Another Course

Julie Delpy
I went wandering around the Pipe again today and I found a studio that offers stained glass courses. The reason that I went in was the variety of finished pieces that they had on display. They had the usual hummingbirds and Tiffany lamps and stuff. But what caught my eye was a meditating Buddha window. They also had some funky stuff. So I went in and met the lady who runs the studio with her hubby and son. She was really cool and spoke perfect English and was keen on me taking the course. I wanted to do the Buddha but she just laughed at me and told me that I needed to learn how to walk before I could run. True. So I picked some geometric design that looks like a sunrise. While I was there, another woman came in inquiring about the course - she was French and looked exactly like Julie Delpy. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. But then again, that is true of most French women. They really stand apart from us all. There are quite a few French women who have kids at the British School and they just look so good it just confounds me. They smell good, they have dewy skin and even though they are wearing makeup, it doesn't look like they are! Plus, they speak so beautifully - whether it's just French between them or English with that awesome accent - it is like music compared to the Dutch language. No offence Dutchies, but all that 'back-of-the-throat' nonsense is hard on the ears. Where was I? Oh yeah... I'm taking a stained course in 2 weeks and I am super-pysched.
