This is a picture of all the garments i need to alter. There are exactly 17 in total and i’m not sure i haven’t forgotten some in my closet. Most of them have been waiting to get my attention for some time, like the dress from NZ that dates back to my last trip there, four years ago! As i said, shame on me. I don’t want to aim too high, as i tend to do n’est-ce pas… but i would like to have all the alterations done before i go on holiday on the 6th of August. Yeah i know, it’s way too optimistic. Especially since some of these alterations require unpicking the zip and lining, man i’m tired just thinking about it. Wish me luck, i will make sure you don’t miss anything on my progress :)

So, I can officially come out with my great news.
1. I got my driver’s license!!! Finally, ten years after getting my New Zealand one, which btw expired in March… Now i have a french one! What joy. I’ve been driving around in our humongous station wagon, dodging by very little a divorce with Quentin. Let’s wait and see who will be thanking the skies when i get picked as the designated driver!
2. I have a job lined up for August!! It’s for this amazing young designer, he’s about my age and is about to launch his third or fourth collection. Sorry, no name dropping for now, i’m big on the whole jinx thing. I will be working in a small street just off the Champs-Elysées where there’s not one but TWO Zara stores. I must find the willpower not to spend all my money there, cause you see, if i want to avoid making a change on the metro, i have to walk past it in order to get to the right station, hmm.

Can’t say much for now, but it seems things are brightening up. Won’t have all the answers till next week. Imagine how impatient i am!! But seeing i’m not that mean, here are a couple of clues: both driving and working are involved ;)
