Getting dressed in the morning was nightmare since you never knew what the weather was going to be like. I always end up being too cold or too hot. In my closet, my cashmere sweaters are side-by-side with my sleeveless summer dresses and it&#8217;s impossible to put either away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11804 size-gallery-carousel\" title=\"Napperon \u00e0 carreaux\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Instagram-Juillet-3.jpg\" alt=\"Repas de bistro\" width=\"580\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Instagram-Juillet-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Instagram-Juillet-3-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Instagram-Juillet-3-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Instagram-Juillet-3-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I renewed my 1-year French residence permit for the seventh time this year and I still have no hope of getting the 10-year permit. This year they didn&#8217;t ask me for as many documents as they used to.\u00a0 It was really odd that I ended up seeing the same civil servant as last year. She&#8217;s a nice lady and I was quite surprised that she was the one to recognise us !<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I always choose a morning appointment and R\u00e9jean has to accompany me to prove that he&#8217;s still shacking-up with me, we are usually out by lunch. We have made it a ritual to eat together before splitting up to go to work. I enjoy it since we seldom have time to have a nice lunch together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If all goes well, we should not get to eat lunch together next year as I might be French by then !<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12026\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12026\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12026 size-gallery-carousel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Akira-pret-pour-vacances-12.jpg\" alt=\"Akira avec son bonnet de bain\" width=\"580\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Akira-pret-pour-vacances-12.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Akira-pret-pour-vacances-12-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Akira-pret-pour-vacances-12-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.boeingbleudemer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Akira-pret-pour-vacances-12-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ready for a swim in Lake Geneva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Akira, our dog, will be going away this week and we will leave for our holidays a few days later.
