Hullo again, thanks for your comments, and maybe emails but i havn’t read those yet.
A small correction: the house I live in is called ‘Tilleul’, its named after the tree in the courtyard.
Sam: Yes they prepare a vegeterian option for those who need it, its not fancy but it certainly exists.
This week has been a good week, the house I live in is much more homely, we have a washing machine, real tea, and a space to hang around in. We are incouraged to live in community with the other 10 boys who live in the house, rather then with the visitors. Partly because if I had to make friends and say good bye every week I would be an emoitional wreck in a month. I have said enough good-byes in the last 2 weeks for now.
Now I am a perminant, I work morning and evening. This week I organise people who clean toilets in ‘point 5′ and in the late afternoon I help prepare special meals in the El Abioth (sp?) Kitchen. I have most of the early afternoon free, except some days there is a bible study or a meeting with a contact brother.
We have breakfast and lunch togeather in the house, and dinner in the community (where the brothers live) with some of the brothers. Lunch and sing a song and then eat in silence for the first 10 or so minutes. With classical music playing. It is nice, and kind of funny. We get better food that includes more veges now, which is lucky, I just need to learn how to eat less.
Well I could describe lots of things, but I wont. It is harder to get to the internet now that Taize is busy with people for holy week. Once a week is all I am likly to achieve.
My deepest love and blessings, I will now go read my email and facebook.

An environment, job and people that culminates towards spiritual, emotional, physical and mental serenity, balance and harmony. In other words, it’s better than KFC bucket feast. ’tis a wonderful time and place Andrew Gray.
Are you growing a grey beard?
Hey bro!
You’re lucky being able to eat with the brothers! There is so much I reckon we can learn from them, but as I girl I was more removed from them. I did have the sisters to learn from. But I envied the boys chance to hang out with the brothers more.
Any sign of Matthieu?
How many people are there for Holy week? You’ll be busy. I guess it’ll quieten down a bit again for a while until it builds up to the summer crowds.
Germany sounds fun! I agree it’s best to make the most of contacts and friends in countries while you are there, you can go to a country where you don’t know anyone any time and you have not lost anything, but new friendships can fade easily with distance and time so grab the chance while it’s there.
Lots of love!
Excellence all round.
I bought a full-on suit today (and it was expensive). Ridiculous… I would rather be hanging out with people in France to be honest.
