Last night the first of the real winter storms. Thunder , lightning and hail. This morning the strong winds are still gusting down from the mountain passes, watering cans clattering across the courtyard. That double layer PON coat comes into its own in weather like this.
Here the beer tent that had been put up for the village fete has been disassembled. The surplus kegs of beer moved into the safety of the communal kitchen in readiness for the next rugby game. The wide screen television remains in place. Madame Bay arrives with some pigs ears for Bob and Sophie. She informs us that the aftermath of the argument between the German billionaires wife and the man with anger management issues continues to reverberate.The telling and retelling of the story has seen the language used go from 'direct' to 'barrack room'. We find it difficult to believe that the German lady would ever have used the words attributed to her.

And, in contrast, some Tuesday morning dancing :

Bob seems somewhat less thrilled with the wind than Sophie. Cherry hates the wind, which seems an unhelpful trait in a sheepdog.
Strange that torrential rain, snow and of course mud hold no fears for Polish Lowlands but strong winds make them want to curl up in their beds. Must be something deep in their DNA.
Pigs ears? Did someone say pigs ears?
Tüdel pip!
Bertie (still in gloriously sunny Bavaria).
For the gourmand PON pigs ears are right up there alongside air dried tripe.
Looking a bit windswept there today Pons. The rugby should be good at the weekend.

While the PONs scored with pig ears, readers here scored with amazing renditions of Russian Soldiers Dancing (got caught up in that thread for more than a minute!) and now got the earphones on with the IISS item.
Chinese whispers in deepest France prefonde is surely crying out for international detente! YAM xx
I hope that one incident with the ugly words from the anger management man won't develop into something which alienates the German family from the villagers permanently. The attitude they have toward the Belgian Lady comes to mind.
There must be a moral somewhere about messing with Billionaire's wives and men with anger management issues. The Village will enjoy that exchange for years....
