1. I’m ill: old problem of tremblings, fever, swollen leg etc. but this time our new Avignonaise doctor has diagnosed the problem: an erisypele, a Streptococcal bacterial infection of the blood via cracks in my poorly maintained feet. She’s the first one ever to do so, but I still can’t walk, stand up, eat or do any of the other basics of life so I had to skive off school today, bummer.
2. Pascal my Best Mate at school phoned to say I got the best mark in the practical for the ‘examen blanc’, test exam practical we did at the end of last term. Hurrah! And I also got 20/20 for ‘droit’, which is business administration, law and shite, our most boring lesson for which I did absolutely 0/20 revision. I can clearly cut this amount of work by half and still pass! Hurrah! And all they cooked today was Black Forest Gateau and Fish Croquettes. Welcome to 1973!
3. There is no 3.
4. Lapin à la moutarde tonight, what’re you having?
5. You can read some of my stuff now on http://www.cheftalk.com in the Culinary Students/A Year Back At Culinary School forum, which is all mine.
6. A new version of the program which runs this place, WordPress, is out. It tells me, amongst other things, to ‘run upgrade.php’ on my remote site. How the HELL do I do that?
7. That is all.
8. TTFN.

Hi Chris
As the Beach Boys said:
“I do them when I’m down in the tub
With avocado cream they’ll take a rub
They wrinkle like a-raisins if I stay too long
I wouldn’t want to do it wrong
They’ll put you in the driver’s seat
And to the table when you want to eat
But when you go to sit down in your chair
Something else has got to put you there
Take good care of your feet, pete
You better watch out what you eat, pete
Better take care of your life
’cause nobody else will
