Angus and Sophie pick up their pace, head home and set off for a restorative morning croissant.
It's getting hot now. The bakers patio busy with office workers enjoying the sunshine and fresh air with their breakfast. Sophie is kept harnessed up although she only has eyes for her croissant ends.
Before our day moves into top gear there's time for a tour of the shopping centre car park. We're back to using the big car full time. The small Volvo continues to display bipolar tendencies so will be kept in the barn until the dealership in Toulouse can deal with it.
Back at home the family diva displays the quiet happiness of a dog who's been through a hedge backwards. As, indeed, she has.
Last night we dined ( virtually ) in Brooklyn. We have never been to Brooklyn but it looks rather hip. Angus thinks all the cocktails are rather 'flowery' :https://www.mamafoxbk.com/
Is this the most surprising/exciting horse race ever ? :https://twitter.com/KentuckyDerby/status/1523132266595368960

Crushed courgettes! Is the culprit in the pay of the German billionaire? The plot thickens...
What excitement! It seems there would be evidence left on the treads if the excavator really was used to smash the courgettes - it's hard to imagine wiping them clean? Sophie does indeed look happy in that last shot. I think I may have looked like that yesterday the first time I watched that Derby run!
Most interesting. But aren't courgettes more of a summer vegetable rather than a spring vegetable? Thanks for the link to a NYC restaurant, I am planning on being there in the spring of 2023 with a girlfriend to celebrate our 60th birthdays.
Whoever thinks life in a small village is dull, can't have been thinking about your little part of Paradise! Whatever next?
Are you sure Sophie hasn't got Labrador genes in there somewhere - she displays all the tendencies where eyes only for food are concerned! She does indeed look very happy - curly croissant ends can do that to a girl!
I see what you did there...
Interesting turn of events, who knew Sophie could drive that thing, I studied law about three miles from Churchill Downs, that was an amazing finish

...zapped zucchinis at midnight? There HAS to be a book on the village happenings, where less than 70 residents have events to match a town of 7000 - as exciting as any Derby... YAM xx
One could wonder how a large piece of heavy machinery could be fired up in the middle of the night without waking up half the village. A case for Hercules Poirot.
I rarely watch sporting events but never miss the Triple Crown. We literally sat with jaws dropped unable to believe what we had just witnessed on tv. What a horse and what a jockey. It was not unlike watching a maniac driver maneuver his way around an overloaded highway during rush hour.
What a plot twist!! Nothing seems to upset our leading lady, though!
Rich Strike sounds like the name of a character from a James Bond movie. And I think The Rich Strike can do anything James Bond can do! An amazing Kentucky Derby race!!! It has taken years for me to learn how to pronounce Louisville like the residents. Lu-ha-vul.
I live in Louisville, Ky, and have been in the area most of my life. It still amazes me that the world watches our race. You think I'd be used to it by now! I love Bailey Bob's pronunciation. He's got it! Love to Sophie. Give her a ear scrunch for me.
