Rise up and attack the day with enthusiasm.





The cafe under the arcades was supposed to re-open this morning. It didn't. As recompense Bob and Sophie get some meringue crumbs from the bakers wife. Bob has a look on his face that says meringue for breakfast should be part of his daily routine. 

Home to find the man who sweeps the boiler flue . In France the boiler flue must be swept by a specialist. Not the plumber, not the chimney sweep, not the furnace maintenance man. Only an accredited boiler flue sweep will do. The threat of carbon monoxide poisoning taken very seriously. Bob and Sophie greet the boiler flue man enthusiastically. The flue man is less enthusiastic about having two furry helpers. They are reluctantly confined to their pen.

Meringue sounds good to me and I am certain Merlin would concur.
How could the flue man reject such keen assistance.

Attacking the day with enthusiasm gets a lot easier with the prospect of meringue fro breakfast.

And we thought they just lowered a goose down the chimney.

We think a visit to all the shops each morning for a morsel would be in order.

I agree with Bob, meringue for breakfast should be routine !

I second the motion that meringue should be a breakfast routine!

I'm with Bob, meringue for breakfast sounds quite good to me too.

With or without coffee ?

Bob also thinks it should be accompanied by sausage. Still in agreement ?

Maybe in the depth of winter but in summer ?
