Randon word Random Picture

Random Word

As I flick over the pages in my Dictionanaire what will I find?

What a boring word to land on, Normal. My dictionary gives examples such as, the temperature is normal for the season, and that it is normal to be tired at the end of the day. Well I find the darkness makes you think that you are tired and should be retreating to the duvet, roll on lighter nights!

I did something tonight which isn't normal, I made some biscuits. How mad is that, it probably costs four times more money than buying some in a posh packet. Why am I making biscuits? Tomorrow two French ladies are coming round for coffee and to chat with my friend and myself. I may be about to forget every single French word that I have ever stuffed into my memory. Help me!!!

Random Picture

Ha how funny when I opened my eyes the picture I was on is called Forgotten, is this an omen? I wonder why some people can remember things better than I can? The picture was taken down by the castle in Fougeres and I posted it in my blog many months back. Oubliette is a dungeon or place underground for holding prisoners, so you are most definitely forgotten about down in the castle dungeon!

The French word for posh is chic.

The French word for stuffed is farci......actually I feel stuffed because I had a lovely pizza for lunch!!

Etymology for Nosh.

PS. Have you done anything that is not the norm for you today?

Random Word...random Picture

Like before, I will choose a word at random from my Robert Junior dictionaire.

Ok which word do we have...généraliser, something that has become the norm or everyday. My little French dictionary uses the computer as the example. The usage of the computer is general. Well I cant argue with that one. I love having access to so much information at my fingertips, in fact I would find it really hard to learn French without all the information available on the internet.

Oh and by the way my keyboard on this laptop is going bald. I have been using keyboards on all types of computers for a very very long time and I never had a bald keyboard before.

Ok here is my random picture and I promise I wont cheat unless its a picture that I recently posted,.................. good heavens look what I have here, its the loopy dog. Thats what they call a grab shot, so while its not fantastic I caught a certain look that I recognise very well.

Loopy Dog

Actually it just so happens that I got a really nice shot of the mutt yesterday and that isnt easy since she doesnt keep still very often, so I may as well show you. She looks really special.

January Thoughts

Oh and don't ask me what she is thinking about, because she hasn't worked out how to use that huge brain in that big head yet!

The French word for loopy is dingue, and you hear that a lot.

The French word for computer is ordinateur

The French word for available is disponible.
