When we study daily routine and reflexive verbs we look at the life of Nick Vujicic. He is an extraordinary young man with no arms or legs. We follow his vidoe diary of Life Without Limbs and make up our own French commentary. I had the great honour of meeting him and giving him a hug. He is so skinny but I guess it is hard to overeat when it takes such an effort. For more info about Nick and his book Life wihout limits go to http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/
When I heard about a French swimmer who lost his limbs in a tragic accident when he was electocuted I thought it would make a great parallel text. You can read about it here.

Sadly I cannot find anything in the French news but I'll keep looking. For now I am very grateful to have two arms and two legs even if they are a bit shorter than I'd like. I'm a very average 1m60 which is the typical height of a French woman but it's a bit short here in Australia.
