Yesterday we caught the tail end of the storm that's been pounding the North of Europe. Wet and blustery. This doesn't stop the man with anger management issues from lighting a bonfire in his garden. The village is shrouded in damp smoke for much of the day. Today, by contrast, dawns bright and fair and smoke free. A situation more to Sophie's liking. She chases invisible things in the orchard for a full half hour.
The fancy cake shop window full of delights. Having bought a six person chocolate cake yesterday we pass by in silence. Or, to be more precise, Angus passes by in silence while Sophie dawdles long enough to emit a high pitched yelp of frustration. A 'Coeur Ispahan' is just what she needs as a post breakfast snack.
Dog and master being early risers ( read into that what you will ) have been tasked with buying prawns for a dinnertime risotto. There is only one fishmonger that has fresh prawns delivered from Arcachon daily. A rather stern lady behind the counter weighs a kilo and ignores Sophie who is doing her level best not to be ignored.
Then onto the butchers. For Sophie a small corner of paradise on earth. Her absolute favourite place on the planet. Bar none !
On our way back to the car we nearly run into a lady with a Sharpei. Sophie isn't sure what to make of the Sharpei. The Sharpei isn't sure what to make of Sophie. A hasty replanning of our route prevents a canine 'moment' from developing.
Oh to be twenty something again. Angus looks at this and then wonders what the physical consequences might be of trying this at his age and settles for the term 'long lasting' : https://twitter.com/OrgPhysics/status/1228861849694765057

That does look like fun! So today you've moved on from croissants-cakes-cheese-wine to cakes-cakes-seafood-sausages - leaves me wondering what sort of nefarious plan you have for us tomorrow.
Those prawns look good!
Yep. No don't try it Angus!!! Long lasting effects guaranteed!!! Catherine

...those cakes look entirely too proud of themselves... YAM xx
We like the look of this market. Please come back and try the cakes for us!!
Well, we would certainly give those cakes more than passing glance before very reluctantly passing on. Those sausages look so good - I'd give straight in to temptation to buy some.
It might be somewhat unwise to try that stunt with the motorcycle - you'd be suffering from more than a few twinges if you did!
I daren't show that video to Stuart; he's daft enough to think it's entirely possible at 55.
Those cakes do look rather serious although I might like to acquaint myself with the one I presume that has hazelnuts in it.
Good Morning, Sophie! Moi, aussi, je voulais un Couer Ispahan. I laughed at the comments on the video, from "fou" and "dingue" to "James Bonding"! I think I'll try to work the last into regular conversation.
