5:58 am. A slight change to our routine. Instead of being woken by a cold wet nose pressed into his right ear , Angus is instead woken by a shaggy tail beating against his face. Bob has found a slipper on the floor and has turned around to check it out. Angus is up quickly.
Decidedly cool this morning. Cool weather = turbocharged PONs. The pre-dawn hurtle round the garden undertaken at super fast speed.
Angus and the angelic duo arrive at the bakers. The bakery staff clearly aren't early birds. This mornings croissant decidedly lacklustre. 6/10 - the dough unfluffy. The PONs think this score is miserly and would give it an 11/10 , if asked. Bobs tail is still wagging. Sophie drinks noisily from the bowl of water that the baker has provided.
Unappealing green things with brown marks at the front of the greengrocers display. They are examined, briefly.
The last of the melons. Can the year have raced by that quickly ?
Back at home 'The Font' is up and about and reading the Swedish papers and magazines brought back from London. That time of year when we start saving the papers as kindling for the fire.
Just another quiet Saturday with two enthusiastic and increasingly shaggy companions,

evennmy wide palate does not recognise the foreign fruit... but I'd be buying one to explore further!!! YAM xx
5:58? Up and getting the dogs out at almost that exact same time. I've no idea what the day will bring, other than the V E T at 11. We'll see.
The supermarket stocks an amazing amount of unusual fruit - one wonders if they sell a lot of it? We don't recognize any in the photo besides the melons. Ours only stocks apples, oranges, grapes, melons, lemons, pears, limes and then the seasonal fruits such as strawberries, raspberries , nectarines, peaches etc as they arrive through the spring and summer.
Some folks sleep in later in the winter. Not dog owners. Hope the 11.00 am vet trip isn't with Alf or Buster. Let us know how it goes.
There is a large immigrant population in Toulouse so the greengrocers is always full of fruit and vegetables from warm and exotic places.
I wish we would have some cooler weather here. I am not thrilled about raking leaves, which are falling, in ninety degree weather.
I have just found your lovely blog. I think the green things with the brown marks are walnuts. and is the spiky one durian fruit
