With the exception of leaving my laptop at Narita Airport, everything worked out. Eventually even the lost laptop reappeared 10 days later.

Grand-mère Françoise habite une maison magique avec plein de cachettes! Son jardin est aussi magnifique et chaque jour ses poules pondent des oeufs délicieux. Mais un jour se produisit un drôle de truc. Quand les bottes de géant parurent les poulettes eurent très peur, sauf une. La petite poule grise! Elle tomba folle amoureuse de ces magnifiques bottes et de leur couleur verte. et le lendemain! Et que va-t-on en faire? Je ne vis pas que de rêves.

I also had some ground beef in the freezer, and the two knd of came together in my mind as a nice filling for a weeknight sandwich, sort of loose-meat style.
