As ever, where is the time going? I think I’m almost at a stage where I don’t miss home so much any more. I plan on going back at some point but I’m not *yearning* for it now.

Australia Needs to Have a Federal Department for the Arts!
In the spirit of protestation and defiance gripping France at the moment, this article is my bit towards protesting the Morrison government’s latest act, which was to axe the federal arts department.

In Which I Try Senegalese Food for the First Time
Some time back, I wrote a bucket list of all the things I wanted to do while we’re here in Marseille. One of those things was going to a Senegalese restaurant and trying out a new cuisine – and we got to do just that last night!

However, in a stellar example of French administration, nobody had thought to informContinue reading “My First Two Weeks of Being A Language Assistant”
Time to Start Something New
In September 2019 I will fly to the other side of the world to start a placement in France’s language assistant program, which will have me helping out in two high schools in central Marseille.
