WAF - yes, no booking, just turn up and queue, or go straight in if not busy. While in that area, you need to have a wander through the "passages" which are beautiful. Veg restaurant in the Marais - we used to eat at Mi-Va-Mi, which is falafel a go go - lots of other falafel joints there, but service was always friendly at Mi-Va-Mi and always easy to get a seat (especially if you eat early). Where are you staying? I will let you know details of my favourite restaurant if you are nearby (it is a bit off the beaten track).
Today on the course was a bit better, but I have reached the stage of not caring whether I pass the final exam or not. Today wasn't too bad at all, until I got a panicky and screamy phone call from DD1, after which words like "product", "project", "supplier" and "user" leaped around on the page and I could barely remember my name.
No financial advice for you Herbs (I was a child bride 
). We do Joyless Saving, as in we are not saving for anything specific, save one third of our take home pay in various investments and schemes, and never reap nay benefit from it, due to DH having a rather shitty childhood and never wanting to be poor again. I hate it and am going to take some of my savings out for a holiday, and don't care what he says.
Crem - try tramadol with paracetamol - it sort of supercharges the tramadol, apparently, according to my doctor in Paris. It made me feel very odd indeed (I was on a cocktail of drugs, so it may not just have been the tramadol) and I thought I was going to die in the night one night.
