Pardonnez-moi?

Have just been woken up out of dead sleep by phone ringing insistently. Stumbled over to it, said "hello?" and was greeted by French. You know you're bilingual when, after 6 hours of sleep you can...
- switch without thinking, or being particularly startled
- be sure to make no grammatical errors
- be sure to vous-vois
- remember to tone down the Marseillaise accent
- still be coherent to the elderly African woman on the phone, asking about J's hips and offering the name of a doctor she knows.

Still, after very little sleep, it must have been obvious to Mme that I was not particularly inclined to take the name of this doctor. So she said J had her number if he should want to call her, and to say hello to my parents.
All in all, very cute. But very early. blah.

Cheers
