DD1 said her French IB was "OK". I would worry more if she thought it was easy in case that meant she had cocked it up.
I spend a disproportionate amount of time in Geneva and can vouch for the ridiculousness of the prices there, particularly at the airport. I loathe Geneva with a passion. Had an interview for a job there a few years ago and very grateful I didn't get it.
Herbs, that sounds a great way forward, job wise. But consultancy would probably be more profitable.
CV - if you wanted to jump on a number 12, 159 or 453 bus from Trafalgar Square, just over Westminster Bridge to Lower Marsh, there is an excellent Italian that does GF pizza and pasta. The owner is coeliac. It's called Cotto, and will take you 10 minutes on the bus. Or go to Gaby's on Charing Cross Road for falafel and interesting salads. Also good for GF-ers.
Rose, let us know the dates of the play reading, won't you? Will that hot young American man be starring again? 
In S & B news, I have bought two cropped cashmere cardigans from Boden, one black, one orange. I like them - they seem a lot less matronly than the full length ones. I also bought a curved waist dress, which I think is nice, but is much too big, so will go back and be returned for a smaller size. The neckline is good, and I think it could be a Useful Dress.
Trying not to think of hospital appointment tomorrow. Will not rush into work afterwards, but will have a coffee afterwards and maybe a mooch round Borough Market and a gentle amble back to work. They get enough hours out of me for the rest of the year.
