Sunday morning. Sophie lets me know that she's being neglected.
For the last couple of days the angelic duo have had to put up with their master having long phone conversations with men in dark suits. This has required strict silence on the angelic duo's part. Silence is difficult for the PONs to maintain. Now the sturm und drang is done they can return to their natural, noisy routine. Angus tells Bob that one day, when all this is written down, people will be amazed. Thank heavens for the calming influence of Mattis, Macron and May.
Sunday starts with an enthusiastic high speed, high decibel tour of the garden to make sure that no c-a-t-s are present. Blackbirds are chased ineptly. Then it's time to be harnessed up, argue over who's going to get into the back of the car first and then head off to the greengrocers.
Fresh white asparagus, ceps and artichokes make their way into the shopping bag.
Back in the village the annoying tike's are up early. Someone has given each of them one of those electric unicycle scooters. Whirring slightly they progress up and down the lane laughing and giggling. Every so often one of the tike's falls off and the other laughs uproariously. The falling off happens frequently and in an egalitarian, equally shared way so there is lots of laughter. The one wheeled scooters do not meet with the PONs approval. Bob barks. Sophie shrieks.
Normal service has been resumed.
A new hotel where the French president had his 40th birthday : http://relaisdechambord.com/

And finally can it be true that American kids can't walk to the park alone ? : https://letgrow.org/free-range-kids-bill-signed-law-utah-first-nation/

Despite not having any real idea of what you do I am reassured and intrigued by your observation that we are all going to be amazed when all this is history and that we should all be thankful for the three Ms. I am sure you meant it kindly for those of us watching events with some alarm and scepticism.
Angus we are looking forward to your spy tell all book.
Suffice it to say that our Angus is an international man of mystery.
Are we all ordering advance copies?
The book would undoubtedly be made into a movie. But who would portray the PONs' master? Daniel Craig?
The tykes sound quite a bit like human versions of PONs....
Intrigue Abounds.
Loving the web-tour of the French chateaux. Was indeed fantasising a booking up until spying the use of tweezers in the kitchen - such pretentious folly!
I can't help but notice that since Friday, the news has all been concentrated on missile sites rather than on Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels et al. Comey starts his book tour this week so the media are sure to shift their attention to the Mueller investigation. One can only wonder what else Trump has up his sleeve to divert the our attention. Keep your phone handy.
I don’t know what you do either, but I’m reassured by your love of animals and people in need.
👍🏻

too much smoke and mirrors... "3M combines science, technology, creativity and innovation to make a real impact, stimulating progress to inspire people and communities across the globe." Will the same be said about the political triple emm, one wonders? Life moves along with grounding things such as PONs and asparagus and kids being allowed to be kids.
Peaceful Sunday to you all at the ROF... YAM xx
Sophie does look neglected. Poor thing...Is Sophie not interested in world events? I notice Bob is your confidant in these weighty matters.
I like the look of the Blue Lagoon retreat. A place to go when May, Mattis and Macron's calming influence is no longer sought?
Cheers, Gail.
Sophie looks as if she has been ‘shushed ‘ one too many times, since she is the vocal one. Bob, however, looks as if he has been in on a conference call, and is pondering.
Just knowing that Angus is speaking at length with men in dark suits while we here shudder in anxiety at what will happen next in this insane nightmare we are living through is very calming!!!!!
