You mean you’ve never almost face planted and somehow found the core strength to turn it into an unasked for handstand?

You went into a handstand?

That takes more than just core strength to achieve from that position

You practice?

Yes. And I have never once found the strength to fall out of a failed attempt at a crow pose into a handstand

Your casual show of strength definitely would have made a lasting impression

T-minus ten daysbefore Addie gets back to London

Do you only speak French on a day to day basis?

95% of the time, yeah.

Just these texts and my regular phone calls with my sisters that keep me speaking English.

It’s my first language

But you don’t speak it with your sisters?

Biological yes. I have one of those. And then I have three bonus sisters

Those are who I speak English with

Are you going to miss that?

What speaking French?

I’ll still do it around family

But it might take a moment for me to remember to speak English first

So what are you going to miss?

Brooks & Draper. Which is like the Vivi’s of Montreal and makes the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Don’t tell my dad

My hot yoga instructor

Tori – my only proper friend out here, but we’ll still talk so that doesn’t completely count

The view from my office at work

Mooching about the farmer’s market on a Sunday and leaving with a new bunch of flowers

The library at the university and the table that I have worked from for over a decade

You miss anything from Manchester?

I miss my old job. The team were really good and the location was always busy which meant that there was never a dull day

I also had a hot yoga instructor that I miss

But other than work nothing was really holding me there, so it was time to move on

When we’re saying hot yoga instructor do we mean an instructor who leads hot yoga classes or an instructor who is hot?
