Both PONs were bathed yesterday. Such a short sentence but one that obscures a morning of trying to catch two wiley Polish Lowland Sheepdogs. They try hiding at the far side of the garden. Sophie dons her invisibility cloak and disappears under a bed in an upstairs guest room. Bob does his '' road kill attached to the floor by super glue '' routine. Bob gets bathed first. Sophie, who displays a remarkable turn of speed when cornered, is 'caught' an hour later.
During the proceedings Angus changes his shirt and trousers not once but twice.
Afterwards he receives the PON patented '' We thought we could trust you " look.
They get a guilt assuaging rice cake which seems to cheer them up.
A new Burger King has been built in the supermarket car park. It's gone up in two weeks. The French would have you believe they don't like fast food. Nothing, but nothing, could be further from the truth.
Gourds make an appearance in the supermarket. They are very popular with the North African crowd. Angus had never thought that pumpkins were a Maghreb thing.
Why is it crisp flavours always seem more sophisticated in French ?

Since there were 85 foot waves out in the Atlantic with Florence......just maybe this curious place now rests at the bottom of the ocean!
Dear Bob and Sophie,
Re baths: resistance is futile.
Toodle pip!

pumpkin of one type or another is a staple food the world over... and one of my personal faves! YAM xx
Do the dogs like to roll in the dirt after their baths? My horse does..all that work for nothing!
They do !
Notice the lack of inside views on the video? Translates to: Dark, worn out, functional but god-awful. Wonder if it's still standing after Hurricane Flo first hit offshore yesterday? You find such interesting things to share with us Angus!
Both bed and breakfast appear optional. How would you get there ? Got to be three hours out by boat.
Dog-bathing is like cat-catching pre-vet: Close off avenues of escape, such as guest rooms. The picture you paint is quite Chaplinesque.
You couldn't pay me enough to sit in that offshore platform. Especially now. Four hours inland, and we have flood warnings and rain for the next several days. It remains to be seen whether people will start waking up about damage to the climate.
