Le fabuleux destin d'Ellinor

OMG!

I actually had a sort of amazing day at work! Unbelievable! Due to my lack of voice, so to speak (lol), I was assigned to the dairy instead of the checkout counter. That couldn't make me happier. What is 4 C cold in comparison to embittered middleage women?

Anyways, that wasn't what made my day at work. While I was standing outside the dairy, arranging yoghurt cartons I suddenly heard a familiar sound approaching. I lifted my eyes and about 20 cm from me was a French-speaking middleaged couple choosing "Mellis" yoghurt. Even though I still couldn't talk very well I decided to faire un effort, couldn't let this chance slip away, and asked if je pouvais leur aider.

After that followed a long conversation tout en francais, and they told me that they lived in une très belle ville, (maybe Limoges?) south of Paris. Apparently they were in Luleå to be at a wedding in Gammelstads kyrka. The most amazing thing was that I actually understood every word they said! And they understood me! They, or the woman, I mostly talked to her, spoke very clear and had no weird accent. She was enchanted when she heard I was going to Paris and left me their names, phonenumber, and address, like"si vous voulez vous visiter".
They had also a 27 year old daughter, living in Paris who they kind of wanted me to meet.
Le fabuleux destin d'Ellinor @ Ica, ou quoi?

But what's up with french people?? They are so nice! This is the second pair (out of 3!) I've met who have given me their numbers. Swedish people don't do that!
France is neeeeeext!

After finishing unpacking all the dairy products (after 5h, my colleagues thought I was really slow, but heey it was A LOT!) I left for my appointment with the hairdresser at 13h (and managed to get in some shopping as well). Got my hair cut and dyed. Before taking the bus back home I went to the toilettes in Shopping and took some photos of myself. Ha ha ha. I know it's so lame but here you are:


Oh, I almost forgot. The frenchmen wanted me to write my name on a note, and within a few seconds I had written Ellinor. So Elinor is my name now, and I am gonna hand in the papers tomorrow! Maybe this is like being newborn?
