It&#8217;s not a long flight to Bordeaux which is a relief; though part of me wishes it was long haul so I don&#8217;t have to speak french so soon and can use jet lag as an excuse!

The weather is lovely but I haven\u2019t experienced midday heat yet so we\u2019ll see how that goes\u2026<br \/>\nI am living with a single woman, Christine, who is so far a wonderful host. My biggest worry so far is that her only shower is one of those ones which is attached to the bath tap so it may not be a refreshing as I hoped #firstworldproblems!<br \/>\nGoing to be heading in to Bordeaux itself today to meet the other stagiares which should be fun if I can figure out the trams!<br \/>\nStay tuned for an update on how my day went later this evening!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-190\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/aberexchanges\/files\/2016\/07\/bdx-quais-soir.png\" alt=\"bdx-quais-soir\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit\">See You In The Next Blog!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit\">xoxo Lydia<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D-Day So today is the day.
