Winter coat

40 degrees this weekend in Melbourne, and I find myself heading to the dry-cleaner's to collect my winter coat! The first possible laundry day is in Paris so I have to pack twelve changes of clothing, and I must confess that I have absolutely no idea whether it is all going to fit in my suitcase. I reckon it will, but it'll be a close-run thing. I am really looking forward to the plane trip tomorrow as a) I love aeroplanes and b) it'll give me time to go through the phrasebook. Although there is no force in heaven or on earth that is going to make my French pronunciation sound classy.
