What’s new what’s up what’s happening in Australia
Well, well… I could not summon the courage to translate my first and inaugural post on this weblog, so I will just write additional posts in English for the miserable creatures out there who don’t know French… that is, until I have time and energy for a translation.
For those of you who are around Melbourne and wish to improve your French conversation skills, Alliance Française (St Kilda) hosts a weekly Wine & Cheese every Tuesday from 6:30pm to 8pm… I personally know the organiser and can vouch for her, although she is a little full of… beans! You will have a great time there!
It so happens that Pascal and I celebrated our first Aussie anniversary last week, as we arrived in Melbourne on 22 February 2005… time really does fly. We adopted a kitten from RSPCA on Easter Monday, a week after we moved in to our home sweet home on Alma Rd, and in December could not help ourselves and got a second kitten (whose arrival corresponded pretty much with my birthday, but shhh… no one needs to realise this odd coincidence). Please meet Joli Coeur aka Kiki “le gros cheeky” and Titou “les mauvais coups”, our darling cats.

We are quite pleased with our move Down Under, and do not have any regrets so far, even though we realise that we can’t see our friends and family as often as we’d like. The great advantage to living in the 21st century is being able to communicate via email and get to chat live on Skype (may I add that we are the proud owners of a webcam, so you can admire our tanned, athletic bodies… kidding!). OK, so Melbourne is quite far from the tropical kind of postcard you would get on the Gold Coast, but it is a really nice, cosmopolitan� place to live with lots of parklands and sandy beaches… I will not talk again about the little penguins, but be aware that they are pretty much the only ones that feel comfortable in our cold Tasmania/Antarctica waters… I am exaggerating a bit, but hey, I come from the deep South 
Before I forget, you may leave comments at the end of each post. I welcome your feedback! 
That’s it for tonight… Cheers and good night!
Your blog looks great! i also have a cat now, he looks just like the one in your pic. he was a stray kitten. so tiny! i couldn’t resist… but now he’s getting big and is a pain in my ass, but i love him. i have a scar all the way down my stomach from holding him as a fire truck drove past my window and my cat freaked out and clawed me. i kinda hate cats, except for mine.
Chère Isa, Bon blog - quel travail, et maintenant traduit en français et tout! Je ne sais pas comment vous trouvez le temps.
Ici, mieux vaut ne pas être chat = la grippe aviaire! Les gens ont peur et la SPA dit de ne pas continuer l’abandon de chats!

Perhaps you know that a French documentary on penguins won an Oscar (documantary film)
In Paris we are freezing and I dont’t want to hear about beaches, sun, warm water an things like that…
I was lucky to spend holidays in Thailand in February:
for me, Thailand is like paradise. Of course, I havn’t been
able to get to Melbourne yet!?
