Not a success


First light. Bob springs into action mode. Sophie takes a little longer to 'get with it'.


'The Fonts' visa was supposed to be ready by four. The courier got held up and it didn't get delivered until seven. Not a problem if you live in Paris but too late for country dwellers to rebook onto one of the last flights back to Toulouse.


Angus made a six egg omelette. This wasn't a success. It came out more like a pancake. Bob and Sophie had half of it. They both thought it was W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L.  They licked and licked and licked their bowls until they dish washer shone. They then sat and bombarded me with PON ESP to suggest that I make another.


This morning we walk in convoy through the village and greet the goats, the horses and the donkeys. Our daily touch of Enid Blyton.  Bob and Angus sit on the storm drain and discuss the CNN report that the Mueller report is nearly ready. Bob thinks it might be, Angus is less sure. Sophie turns on her back and falls innocently asleep in the long grass.

So starts another day with dogs in deepest, deepest France profonde.

Sublime rendition to ease one into the day... as is the sight of sunshine on your primulas and rolling hills and grinning PONs. Still blanket-style muck up this way. Was the ESP successful? YAM xx

Perfect musical start to the day. Thanks!

We were out of eggs so no way of knowing if a second attempt would have been more successful.

Your day sounds awesome. Beats my day of working. Love the Pons photo. Please give them a big pat from me.

We in the States are suffering from battle fatigue and are prepared to be disappointed by yet another false alarm. Does not feel as if the end will really be the end.
