Found a couple of language schools I'm interested in. I had them send me some information which'll get here in the next few days I hope. One's in Paris and the other's in Nice. Hm. Metropolitan summer or beach summer? I think I'm more of a metropolitan summer boy to be honest.

Chatted with Philip again to discuss the sensibility of doing something like this, and I think we're agreed it's a good idea. After all, two months would only cost £2.5k and that'd include accommodation. I'd have to eat and go out on top of that, obviously, but I'm not a huge partier.

Now the only complication that has arisen is that I still want to learn to fly. In fact, I've provisionally booked my first lesson for 4th February (but not in the morning) but I'd find that difficult to do in France. Unless, of course, I get all the ground stuff out of the way and then just build some hours there. Ooh! I could buy myself a plane!

Jon and I went to the gym in the evening. I feel very virtuous - even more so after I came home and ate steamed Trout with salad. A little dressing on the salad but it was just an easy pesto one and hardly any fat in it at all. No, really...
