Train-train

French word of the day:

le train-train.

It refers to the daily routine.

I think you could translate it as

"same old, same old" or perhaps

"another day, another dollar".

I don't usually complain about the daily grind.

You see, I really enjoy teaching English.

However, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday I teach pretty much all day.

As you teachers reading this know,

it's exhausting.

So I love making it to Thursday, 

when I only have a few classes.

It means I finally have some down time pour moi.

This afternoon, the weather was perfect.

I had about six zillion errands I needed to do 

& lots of stuff to take care of at home.

But you know what?

Carpe Diem was my high-school motto.

So I took advantage of not being caught up in the train-train,

unlike the first part of the week.

I gathered up my book, some stationary & my sunglasses.

I walked along the lake for a while.

I found a bench in the sun with a beautiful view of the water.

I read, people-watched, daydreamed a little.

Oh, & I took the above photo of 

Annecy's cute little tourist locomotive for you.

Take that, train-train!
