After upping our lives and moving country to live in Grenoble in August we've now been here for almost three months. I am studying French and looking for a new job. Marion started her new job and our children started International school. It would be a lie to say that everything is perfect but living here in the heart of the french alps we have just to look at the horizon or take a short car journey and be in the middle of nature.

Learning

I am learning French. I have just finished a course at the Alliance Française here in Grenoble. Suplementing this is my continued Duolingo use. I've just passed 225 days streak. I am working my way through "Le Petit Prince" in French.

Side project I am currently working on:

As it is December I am doing Advent of Code. I am tracking my code in my github.com/bigandy/aoc-2024 repo

Reading

Just started reading "Intermezzo" by Sally Rooney and just finished “An Italian Education” by Tim Parks. Also reading "Le Petit Prince" in French.

Fitness

Zwifting once or twice a week, running once or twice. Yesterday I made excellent use of the fantastic weather to do an epic road ride with 1500m+ d+ in 82km "Deeper into the Vercors" . I have also been doing plenty of walking and on Sunday we went to Autrans in the Vercors for our weekly family hike.
