Today I just stayed in and did some recipe costing..it’s
quite a schlep on the laptop since the mouse doesn’t
Kind of over Lyon when I’m not working, the social scene is
different here. People my age just don’t do the same sort of stuff as they do
back in Cape Town.
Just realised I`ve been in Lyon for 3 months now...feels
like forever...just under 2 months left to go...so many new, exciting things to
look forward to in Cape Town when I get back home.
Today we had a guy doing a stage which will last about 2
weeks...he`s French, but has been working in a French restaurant/bakery in French,
USA for the last 3 years and wants to learn a bit more about the baking side
(he isn’t a chef or baker). He`s a decent guy but he obviously struggles with
shaping and general basic baking things take him a while to do, so I had to
carry him this morning while doing other stuff as well. Benjamin, the guy who`s
replaced Yann is ok, but he just doesn’t have that second gear yet...he works
just a bit too slow.
So this morning I had to run around a bit...but in the end
it all worked out fine. We also had a 15 year old kid called Izam/Izzam who`s
doing an apprenticeship at the bakery. Nice kid, I just have to speak to him in
French, as he doesn’t really understand English at all...but I think I did ok
explaining everything to him.
We gave the place a good clean after the work was done and
then Benjamin, William and myself went for bagels. I think we were discussing
them and Benjamin was saying how they`re not good and William and I were
disagreeing. So we chilled and ate and chatted a bit...it`s nice to have down
time after work...low maintenance downtime... just chatting, not like dealing
with people`s shit at all.
