Something for my colleague

[Just Katie]

I am working with a young French girl aged 25.  She loves the London scene, music, fashion etc and speaks good English with a few 'cute' mistakes here and there.  She has told me that she would like to start reading in English and I offered to get her a book.

I flicked through the 'Ten French Commandments' and thought she would enjoy it as she is very interested in our cultural differences, then I put it back worrying that it may be a load of tosh and she would throw it in the corner and think I was a wally.

Any suggestions?

Brigitte Jones?  Well known here on film.

Thanks Deb,

I was more asking whether the french ten commandments book was a good read.  Anyway my daughter has lent her something or other now.  How are you keeping these days?  Xx

I haven't read it so have no idea, Katie.  I mentioned BJ because a girl I eat with - 20 - liked both the movies and the book.

I'm fine.  Teetering on the brink of leaving here - I think - subject to a meeting with the surgeon in the middle of May.  I may need another op', I may get better, or I may be hobbling about for the rest of my life.  Nobody really knows.  But I expect to be an out-patient by the end of next month.
