Sophie continues through life oblivious to human concerns. She thinks having at least one member of her family on call 24/7 is a great improvement. Ear scrunches whenever they're needed. The lack of a shared breakfast croissant is an issue but is compensated for by more time spent in the kitchen .
The village was quiet over the weekend although sharp eyed observers might have noticed that there were at least three families lunching al fresco. The largest gathering - at the tikes house - saw a dozen diners. The smallest - the man with anger management issues - a more restrained six. Angus and Sophie walk through the village pretending to be oblivious to this gradual breakdown in social distancing. Three weeks of lockdown was something the French could cope with. An additional month ? Less so.
Angus' job today is to find some way of contacting the Italian wine shippers.

Bertie had a good laugh at the first link. But he's been concerned at the lack of croissant photos on this blog recently.

LOL - some good links there to lighten the morning... since the visual croissant fix is indeed sadly lacking. YAM xx
I shall tell Inca about the first link - and I'm sure we'll have a good laugh about it too! Then, if she can catch it, she may tell the cat next door!
Angus often writes with a subliminal meaning. Today methinks it's not Sophie who is oblivious but the villagers.
Recent broadcast of "C dans l'air" had one expert speaking about reopening schools. He said that while children rarely become ill from the coronavirus, they shed huge quantities of virus. https://www.france.tv/france-5/c-dans-l-air/1373113-ce-virus-est-une-vacherie.html
If one factor in how badly one falls ill is how much virus enters the body from the beginning (why doctors and nurses are getting hit hard--they are getting repeated exposures of virus), then having little virus bombs coming home from school bodes ill.
People are really sick of isolation. A friend texted me whether I couldn't happen to buy bread at the bakery at the same time as her. "We'll stay two meters apart!" she promised.
You have excelled yourself this morning Angus with your choice of videos. I am still laughing at the last one. Social distancing? Not so much here either.
I had a feeling that the French are unlikely to follow the rules regarding social distancing. Those of us with British origins are used to doing what we are told.
Just came from Walmart (here on the Northern California coast) where almost everyone was masked and well-behaved. Since last week arrows have been added to the floor saying "shop this way" or "do no enter" to keep us in proper line in the aisles. That drove me a bit crazy because, of course, I always wanted to enter the aisle improperly. Sophie is looking most affable in the last picture.
Oops, meant do NOT enter.
