In the French house we do shopping for 24 people once a week, so it takes a bit of time to coordinate all the efforts. But imagine my surprise when, while checking out at the register I saw this!

He looked so forlorn that we couldn't just leave him there; so I took pity on him and brought him home with me :)

since then we've had a fantastic raclette party with some of my roommates...

Andrew received his new laptop! (that makes him look like a character from Gulliver's travels)

We've had quite a bit of snow...

and my uncle came to visit!
