempted by these tubs of fresh yoghurt you get a little pot of - but they wouldn't survive the heat. Sampled some jams (i love rhubarb) and treated myself to a slice of baklava and some tomato gallete - which looks completely different to what I thought a gallete was.... Also I have no idea how to spell it, as I'm sure you've noticed...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wandered for a bit, Rennes is gorgeous - definitely a place you can just wander. Managed lunch out at the 'creperie' I think it was called... egg gillete and a lager... not a big fan of the gillete... watched a couple as the man outside the shop ate his sandwich and his partner spent ages in the shop... I later realised I think she owns it... A table next to me had the most adorable family, two boys and a little girl - so, so cute, Dad was playing games with the children. Managed to ask for the bill and tried to give a little tip, but the woman watching over me told me to stop - I had enough, well I could count haha.. "pour vous..." </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, wool shop across the road & I tested the bike situation again... no luck. BUT: I HELPED SOMEONE IN FRENCH. She asked how to access the bikes, I basically explained I have a card but you can buy them at the orange stations - go me! - I did later reflect that she also probably wasn't french but she thanked me and all was good. Ambling around to find a razor now... not in pharmacies surprisingly... my fantastic mime of shaving legs gave me a clear answer 'no' Tourist information also enjoyed the question (however not the mime) telling me 'a supermarket'... anyway I now know where three supermarkets in town are. I also bought a map in english for 20cents, absolute bargain and asked what to see, plenty of museums - including a science one!! Ate my baklava in a park watching an English family take photos of the son, I'd predicted they were English... Set off on the long walk home, I was stopped, someone told me in french that my flowers were beautiful - I had to use the I'm English thing again...but she translated nicely. A few minutes later a runner shouted, (i think) "joyeux fleurs" - how nice, I think... Bikes still not happy I tootled along (sun cream had been reapplied in the cafe - spot the English woman...) coming across some graffit art being painted - of snoopy, I'm quite excited to see the finished article later! Flowers slowly limping and the tops theatening to snap....</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Home, the door was already open.... I had locked it...., hadn't I? Anne's mother was here - just what I wanted after a good few hours of sweaty walking. She's lovely, she speaks in French only, which was challenging and apparently I'm not understandable when speaking in French, despite me being sure I have the right words formed up there... she stayed for a coffee and we chatted quite well, she was really nice, after a bit of discussion, she wrote it down eventually - we're meeting up on Tuesday night for galettes in town again - how lovely. I actually think having someone who will have to speak in French but clearly will be good for me, she had a lot of patience! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Spoke to Pete and had a very short run, shower time - used my new razor (I can understand why the French apparently don't shave mind, that was difficult to find!), also managed to get my soap stuck down the drain... its still there... but the drains had been smelling - maybe its a good thing? and get shampoo in my eyes - oops! Shop for eggs, bread and wine.... Home, quiche, (I'm getting better Rosie, but still not as good!) tomato and feta salad, tomato gillet and wine... also cut into the mysterious veggie! Singed up to the bikes myself for a bargain 5 euros for the week, all set to cycle into town for the parliament light show... rocking my sandal tan lines... maybe I should have gone for socks and sandals...?</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lovely listening to the rain whilst in bed, but I read too much and didn't sleep well, at least it meant I was up early to plan my day off - Mont St Michel it was.... first bus at 9:45. So I got myself organized and was out the house just before 9am, allowing for getting lost time on the bike into town. Made it into town, stopped checked a map, this way, follow the canal... just thinking how I'd better be on the right track, I only had time for one attempt... thankfully checked another map and I had quite predictably gone the wrong way! It was by now approaching 9:30 & I was loosing hope of making the bus. Somehow made it to the train/bus station - couldn't find a bike station for a while.... then couldn't find the bus... contemplated asking in the train station but amazingly caught the glimpse of a while bus out of the corner of my eye... ran to it, to cooly see a huge queue. Yes, I'd made it. Queued like a true englishman for a while, realizing everyone (who obviously hadn't needed to run) already had tickets... now my online research told me I could pay on the bus.... I'd only uttered 'je n'ai....' before being told, "TICKET OFFICE" and pointed.... well I'd decided to wait until she told me in the hope they'd wait for me.... at least they did! Well Mont St Michel is lovely, beautiful and the walk along the canal towards it was pretty amazing, it looks just like a magic castle. They've built a huge new barage which they use twice a day to control tides and I think minimize erosion from vegetation...? It was quite a long walk but very nice, approaching the foot of the mount was confusing and crowded, thankfully hearing some English....'d been warned it was very touristy..... it was VERY touristy. Crowed narrow streets selling rubbish, I made my way up to the abbey, (feeling very sorry for the man in front with a buggy, and slow, ignorant walkers in front) anyway, the abbey... I was in two minds to pay for it... I'd decided I would when I noticed it was actually free, as I'm under 25 and still an EU citizen - super. The Abbey was stunning, very glad I saw it.... I walked into the grand hall just at the right time, the monks and nuns were singing, in an eerily beautiful tone. It was a strange parallel to my book, the main character spent the first few years of his life in an Abbey as he was born to an Irish girl outside of marriage... slightly strange. Very calm, cool place - I imagine it has a beautiful atmosphere in the evening time without all of the tourists. Time for lunch, obviously very expensive, 6.50, so not extortionate for a sandwich compared to a bottle of coke say, 4.50!!! Thankfully I found the water fountain instead... After a little wander around the walls I escaped onto the beach.... listening to warnings of uneven surfaces, quicksand etc I followed the walked routes... still managing to spectacularly fall within minutes (whole left side covered in the grey-green mud-sand...). It was a bit disgusting, the stagnant looking water and sometimes orangey patches but it was good fun squelching through and wading in the shallow warm waters. Climbed onto a rock and read for a good while before finally heading back and setting off towards the bus. Disappointed in the queuing for the water taps to wash - its true I love to queue.... properly though. Took a photo for an English couple. It was lovely to hear English people,you could honestly pick them out as the large ones.... oh dear... the conversations I overheard were, 'it reminds me of that painter chap, I can't remember who...' 'but Mum you want to make me sad'... and 'FOOD'... Maybe its best I don't understand French, maybe the reality of what they're saying won't live up to the beautiful sound and mystery. Just wandering along when a guy in front of me, possibly called Alexander turned around... "bonjour." "Bonjour" I replied..." "Je m'apelle ?Alexander?" "Je m'appelle Sarah. Je suis anglaise." - As I said I always get that straight in there! "So you speak English?". Alex had decided he had to speak to me and wasn't sure how it might have gone in french... he's from somewhere south in the states doing some project here for a few months with a group of people. It was so nice to speak in English. So nice. Nice chat on the way back to the 'parking lott', I even got invited to 'caravan-along' to a beach with the group of them... but it was time to catch my bus home! I've started to notice that that guy and also a lot of french woman do this thing where they inhale very dramatically, often before they speak but sometimes just randomly, its very bizarre... but obviously normal here - no one else flinches! Everyone but me fell asleep on the coach, how unusual. I sat in the bus station to finish my book, very sad. Made it home cycling with only one extra loop of the main square... its hard to remember which way up the canal is up!! Phoebe had been sick again... quiet evening, updating my blog, early night ready for the market tomorrow... </span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12617333177801206365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401603953653653819.post-21090471797974171212014-07-25T12:47:00.002-07:002014-07-25T12:48:21.738-07:00#42 - Jeudi 25th<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Made it into hospital, ward round and I then sat with the externes again, horribly awkward when they spoke to me and I didn't realise yet again until the long pause.... she later explained my comprehension must be pretty bad to not know they were talking to me.... Read through some computer notes and went on a little ward round with the doctor where I was given my own patient - goodness. I didn't speak much french and made the ECG a right palarva but it was so good to feel a little useful again and to spend some time directly with a patient. In England Drs rarely do the ECGS, so I've not done many, the principle is simple - stick the electrodes on, atatch the wires and press the button to go. Well I couldn't get the stickers to stay on with the weight of the leads, asking the intern for help she said 'ask someone for help...' , well I'd asked her and only for some sticky tape!! People here are nice but not overly nice - like it'd be nice to be given a print out of all the patients, like everyone else... Returned to find the patient in his nineties worriedly trying to hold all the wires. Wrote in the notes in french, the doctor ONLY MADE SPELLING CORRECTIONS and added a little! Planning meeting went well, more clinics booked in and I know when the big ward round things are now, I was allowed Friday off... and the doctor has even organised for her parents to meet me in St Malo, the coastal town on Sunday, to have lunch at theirs nearby and they'll show me the nearby coastline too, how lovely. Quick lunch before heading to clinic, geriatric cancer. This was very interesting, situated at the main hospital, very big and the cancer centre was very new and flash - we saw three patients to manage their geriatric aspect of the cancer, discuss post treatment side effects and prevention of fractures etc... I managed to follow a great deal, at least towards the start of consultations... eyelids very droopy in the first one... & not sure what the man said as he left, hope it wasn't referring to my fatigue. All breast cancer which was interesting, the final patient was very organised, she had a folder of all her appointments etc, which was nice to see - I think I'd be the same way! She is involved in a research trial so that was interesting to find out about too. Long day making it back at about seven, tried to buy a razor - just got the blades, oops. As I was just starting my tea I could hear some distant aches of thunder.... ten minutes later the heavens opened. I turned the wifi off and Pheobe and I spent the evening listening to and watching the rain, trying to catch a glimpse of the lightening, phenomenal and it didn't cease until very late in the night</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Up, hair washed, boulangerie visited and off to hospital. Sat through another handover, met another medical student (externes) and then went to follow the interne as usual. She said maybe, if I wanted I should be with the externes and see what they do. So awkwardly had to go back into the doctors room and thankfully one of the girls asked 'was I bored'... I then explained I'd been sent to sit with them - french is hard. Thankfully I managed to help them out with a telephone number, although the french structure their telephone numbers differently, in speech - so my, 'huit-neuf-neuf-neuf...' wasn't quite right. One of the the medical students was really friendly and patient, we got to learn a bit about each others medical schools, in France they have six years as medical students, in this time - I'm not sure what year they are, there are usually four med students on the ward - having I would describe a secretarial role, filing x-rays and ringing other departments. They don't take bloods here, the nurses do, they don't write in the notes during the round as they're electronic... and they don't shadow and visit the patients everyday. Feeling very lucky to be an English medical student. After six years they become internes, still linked to university I think, but acquiring a salary, after two or three years they become doctors, I have no idea about specialty training. Hoped despite the boring morning to slip off with the students at lunch, one of them actually said I could leave... as I was going I saw the interne, "I am going to go..." "to eat?" she replied... No this was my time, I was going to stand my ground and get some time off to explore, "well, what is this afternoon?"... "we have a cours (teaching)." Ranted to the poor medical student. I decided I would ask the doctor most in charge of my stage if we could plan something more clear for the next two weeks, including some days off.... she said to see her after teaching....and off I set to eat my lunch outside, lovely sunshine (applied the suncream), just enjoying more harry potter when a man shouts to me, I responded in the usual way , declaring that I was English. Next thing I knew he's on the grass next to me, looking at my kindle - still speaking in French - despite no comprehension passing between us. I made my leave, back to the dining hall with the docs.... who informed me.... psychiatry is nearby.... Teaching was actually very interesting, effects of old age on diseases and their treatment, I managed to follow a great deal of it in French. (The french medical students weren't there...) Unfortunately the doctor and intern I often follow were called away.... I looked in the doctor's office and on the ward, in the doctor's office and on the ward, in the doctor's office and on the ward, eventually reading harry for an hour or so (I wanted to get this sorted today!!). Ended up leaving a note and heading home at half 4 - harry's in the forbidden corridor.... Also bumped into my Proffeseur supervisor during all the tooing and froing - it took a while to understand but it was his english I'd corrected yesterday - yikes, managed to anser, "de rein, je suis anglaise.." <br />Grumped home. Time for a run (28 degrees but only 'feels like 27'), actually really enjoyed myself, again massive sweat/heat shower, think I over did the water drinking and felt pretty ill later! courgette curry and a cycle ride, saw a beautiful sunset, very nice half an hour... came home and suddenly had an idea for Corinne's painting... Definitely time to sleep. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Woke up, remembering I had to make it out of bed and get to the boulangerie early this morning.... chocolate croissant and a baguette, delicious. Hand over meeting, understood very little and then had some awkward time where no one took me under their wing.... chapter of harry potter.... managed to join the other ward round. So, so long - everyone proping themselves against the wall or finding any surface to sit on. The lady with dementia has aquired a side-kick, double-trouble today... the other patients were adorable, particularly a man in his nineties, who when told to eat a high calorie yoghurt, insisted on reaching for and getting the lid to read it himself to check just what it was, amazing. I also enjoyed the man licking out his food dish! I didn't understand alot of the ward round but I got a few smiles from people (nine women on the round today)... & I even made them all laugh, deliberately so. At the end of the round I managed a conversation with two of the more senior doctors, I understood them and spoke a bit in (albeit broken) French, but it felt amazing - like I'd acomplished alot. Had to remind myself halfway through to focus, my brain had started hip-hip-hooraying, "yes, I'm understanding, I get it..." and that was pretty distracting.... It was regarding what i'd like to do while here, I think I might be attatched to a medical student and also do some clinics, I mananged to say I can read French better than speak and they understood it was all difficult for me! </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lunchtime and some more French with my supervisor, he has a lovely voice to understand, maybe he just speaks slowly... Made sure I got some coffee today! Asked what was this afternoon, hoping to then ask if I could leave... but three new patients?! The interne was looking stressed so I read harry potter before being asked to proof read some English, super I thought, easy. It was actually more challenging, the paper was a formal english piece reviewing an article.... took me a while to engage my english brain, I haven't studied English for a long, long time. I know what Mum and Dad are thinking while reading this - oh that poor person, who's written that article, bet its ruined now. Had a brief conversation in Franglais, I'm getting somewhere.... maybe. Stumbled across an elderly lady with a zimmer - trying to move a heavy chair. Argh, I was going to have to help, tried speaking in english, that didn't really work. Followed her lead and carried this chair up the corridor - assuming she needed the high-backed chair in her room. Clearly she didn't know where her room was or what I was suggesting and possibly even less.... I found out the patient's name from the label on her glasses....(sherlock holmes here I come) & tried to ask the interne which room she was in and what I should do, she just told me she hadn't seen the patient... argh, well that wasn't quite the problem I had.... The patient was still at the end of the corridor, now trying to simultaneously move her zimmer and the chair, I returned it sheepishly to the original spot - and a few minutes later she was happily sat there. If carrying a chair for no reason up and down a corridor wasn't a sign to leave, I don't know what is..... On my way out I actually managed to understand and help another french elderly lady - parfait!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I spent my evening by the canal, in the sun, reading Philomena - very peaceful. On my way home decided I would make some pasta to go with the few pieces of green ravioli I had remaining from Saturday's market. If you've ever fancied making your own pasta, give it a go, you do not need a pasta machine and its quite therapeutic! I do recommend you buy the nicer '00' flour - I don't think the shop's 57 cent flour was maybe the best for pasta! Here's my easy guide:</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. One egg per 100g of flour. (or just keep adding flour to an egg until it becomes dough, as I did). One egg per person... </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Knead for 5 mins - no right way to do it, just mix it up, it should become a bit more elastic and smooth.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Fridge for 30mins.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Cut a small amount off & roll! (wine bottle works fine...). Keep rolling as thin as you dare.... </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here we go again, week 2. Managed to introduce myself to a new medical student and met a Pharmacy Externe. I didn't recognise my own name when a doctor shouted me but I managed to get the gist of what she was telling me - she spoke pretty quickly for a good few minutes too! Onto the other team 'Amour'. (The team I embarrassed myself in front of last week)... nice to see some new patients and I understood more than last week, particularly the patient shouting 'partir, partir!' - (leave, leave) at us all....I don't think I managed to answer a question about low sodium... I just said 'yes'.... anyway my french ability and everyone's ability to stand up simultaneously declined until the ward round finally finished just before two. Reminder to myself, if I ever find myself running a ward round, breaks are essential - I'm sure it would be quicker with a full tummy! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Answered the question 'Am I working this afternoon...' wrongly.... found myself in another meeting. Introduced myself to a new dietician who kindly told me I spoke well - amazing. Long story short....I've realized you have three ways of listening to things, 1. in the foreign language - 'french', listening hard I can pick out words and then often decipher a meaning. 2. your language - 'English', picking out English words from french dialogue will only confuse.... 3. to zone out from all - 'rhythmic foreign language', very, very nice and very, very sleep inducing. Shared a few words with a woman, my franglais not great...I understood being told I could go home though. I'm not too bad, it just usually takes a couple of attempts and some time to process what's been said.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Top tips for foreigners, short, slow sentences - you won't insult them, honestly. Use simple words. Consider how difficult it must be to ask someone to repeat themself twice and then still admit you don't understand. The temptation to answer with a smile, a yes or a no is huge, so seriously its worth thinking about. You can very easily restrict and bias your responses. Also give them time.)</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sun was breaking out, shorts on and onto a bike. Shopping list of, wool, postcards and midge stuff. Somehow made it into town event free, parked outside a shop selling 'Laine' - or in English, wool, amazing, I did not think I'd be able to find a wool shop in Rennes. Bright pink wool for mum. Next door was a postcard shop, I paid with the correct change, without looking at the figures.... </span></span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Final thing on my list was midge stuff, looked up and there was a pharmacy.... managed to explain and buy a worth-every-cent gel, even if the pharmacists in my family don't recognize the active ingredient! Again right change, without seeing the figures.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then spotted H&M... after Orkney I thought I was scared of shopping and that I only believed in practicality but as it turned out, retail therapy was just what I needed. I didn't actually buy anything but what a lovely forty minutes. (Also the prices are the same, only the currency sign changes... shocking!) Enjoyed a crepe and a 'petite' cafe, (hello first ever esspresso - whoops) under a parasol, writing my few postcards. The square was beautiful, full of people enjoying the sun and resting with their friends and family. It was really nice to be around other people, even strangers - something I also hadn't appreciated since Orkney. (Oh and again paid the correct change for my coffee without seeing the price!)</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cycled home, again event free (well questionably one horn toot, but I was scared he'd turn in front of me... anyway), nipped to the local shop (boulangerie closed on Mondays), replaced the dustpan I'd already broken. Finally finished my bottle of wine, (which was opened Friday and shared with Anne too). Spent the evening pottering and then reading harry potter in bed. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having clearly proven to myself I wasn't ready for the town... and having started the book, 'The Fault in Our Stars' yesterday afternoon... I spent the morning in bed reading. (Good gripping read, even if the characters were a little annoying and too 'literate' in my opinion, admittedly it is a book about teen cancer sufferers but its an easy, funny read and... only £2 for Kindle...) Finally wriggled out of bed and after a little bit of avoidance set out for a run. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lovely morning for it - ground still damp from the rain - felt quite good running surprisingly with the lack of running recently! Struggled with the major sweat shower after stopping - I don't know how people usually put up with this - absolute new found sympathy... Somehow, without any exercise and eating non-stop I've lost some weight - damn. Unfortunately I was too late to the boulangerie for the chocolate croissant I'd dreamed about whilst running. (Shops actually shut in France on a Sunday, I think it is really nice its still a day saved for family). Goats cheese, caramelized onions, salad and a good stack of bread instead. Pottered and did some jobs including using the ancient washing machine - thankfully no water leaked (as it sometimes does) & I think (touchwood) all is okay... </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put the tour on, understood little of the commentary, 'Cavendish', 'sprinter', 'tired', 'a little disorganised.' -(also just as a note, Mark Cavendish isn't actually racing this tour anymore). Painted, struggled but quite enjoyed the watercolours - squint, or if you're like me take your glasses off... it looks better! I'll finish it off this eve. Based on the photo from yesterday's blog.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spoke to Pete and then Mum and the family - nice to see some familiar faces and speak in English! Homemade quiche for tea, Rosie taught me well in Orkney, not quite as good as Rosie's.... I'll have to alter some quantities but it was still pretty tasty. The black tomato though was incredible - if you ever get the chance to buy one, you won't regret it.... the man at the market was right - they have more sugar in, just stunning. To aid the whole weight thing, had a second course of cheese (and wine), a third course of jam and bread oh and a forth of Normandy tart and tea. Maybe I should just turn this into a food blog? I'm becoming such a foodie, apologies!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh and the midges have struck again.... the net fell down a few nights ago and I don't think I should attempt to nail it back up without Anne... so despite being covered in repellant spray last night (so much so, it blocked my nose) I am again covered in bite marks.... straight back onto the antihistamine tablets but unfortunately I'm not feeling any benefit.... Searched in Anne's medical box (I'm allowed to) but I only found some more repellant..... the only possible local anesthetic-y thing was rectal... no thanks. Any suggestions? I have at least four new bites, one of which, on my back, has a length of over 8cm and is at least 2mm raised.....only real possible solutions pleas.... as currently I will try anything... and that's quite a vulnerable position, you could definitely abuse.... </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You
know that feeling when you've finally found the right direction and
you're full of optimism again? Fabulous feeling, I had that about twelve
times today. However also followed eleven times with desperate,
heart-sinking realization I was going the wrong way.....</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To start the day I said bon voyage to Anne, quite sad, she's been good company. Had breakfast, cleaned the litter tray out - can you kill a cat with the vapour of cleaning products? I don't know what the florescent green gel was.... Thankfully Phoebe hadn't been sick again like yesterday. Eventually got psyched up to visit the town - hopped on my bike making it almost into town before the rain hit, but 'je suis anglais' and I had my coat so it was fine. Now to make it clear, to borrow these hire bikes I have to swipe Anne's card and I can only use a bike for a maximum of thirty minutes or she's charged, I have to return the bike to any of the stations around Rennes, simple yes?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I arrived in town, found somewhere to leave bike #1. The market was right beside and looked amazing, lots of stands with lots of colourful vegetables, I decided to have a wander around Rennes before getting my heavy veggies. Rennes has a population double Hartlepool, but I'm sure its a lot bigger. I hadn't really expected it but Rennes is beautiful - big grand, artistic French buildings, very elegant and royal, I think the pictures will do it more justice than my words. It took a while for me to find the market again, circling the city, round and around. I got quite nervous to have to speak some French. Started with a tomato stall, amazing variety - every colour of tomatoes. He sussed me out as English within an instant, nice man but our Franglais wasn't great. Manged to buy some courgettes and onions, (was I spanish? italian?) Basil bought easily. Was teased trying to buy two nectarines, I thought my French was alright but anyway. The market was phenomenal, so, so large and bustling and amazing produce, veg, fruit, herbs, whole stalls of onions/garlic, a whole section of flowers (I managed to refrain) and then onto the seafood - looked increbile, but also scary - lots of shells.... meat and then inside to bread/cheese/pastries... accidentally bought a slice of cheese for nearly seven euros, (thank goodness its nice), a large baguette and into the last indoor building, I couldn't resist a fresh italian pasta stall, I think my french just about held up and I bought some vegetarian stuffed pasta. Finally for lunch, trying to juggle all my food and coat was a bit difficult but I made it in line for a gillet oeuf, quite nice, Anne's were better! Had a nice text from Gran Tiff, I seemed to be managing alright, other than the expensive cheese... yes I suppose I was....</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lunch in the sun and I found a crate to carry my food in - looking very French... I was actually stopped and asked something me in French! Fantastic morning, already looking forward to going again next saturday. Found a bike easily (wanted to get home before my cheese melted) and off I set. Just to find the canal. Oh so where is the canal. Is it nearly thirty minutes? I'll get another bike just incase.... and again.... oh here's my mistake - going the wrong way along the canal, I'll turn around again. Few bikes later, consider the time pressures -(I had to make sure I hadn't gone more than fifteen minutes the wrong way without seeing a bike so if needed I could retreat!) I decided to stop for a drink and try and go back home later. Getting my shopping out of the basket, heart-break moment: my peaches were now liquid. Super. I sucked what I could from the stone. Going by foot now. Came across an endearing square with some more bikes, right, I'd already wasted about forty minutes but the map showed I was right beside the canal, perfect - this time - I'll be home in half an hour. Dropped my bread on the floor for the second time as the inevitable happened, my plastic bag snapped - food everwhere. Off I went. Another bike later I found myself struggling to follow the canal - some of it is covered - who covers a canal?! took a right and ended up near some old looking caravans, quite probably gypsies.... turned around and checked a map, I was now well south of the city, I live in the North. Swearing in English. Back on foot. I'll get a drink and walk home if I have to. Obviously got lost again. To carry my food without a bag, things were stuffed in my coat and I had to tuck the baguette under my arm - the paper around it had long since blown off.... mardy face grumping along - why did I even need a baguette, I have mine and Anne's here to eat still! After a while of wandering out of nowhere saw another set of bikes, I now knew the way, I'd be home in fifteen minutes. Oh no - apparently I couldn't have another bike - some reason in French - I just kept wildly pressing buttons... third time lucky... and finally I am able to see the station outside the flat. Wow, it was full - can you imagine if there wasn't a space for my bike now? YES I CAN, well there was a space, but it didn't work, (I tried about twenty times) believe me, stand 3 will not accept a bike. Arghhh, time was still ticking - to find another station.... I managed this part and went into the swimming pool beside - no longer caring about my ridiculous appearance, veg sticking out of every pocket, weilding a baguette around. Water was amazing. Fifteen minute walk and I collapsed at home, feeling well and truely frustrated. Three hours since I decided to leave town.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Managed to calm down reading, laid in the sun in the park. Arriving back home, I'd received a card from Corinne! Delicious dinner with the fresh tomatoes and the most incredible pasta - almost worth all of the faff. After tea decided I was in the mood for a short cycle. Mistake. The clear cycle path into town suddenly disappeared in to a track, I was confident in the signage but lets just say if there was a place to be attacked in Renne... I got quite scared... eventually found my way out - obviously not the way I'd came, that would be too simple... I was somehow back in town..... The river/canal was lovely, very 'Monet'. Got back without difficulty and locked the door, enough for one day. You spoke too soon Gran Tiffy.</span></span></div>
