Il dit, Elle dit, Edit

This last week I've been quite busy editing the monthly magazine of a charity organisation, mainly run by expat ladies ! I really enjoyed getting my teeth into it, giving it a bit of a facelift and a more modern, cleaner look.

So I am now Editor (Rédactrice) which sounds great. And much better than housewife! A good friend over here (who wants to become a career advisor) tells me that my perfect job would be website editor...hmmm we'll see!

I've now handed over the process to another woman, who will liaise with the printers to get it done (and hopefully not change too much of my work!).

Next week we go on holiday to Sri Lanka for just over a week, (which is why I couldn't be involved in the printing part). Me and my husband are really looking forward to going. The flight is just 1 hour 20 minutes long, Bangalore to Colombo. We haven't planned anything, just booked 2 hotels and arranged a taxi.

Did you know that the "Sri Lanka" means "venerable island"? Sri is a title of veneration/honour, a respectful affix, like Mr or Mrs.
