If so have a look inside the end bit when you press and you should see a little spark, that's what's supposed to light the gas, not a flame.<br />Interesting blog too !<br /><br />ClaireClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568465974002174698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-44776042799388408222012-06-19T13:14:22.170-05:002012-06-19T13:14:22.170-05:00Oo, a trusser.

But that's depressing because I can't buy everything I see since it's too expensive to ship home. Another reason to buy an apartment here. The McClain book came out right after I read Hemingway's Moveable Feast.

I reread a lot of Hemingway stuff and then read The Paris Wife by Paul McLain, a fictional account of Hemingway's wife on living with H. in Paris.

I've tried a few different CD's to help learn it, but I never stuck with them because I had already picked up tons on my own from being over here. I didn't need to know how to ask how much for a hotel. I needed to have conversations with people speaking at gatling gun speed. My vocabulary is big but my grammar is poor. So I have taken classes from Alliance Francaise classes in my town. If you have an AF near you they are good. It's native speakers of French so you get all sorts of idioms, cultural background, different accents, etc. This spring we spent the class translating the lyrics of French popular music. In choosing a class make sure everyone is at your level of dedication.Julie Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810771028650707072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-65208240954992949412012-06-15T08:10:23.291-05:002012-06-15T08:10:23.291-05:00No idea what the tool is although I like the straw...No idea what the tool is although I like the strawberry huller option. Are you reading the Zola in French? One of my goals this summer is to learn French, since my children know so much more than I do and I love the language and country.
