The Manhattanites are up late. They are worried that events in Kabul will spur the worlds 'mischief makers' onto testing out this administration in one of a hundred places. They may well be right.
The sunflower fields now past their best. A week or two of sunshine to dry them out and the combines will be back for the final harvesting of the year.
On our way home we find the horse farm is having an early visitor . Sophie doesn't seem to be alarmed by the arrival of the horse. She trots past without breaking her stride. Go figure !
Pineapples in short supply in the greengrocers. They only have the Togolese 'Bread Fruit' variety which have a taste that is too sophisticated for this sugar loving palate.
The family diva gets a lengthy walk around the car park. How sophisticated is that ?

Sophie's tale is quite magnificent in that first shot!
That France is drifting back from the August holidays is even evident here in Aberdeen, where a friend's daughter who works for Total in Paris but is currently 'working from home' rushes past us this morning without giving Bertie the customary pat, muttering that there's no time to talk, she's suddenly got a ton of emails to deal with!
Cheers, Gail.
Does Sophie find her walk around the car park as enjoyable as sitting on the storm drain and discussing world affairs?
French owned villas nearby are now closed up, or in the process of doing so. The French renting through a company will possibly have another week and then it will be Au revoir. One French owner we knew would arrive just after midnight on 1st of August and at the end of the month leave early evening, drive back home and go to work the following morning!
Unlikely many Brits will be here this year - most seem to have resigned themselves to staycations.
It is a thing of wonder.
Seems everyone is back in the village bit not yet at work. That's best left to Parisians.
Sophie finds the scents of the shopping centre car park to be enticingly sophisticated !
Such a bright dog, ignore the funny long legged dog,
