Homework
Yesterday evening I was rather tired and was relieved to read from my notes that two out of our four homework assignments were in fact "for Friday", and I happily put them aside.
Then at night I realised that Friday was today, and I still had to do them... very fast in the morning.

Shopping
On my way from the school to hotel, I walked through the unknown west part of the old town, looking for a bookshop. I want to make a hike on Saturday and I was looking for a topographic map of the St-Victoire mountain. Where else one could find a map than a large bookshop.
Found a second-hand bookshop, but it had no maps. So I walked to the tourist office which had three maps of the mountain; I explained that I wanted the topographic one.
Then went to a nearby shopping centre, to see the photo store I had noticed on Wednesday. No, it did not have a battery charger for my camera. The prices for some large lenses made me rub my eyes, because they by far exceeded those in a photo boutique I had thought was the most expensive photo shop in the universe. And this was just an ordinary media department store, not a specialised one. Photography is expensive in France, I conclude.
Also had a stroll in the bookstore in the same large store, even in the comics' section.

Photos of the weekend ensured
Found the camera battery charger!!
I had forgotten all about it, as I had not emptied the inside pocket of the suitcase. Now I needed an eraser and thinking where it may be, I took out the suitcase and looked in its inside pocket. Voilà.
