j'adore le fromage

Hello from a not so sunny Bordeaux! It seems the weather was indeed too good to last. No matter! I have other ways to brighten my days, such as new friends, old friends, and kitties! Rehearsals are going well, and aren't too strenuous, so I've had time to relax a bit. On Sunday I went to an open air market on the banks of the river with the other woman who's singing Pamina (we're double cast) and bought tasty fresh food to bring to our friend's gorgeous apartment for a lovely Sunday brunch! 

Melody and Isabelle in Isabelle's bright happy kitchen!

Monday night found me back at Isabelle's with Melody, but we were joined by the other owner of the beautiful apartment, my dear friend Elza! Elza is in the ensemble with me in Frankfurt, and had a break in her schedule, so was able to come back to Bordeaux for a few days. We had a delightful evening, and enjoyed a delicious meal of raclette. I love the food over here! 


Elza and Isabelle have a new kitten! You may remember that I took care of their other cat a while back. I'm not sure how much she likes having competition for cuteness, but this little one sure is adorable! Her name is Gluemie, because she sticks to you like glue. :-)

Well it's already late here, so I should end it there! Quick Chad update: he had his first exam today, and he thinks it went well! Three more and a paper to go... And 11 days until we're together again!
Where I have my morning coffee! The apartment is just a one bedroom, but it's two levels.
