Flu(x)

Bangalore is an indecisive grey, hovering between wet and dry. It's almost depressing, close to springtime in Lille! Our maid and driver fall ill, due to the cooler weather. Then me and my husband succomb a couple of days later. It is, I hope, the closest we'll get to winter flu here.

My interviewing process rumbles on (continues slowly). People are still making their minds up if I am suitable, what role to put me in. So remains to be seen if I will get anything concrete from it. I'm pleased companies are interested, but ungratefully fed-up of the process!

I cook a very French meal (boeuf bourginon) using Heinz tomato ketchup as part of the sauce, Sacla caramalised onions in a jar (fresh are out of stock) and accompany it with chips that I thought were for the oven, but in fact should be have been deep-fried. Somehow my husband and his French colleague think the meal is great. Must be the red wine I added.
