Procrastination

It happens. And it happens to me frequently. These past couple of weeks I have been putting off working on my Cold War project for history. Tonight I really have to buckle down and get some work done. But we'll see.

Though I did accomplish something today: I wrote down the places and times of various shows I want to see, and looked through my schedule to see when I can go to them. There are all kinds of things going on...dance shows, circuses, dramas, comedians, concerts. You name it, it's in Avignon right now. I also organized my collection of stolen show posters. Turns out only 2 of the 6 would fit in my suitcase, but I did manage to detach 2 of the bigger ones from their cardboard-box backing so I could roll them up. It worked quite well. As for the other two, they weren't ones I particular liked anyhow, so no harm done.

Tonight for dinner I had a couple discoveries. One, I love blackberries. Who knew? Two, we had lentils and "boudins," or little pork sausages, which were soooo tasty. Three, for dessert was "riz au lait," a type of rice pudding that was surprisingly delicious. This was mainly due to the addition of sweetened condensed milk, which over here is much thicker and comes in a tube, and in familiar language is known as "miel des vaches," or the honey of the cows. A fitting description, in my opinion.

Anyhow, I better get back to my research. Who thought summer vacation could be so much work?

Love and miss you all!
