Week 3

This week's not been so great, work has felt like work,
It's been a while since I have thought so much and my head's begun to hurt.
I spend too much time watching t.v. and not enough outside,
Which is stupid since in Nice it's sunny all the time.
French t.v. is mostly dubbed and awful quality,
Which hasn't stopped me falling for Emilie Albertini!
She presents "Change de Look" a programme about fashion,
But it's not the clothes I care about, she's my biggest passion!
The presenters of the weather here can be one of two things;
A leary bloke with facial hair or a bird in skinny jeans
I see it all the time, I promise i'm no liar,
A man with a dodgy goatee or women in alluring attire!
"Alerte Cobra" is a cop show, on France's answer to channel 5
It's a German show dubbed into French so the "Gendarmes" are "Polizei"
In truth I am addicted I watch it when I can,
The reliable German pros always get their man.
They drive a swish Mercedes and never miss a trick,
A ginger engineer is their formiddable sidekick.
But enough of dodgy t.v. all I do here is complain.
I've found things that make me happy and things to keep me sane,
Croissants or a pain au chocolat or a tasty warm baguette,
And I always smile when i'm published on the internet.
I like watching people busk for euros or even just centimes,
Whether a man on his guitar or a whole breakdancing team.
On Sunday, me and my housemate, went to see the man-made waterfall
Which obviously precedes Sarkozy but even Charles de Gaulle.
But the "cascade" is indicative of what i've found with Nice,
Just as I think i've seen the whole jigsaw I find another piece.
While this week may have been hard, it's made me realise,
That i'm privy to the beauty here hidden from tourist's eyes!
