Le pique-nique

Everybody at work has been very complimentary about my new hairstyle - apart from one pupil who said "Why are you wearing young person's hair? Your face is too old for it." which I thought was very funny. Although maybe he's right, oh dear! It's a horrible thought; perhaps my allegedly young hairstyle is like ancient Miss Havisham still wearing her wedding dress in Great Expectations!
I had to make a packed lunch for Antoine today and he was very suspicious that I wouldn't produce it and kept asking about his "pique-nique". So I bought sandwiches out of Tesco and re-wrapped them in cling-film so that he would think I had made them, like a proper Mum. I also gave him lots of drinks, fruit and snacks and off he and David went to catch the train. It made me reflect that I really should make packed lunches again; it would be more healthy and a lot cheaper. I used to make packed lunches every day but over the last few years when things were so difficult with poor Mum we all started using our various canteens and although life is calmer now it is always more difficult to get back into good habits than to get out of them!
