Tuesday 7th of July: OFF ; shopping day
---------------------------------------------------------------
Today Karen works and Francois too. Keith doesn't still leave. I have nothing interesting to make. So, I ask if he wants to help him. He answers me that he hasn't planned to hard work. He has to make shopping for the kitchen of the new student's house.
Before to leave, I ask him to recall the agency of INLAND REVENUE in order to ask them the adress of my interview. I give him the number that the woman was given me...but it doesn't work. In fact, it was my reference number, not phone number.
I search my ID for give him my number but I don't find...It's really weird...I'm worried! I ask Keith to
wait while I search it in all my bedroom (furniture, clothes, bed, jacket, bags, ground...NOTHING)
The man confirms the date and hour my interview but for the address it wasn't the same...He mentions about other town close of Portsmouth: Southampton.
Finally, I give up to search by thinking that I have lost it in the changing room of Cafe Rouge. So, I phone them but they are busy. Fergus asks me to recall later. We let a french message on the door for Francois because Keith has forgot to give him the house's key.
We are gone to direction the first shop "...". During the travel, we listen of course ELVIS. Keith wants to buy 2 work-tops of 3 meters colors granite. Unfortunately, there isn't anymore in stock. So he must be reserved for 2 days. But the salesman phones to other shop in Havant where he thinks there is again. Lucky! It isn't far.
Soon we arrive, Keith parks on the back
march. I must sit behind him because he wants to put the 2 woods all the long of his 4x4. A big, tall and strong salesman brings us alone the 2 work-top...easy!
First shop done, next! A big shop like Leroy Merlin, where we have bought a cheap kitchen sink, with kitchen drain kit pieces and couple of faucet.
I receive a call of the INLAND REVENUE, the same man that Keith was talked. He explains me that my interview has again changed of location: It will be in Portsmouth to ENTREPRISE HOUSE and I will receive a post letter which will contain my convocation and informations about the address and papers that I need to bring with me. Great news!
We return in direction of his student's house. On the way, we stop to a "..." shop in order to buy connections for dishwasher, sink.
Great, now we can stock all in student's house. It's in the center of the town. They have bought it for 3 years. Keith has let a classified ad in the university for September and french students have already called in order to rent now. Unfortunately, it isn't finished...all painting are done but he has to fix furnitures, make the decoration and clean a last times the entire house because with repairs there is lots dusts.
We hurry to rang work-tops because it's raining. Everything is all right. We come back at home. On the way, Keith shows me the last home of Karen. It's in Cosham, very close of the new house. The reason is that she didn't want leave the town because Richard goes to the College in Copnor, about 10 minutes of bus and 10 minutes of walking.
At 15, Francois is come back at home. Nice to meet you...blabla. He hasn't worked lots because he has difficulties to understand English. His first day, he spends his times to complete a stupid book about rules of his Hotel. The matter is that questions concerns all jobs that there are in a hotel. Moreover, the answers are really obvious and stupid...but it's about security and conditions of work ...so we have made together Francois, Keith and me his homework...It's a big book, maybe 40 sheets. Indeed, we have spent 2 almost 3 hours. I have made the translator for Francois but not always in French. I have tried to explain him in different ways with easy words...Often he understands so it's great!
Karen is come back from the work and she has cooked the roast's dinner. Yes, already Monday!
After the dinner, I give a little lesson to Francois about basic english rules. I make him a memo about stucture of Questions, Answers, Conjugation, Vocabulary... I have taken with me some english memos from school so I let him. He's happy but worried...because it's harsh for him to understand
Keith and Karen. But the worst: he doesn't succeed to be understood. I reassure him and advice him to learn this basic lesson. I promise him that his english will be better in 2 weeks but it will be hard.
