Yesterday, I had planned to walk to the nearby park to chill in the sun with my magazine and iPod, but ended walking even further than I did on Saturday - I went into Annecy town centre properly. It's everything you'd stereotypically imagine an old French town to be like; lots of little windy streets, churches, old architecture, lots of little cafes and boutiques .... and I couldn't believe how busy it was, everyone was out enjoying the sun, it was gorgeous. Every cafe and ice cream shop for miles was open, with queues at each one. I managed to resist temptation and not buy a gigantic ice cream! (Although I made up the calories in pain au chocolat when I got back). Between walking there and back, and wandering around the town, I must have covered about 4 miles - my feet were killing when I got back!
Today has been quite hectic. Unlike last week, when sometimes I was just sitting not knowing what to do, everyone had a job for me today. Time flew by pretty quickly! This morning I worked with one of the housekeepers to move around the beds in two different rooms; me + carrying a heavy mattress + stairs + high heels = a very precarious combination! Luckily we managed it without any accidents. Every Monday, the centre gets a delivery of fresh flowers, so after the mattress carry-on I made up some bouquets. It was just one thing after another today, but I prefer that, the day goes by a lot quicker when you're busy and you learn more. Tomorrow there is another conference happening, so I was doing lots of stuff to prepare for that; preparing the rooms, making rooms key etc. I feel that gradually they are trusting me to do more stuff, which is good.
So now, I'm exhausted! I think a well deserved pain au chocolat is in order (definitely have to get more of those!) xxxxxxxx
