… and despite, for me, it being a traditional Day of Rest, no such luck unfortunately. I have plenty of work to do.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if you know why I’m here, but basically my friend Marianne has written a book. It’s called Les Secrets du Moine<\/a>, a mystery thriller involving buried treasure and an Abbey.<\/p>\n

It’s written in French of course, and she would like it translated. But it isn’t easy because there’s such a lot in there that can’t be translated literally or it will lose the sense. And there are all kinds of stuff in there that needs a lot of careful thought. <\/p>\n

When I had been here in July<\/a> Marianne had given me a copy to read on the ‘plane over to Canada. And on my return she asked me what I had thought of it.<\/p>\n

I told her that I enjoyed it tremendously (which is true) and so she asked me if I would like to translate it.<\/p>\n

And so I had done some research on what it was that I was expected to know, and here I am – ready to set to work.<\/p>\n

And this will be my task for the next week or so – to thrash out a whole plan with Marianne and to discuss the technical issues involving the plot of the book (I don’t pretend to understand it all).<\/p>\n

So I’d better stop blogging and get working, hadn’t I?<\/p>\n
