After a few tidy up tasks, we pile into a big red van. A trip to the shops. En route we stop and pull up alongside a tractor we are now blocking the road (but around here it is not a big problem) and my friend chats to a farmer, or should I say shouts. There is a party on Saturday and she is inviting him and his family.

We pull into a supermarket car park and have a good laugh, the van has just stalled, my friend felt around the ignition and at first couldnt find the keys and wondered if the keys were at home. After we stop laughing we enter the store order lots of bread, and fill a trolley with several boxes of sparkly wine to make many glasses of Kir. The staff are very helpful. Onwards to the next shop to buy colourful paper covers for tables. Shop number 3 we fill another 3 shopping trolleys, this is to be a great party. The party thrower chats to a man who is waiting for the till to open he needs an euro!!!! He waits patiently and is very jovial.

The party is to celebrate a new start. nouveau commencement. The French word for laugh is here

Flies

The last couple of weeks I have been driven mad by flies. The French word for fly is mouche . Of course if you are going on holiday you sometimes get there via an aeroplane and fly. A special friend of mine uses those hanging down sticky spiral things..yeuk...Although recently I have even contemplated getting some!..Initially I tried the old fashioned methods of putting mint and herbs around the room and they worked. well for a while.
Here is a song about Zobi..


A bit differnt eh...here is some information about the Band LNV

Internet friends and French humour

Is it possible to have Internet friends? Well I think it is possible, I have a friend on Stumble who often sends me links to Internet sites. Sometimes they are musical like this one its great fun. Many thanks to Lovatscout in Inverness for sending me that link, lots of the links he sends to me are very funny. The French use the word drole an awful lot.

I have spent the afternoon with a special friend who I "met" on the Internet on a forum called Brittany Friends, and I noticed before I dashed off earlier that the lovely Woolly Shepherd had made some comments on my blog. In fact I have met the Woolly Shepherd and she knows a thing or two about wool, sheep, and lots of other useful information for people considering smallholding. Woolly also pops onto the forum from time to time when she isnt working or exhausted, or épuisé

Here is a little bit of French humour!
