Another grey and cloudy start to our day. The jet stream is way off course and dragging cold winds all the way down from Norway. The PONs, despite their summer cut, love this brisk weather.
More posters for the European elections have gone up on the communal notice boards. Lots of words like 're-establish', 'change' and 'together'. The international lexicon of politics. We notice there is an animal rights party. The use of beagles in animal testing a big - and controversial - thing here.
The Communists also have a jolly looking poster. The Europe of the people versus the Europe of the wealthy. Don't think I've ever seen a Frenchman with the name Ian.
In a surprise twist we have been able to vote by post in the British Euro elections.
On our way off to get the morning croissants we're held up by an accident. No one is hurt but a woman has driven out of her drive without looking. It goes without saying she's pulled out straight in front of an oncoming car. 'I've done it a thousand times and there's never been anyone there' I hear her saying.
At the sausage and ham stall in the market the PONs are convinced they've died and gone to heaven. Bob has to be 'encouraged' along no less than three times. He has his mind set on a particularly enticing boudin noir.
Outside we make a detour to avoid the dog that belongs to the cheese shop. She might be small but she is very proprietorial.
This is quite something. Sophie , with her metal legs, is quite a bouncer : https://twitter.com/humorandanimals/status/1129400636385243136

Boing boing boing. I need a bionic hip. The hip's hirpling today. YAM xx
Bertie will no doubt be demonstrating why he is called 'Bouncing Bertie' when he is picked up from boarding kennels tomorrow. Meanwhile his owner will avoid bouncing until her knees recover from cycling over the two highest road passes in Wales..
I remember being surprised on learning, after some American friends called their new born son 'Ian', that this was considered an unusual and exotic name in Colorado.

Ohh the market looks nice with a good selection of meats.
Love the lady driver. It might teach her to look next time.
I see there's a
I see there's a Frenchman with the last name of Bellamy in that first photo of posters. Almost as though the printers mixed up the two.
Here in the US Land Rover is running a wonderful commercial for their new Epoque which features a Beagle. It's beautifully done with great closeups of soulful brown eyes. If I'm away from the TV when I hear the opening vocal, I always stop what I'm doing and go watch.
The cheese shop's Jack Russell does look like she means business.

Whoops...my laptop acting up today. Apologies for taking up so much space.
Did Bob and Sophie get a tiny taste at the sausage and ham stall? From the looks of the ‘cheese’ Dog, I am not sure even humans got in the store!
We just had our election and are now in the what-went-wrong phase.
