Imbal Day
Oh, happy day, today is the bi-weekly visit from our cleaning lady, Imbal. Imbal has seen the inside of a few Canadian homes, as she came to us through our Canadian embassy connection. We hired her husband, too, to help me paint the apartment over several weeks last fall. They are both from the old French colony of Mauritius.Imbal naturally doesn't speak English, so it's another opportunity for a practical French lesson. Today Imbal presented her lecture on syntax and vocabulary concerning vacuum cleaners (les aspirateurs). While we have been loath to replace every one of our North American appliances with those that run on European voltage, I can see we're going to have to buy a vacuum or I'll be reviewing this lesson regularly.
